Cruise Ship Manager

This game was well worth the $1.50 I paid for it. If you want to relax and just have fun being a cruise director, this game is great. It is not polished like a triple A game, but it very fun. You can't even get a double cheeseburger at McDonald's for $1.50.

Steam reviews are mostly negative for a reason. This is one of those cases where I seriously have to wonder if the dev bothered playing their game for any meaningful amount of time, otherwise, they'd see how annoying it is to have to micromanage every little thing and deal with the continuous problems that happen. Bed breaks? Send a worker to fix it, then another breaks, and another, well hopefully the worker goes and fixes it. Upgrading the rooms to level 10 does nothing to help, starting a new game on easy with events turned all the way down does nothing. And heaven forbid you upgrade to a large ship, otherwise you can end up with 20 or more rooms breaking on your voyage. It's actually easier to just ignore them and just demolish/rebuild them when the trip ends. Same with cleaning and fires. And worse is the staff getting tired, you have to constantly monitor and manually replace them when they get tired, every employee, every trip. Otherwise guest happiness plummets and there goes your reputation. Can't even overwrite a save, the game asks you to confirm overwriting but doesn't actually do it. I seriously do have to wonder how the dev thought any of this was a good idea, the only explanation I can come up with is that they never bothered playing the game themselves beyond seeing if it actually worked. A developer thinking the condition of this game is acceptable seriously makes me want to avoid anything else they make.

Terrible game.

Lots of bugs

A waste.....

The game is fun and I've always enjoyed this kind of format. My only quips with the game so far is the economics and staff management. The cost to upgrade to the next size cruise ship class is $150k but I can only make about $5-8k per cruise. I'll be playing forever at this rate. I also noticed the staff gets tired quickly and you have to manually assign and replace them. There should be a better employee management system to assign shifts or allow extra crew to step in when the others need rest. The last thing that's given me some heartburn is the constant onboard fires. There is no fire suppression system you can buy and you also have to assign the staff to put out the fire. The staff don't always react in real time and will just ignore or walk past a fire that are within their vicinity. Most of this are quality of life updates but I find them the most challenging to deal with and not having the options to react. I spend half my time trying to put out a fire on one of my cruises. These aren't deal breakers but on my wish list :)

This game was posted unfinished and hasn't been fixed. It should have been EA and only if they planned on working on it. Seems like a money-grab or fraud.
