[h1]Viel Potenzial, welches nicht genutzt wurde... Schade![/h1] Das Spiel macht anfangs unglaublich viel Spaß und hat einen hohen Suchtfaktor, allerdings flacht das Ganze schnell ab. Nach nur 2–3 Spielstunden hat man im Grunde schon alles gesehen; es wird sehr [i]repetitiv[/i]. [b]Die größten Kritikpunkte:[/b] [list] [] [b]Fehlende Transparenz:[/b] Von vielen Attributen, die man mühsam verbessert, kennt man den eigentlichen Mehrwert gar nicht. Dennoch werden die Produkte oft schlecht bewertet, obwohl man die neuesten Innovationen bringt – die Bewertungen fühlen sich fast schon zufällig an. [] [b]Balancing:[/b] Die Löhne der Mitarbeiter steigen bis ins Unermessliche, da unrealistische Events (wie „Löhne müssen um 50% erhöht werden“) den Fortschritt sabotieren. [*] [b]Juwelen:[/b] Diese verlieren extrem schnell an Bedeutung und haben irgendwann überhaupt keinen Einfluss mehr auf das Spielgeschehen. [/list] [h2]Das Logik-Problem im Late-Game[/h2] Besonders frustrierend ist das absolute [b]„Dead End“[/b]: Wenn man ein Produkt einmal komplett gemaxed hat (alle Attribute auf Anschlag), gibt es keine Steigerungsmöglichkeit mehr. Verkauft man dieses perfekte Produkt dann erneut, wird man vom Spiel dafür kritisiert, dass es keine Verbesserung zum Vorgänger gibt – obwohl man rein mechanisch gar nichts mehr hinzufügen kann. Da man aber verkaufen [u]muss[/u], um Geld zu verdienen, landet man in einer Sackgasse. Hier hört die Logik der Simulation einfach auf. [h2]Fazit[/h2] Updates scheinen sowieso nicht mehr zu erscheinen, was extrem schade ist, da das Grundgerüst einen sehr stark limitiert. Auch wenn das Spiel einen fairen Preis hat, würde ich rückblickend lieber etwas mehr Geld in die Hand nehmen und ein deutlich langlebigeres Spiel kaufen. [i]Müsst ihr wissen, aber ich rate eher ab.[/i]

Gut, gerne noch Updates.
gutes spiel was man ofline spielen kann. sehr empfehlenswert
ist cool
Este juego es muy bueno, poder aumentar la cantidad de empleados, crear además de celulares; tablets, procesadores y SO (Sistema Operativo). Lo malo que le veo es que no tiene actualizaciones y tiene muchos bugs, como por ejemplo, uno que lo hace injugable, es que te dan una propuesta de por ejemplo, comprar tu procesador para los teléfonos de otra marca, cuando le das a aceptar o cancelar el juego se queda congelado, puede interactuar, pero los días no avanzan.
мусор,обещают реалестичную конкуренцию а на деле чистый рандом,это не стоит вашего времени и денег
The game is way to short and unfinished sadly, as the base of the game is really fun! This game has a lot of playing fun for about five to eight hours, after that you probably have everything maxed and its really, really hard to improve, the only thing you can do is sell the EXACT SAME component over and over and over again to generate a few billions and to repeat that process until you buy a different company, which generates MINIMAL income, that can help you, e.g. Xiaomi cost me ~120B$ to buy and it generates about 8B$ per year, so youll get your investment back in about 15 years, which is multiple hours of playtime. On top of that, the games currency for research gets extremely pointless after you max everything out, so you just stockpile them for no reason, mind you buying you companies (which mostly happens after you max everything out) are giving research points to you, as a secondary resource, but you cant use them anymore, when you're at this point in the game. The fans count is also really weirdly made, as its speed of growth abruptly stops changing at one point and you thus are never getting away of being the last place on the fans tab for a really long time, although you have the net worth of a top 5 company. This is also the reason, because pop-ups are capped, for example you can sometimes get a tax repay, the problem is, its capped at 5M$ and you still get the pop-up when you are making multiple hundreds of million dollars per week, which is really annoying. This is just one specific pop-up, this is the case for every single pop-up, it doesnt matter if its a gambling pop-up or about friends or worker condition, at some point it doesnt really make sense anymore, that people are going to protest against you, because they "only make 5M$ PER MONTH" or that your factory burns down and you need to pay 5M$, but youre paying 80M$ per month in maintanence at that point. The factory also feels unimplemented in the game, because as you max it out, its impossible to get out of the lower money category if you make your processor yourself and you make a new smartphone with that processor, where everything is maxed out. You need to pay 1015$ to produce such thing with a late andriod version, as that also only goes to 66$, and you can only get 300% of your production costs per unit, so youre maximum price is 3045$, that you can set. Mind you Qualcomms processors in this game are at 6094$ with the same stats as youre at this point and they are considered as "medium price category at some point". This leads us to our next problem, that there are hardlimits of how good your phone is able to get, that the other companies arent able to get to, for example my phones are able to get to 184,679 technical power, where as the other companies are capped 184,421 for some reason Im not aware of. This doesnt sound bad, but keep in mind, that your costs are also always in the cheap category, so the other companies dont stand a chance against you in any way, because they are more expensive and worse than you. Another problem with the game is, that all companies produce the EXACT SAME components over and over again at some point, so the Oppo X19 is the EXACT SAME as the Oppo X33, because theres nothing to improve. The next problem is, that the calculation of points for the OS is really buggy, so you can build the best OS thats technically possible and the people will still say that some OS, thats about 10,000 technical points worse than your OS, is better and you cant do anything against it. I think this is because there are three "price categories" private, free and priced, so all priced OS are getting into one category and thus are downranking your phone, note that you for some reason still get money if you set your OS to free or private, its just not as much as if you are doing it priced. But in this game the rankings are also really, really weird as there is a category called "Markup", which is never explained and I still dont have an idea of how it works. as there is no explanation anywhere and it can either be 1 or -1, which can decide if your phone is a good 7/10 or a bad 5/10. then there is a fanbonus youll never even get close to maxing out, as I got 0.7/1.5 in 10 hours of playtime in that one save. Then there are improvement points, which are just not possible to get anymore when you maxed out your points and straight up "random points", which can range from -0.5 to 0.5. Your components ranking is only worth 1 out of the 10 total points and a maxed out camera is for some reason still only 0 out of 0.5 points. Then there is a "latest edition" category in which I never got anything less than 0.5, although I released four components at the same time. All in all you can say, that the point system is pretty bad. This would have been bad, if the points mattered! For some reason EVERY SINGLE PHONE I EVER MADE GOT A NET PROFIT! And the ranking only really mattered, how long it took to sell the units, which is not important, when you make only a few units per new component. This is more important since there is a 2 year selling limit, after which all your left over components just vanish into thin air. Also companies can for some reason buy stock that isnt there anymore and you randomly get 8B$ if you max out your processor and your factory everytime theyre buying that. Another problem is, that I dont know if marketing even works in this game. I made every continent 100%, but I didnt feel a difference in selling when I did that, Note that this is really expensive as I paid 60M$ a month and the upgrades cost ~20,000 research points, which are the final point, where you can spend them. A different problem is, that the number of people you can sign is limited to 52 at the maximum level, which limits your rate of progress drastically. My next point is, that the UI as a whole looks so vibe-coded as the functions are just buttons with a gradient and the employment is just a picture, so all people are always at the same point, for example jumping in a pool and working for you, which just feels off and if youre not full with employees, you cant see that, because the picture never changes. The next problem is, that you can make a flip phone (and a different phone, but its locked behind a "not available" screen), but I didnt get anything differently from making it flipped instead of normal, which is weird, because this is a pretty expensive unlockable for the early game. Also, the net worth evaluation does not make any sense, why is my company 100B$ less worth if I just bought a company thats worth 168B$ for 120B$? The hard mode is also really bad, as the only two things I realied are the frequency of pop-ups and that they're giving -1 to every ranking, which is as mentioned before pretty useless. So I dont see why this is a "hard mode". Then theres the special currency, which is really weird, because you can set the amount in a sandbox game yourself and it doesnt reset for every other game. Also, the path where you initially get everything is done after 1h of playtime, Id wished it was longer and not only for design purposes. I hope, that I accumulated all problems. that I had while playing this game. If you want to play a 6$ game for 5 hours, then go for it! But if you want to play a game for a long time this isnt the game for you, Id like to see a multiplayer for that, so that I can race with friends, but as this game seems to be pretty forgotten (Update 1.0.4...) I dont have a good feeling for that, so in conclusion I would advise against buying.
Unplayably buggy after the first few hours, And the developers abandoned it without finishing.
Mobiles Tycoon is a business simulation that zeroes in on a very specific and surprisingly compelling niche: the rise and management of a smartphone company. Developed and published by Insignis Games, it invites players to step into the role of a tech entrepreneur, starting with a modest operation and gradually building toward a dominant presence in a competitive market. What gives the game its appeal is not just the familiar tycoon structure, but the way it grounds that structure in a recognizable industry where product design, innovation, and branding all play critical roles. The early stages of the game are defined by constraint and careful planning. You begin with limited capital, a small team, and basic technology, which forces you to think strategically about every decision. Hiring employees, allocating research funds, and choosing which features to prioritize in your first devices all carry weight. This initial phase is where Mobiles Tycoon feels most engaging, as every success—whether it’s a well-received phone release or a smart investment—feels earned. The gradual expansion of your company, from a small office to a larger operation with multiple departments, provides a steady sense of progression that keeps you invested. At the heart of the experience is the device creation system, which allows you to design smartphones and other products in considerable detail. You are not simply selecting from preset options; instead, you are balancing specifications such as performance, cost, battery life, and overall appeal. This process captures the essence of real-world product development, where trade-offs are inevitable and success depends on understanding both technology and market demand. Over time, you gain access to more advanced components and features, which opens up new possibilities and encourages experimentation with different design philosophies. The research and development system reinforces this sense of growth. With a broad technology tree to explore, you can unlock improvements that directly influence your products and competitiveness. Advancing through these technologies feels rewarding because it has a tangible impact on gameplay, allowing you to create more sophisticated and desirable devices. At the same time, the presence of competing companies adds pressure to keep innovating. Rivals release their own products and evolve alongside you, which prevents the game from becoming completely static and encourages you to adapt your strategy as the market shifts. Beyond product design, Mobiles Tycoon incorporates a range of management systems that simulate the broader challenges of running a company. You must oversee hiring, manage salaries, expand office space, and invest in marketing to ensure your devices reach the right audience. These systems are straightforward enough to be accessible but still require attention, especially as your company grows and the scale of decisions increases. Balancing income and expenses becomes more complex over time, particularly when you begin investing in larger projects or expanding your production capabilities. One of the more interesting elements is the inclusion of operating system development. Rather than treating software as a background statistic, the game allows you to create and refine your own OS, adding another layer of customization and immersion. This feature helps differentiate Mobiles Tycoon from more generic business simulators, as it ties together hardware and software in a way that mirrors the real tech industry. Seeing your ecosystem evolve alongside your devices adds a sense of cohesion to the overall experience. However, as the game progresses, some of its limitations become more apparent. While the systems are satisfying, they do not always evolve in complexity at the same pace as your company grows. Once you discover a successful formula for designing profitable devices, the gameplay can start to feel repetitive, with fewer surprises or challenges to disrupt your routine. The competitive aspect, while present, is not always dynamic enough to force significant changes in strategy, which can reduce the sense of tension in later stages. Visually, the game takes a functional approach. The interface is clean and easy to navigate, prioritizing clarity over style. While there are 3D elements and visual indicators of your company’s growth, the presentation remains relatively simple. This works well for a simulation-focused title, as it keeps the emphasis on decision-making rather than spectacle, but it also means the game lacks the visual flair that might help maintain engagement over longer sessions. Despite these shortcomings, Mobiles Tycoon succeeds in delivering a focused and enjoyable simulation of the mobile tech industry. It captures the excitement of building a brand, designing products, and watching your company expand, all within a framework that is easy to understand but still offers room for strategic thinking. The game’s strength lies in its clarity of purpose—it knows what it wants to simulate and does so effectively, even if it doesn’t push its systems as far as it could. In the end, Mobiles Tycoon is best appreciated as a streamlined, accessible tycoon experience rather than a deeply complex business simulator. It provides a satisfying loop of creation, management, and growth that will appeal to players interested in technology and entrepreneurship. While it may not sustain long-term engagement for those seeking high levels of complexity or unpredictability, it offers a solid and enjoyable journey within its chosen niche. Rating: 8/10
