Tattoo Tycoon

Perhaps little bit of an early review, but since not many people have reviewed yet and I'm sure others are interested in reading reviews, so here are my first opinions. I'll give a little info about the performance first and the game runs smooth. I'm currently playing on a 10 year old laptop with a 970M graphics card due to my main gaming laptop dying 2 weeks ago. Despite this old laptop, the game runs smoothly at 60fps (locked). There are no graphic options other than resolution, but considering how well the game runs I doubt anyone would need to lower any settings anyway. I like it so far, it seems to have a nice pace and plenty enough to do on a workday. I'm still on the first map but so far the game has been very easy. I cannot share some other opinions on the manual tattooing being too hard, I find it rather easy and so far haven't failed any tattoo yet. I'm not a fan of being given plenty of free money etc. due to story progress, but I presume it may also be because it's just the first map I'm playing on. The game seems to have a similar map to map progression as Two Point Hospital. You do need to fulfill a list of requirements to move up to the next map though. One negative point is that there does not seem to be any kind of sandbox or free play mode so you are locked into the storyline and linear map progression. There is one 1 last level on the world map that seems to be different as it does not list any rent or cost or available rooms or anything like the other maps, though it seems like it's some type of story related tattoo convention or something similar rather than an unlockable sandbox map. The gameplay (other than building usable items and decoration in your studio) consists of consulting customers to get the right tattoo design for them (which can fail) and to tattoo customers (which can also fail), however both of these can be automated instead of doing manually. Furthermore you can hire staff that will also do this automatically instead of playing mini games. You will gain inspiration points when doing tattoos and can also do brainstorming to get these points. The points can be used to unlock items for building, like decoration etc. (which still need to be purchased for money after they are unlocked) and the points can also be used to design new tattoo stencils. Stencils are used up so you always need to have a good repertoire of stencils available for potential customers. The character customization at the beginning only offers a decent but limited option of clothing, hairstyles, accessories etc. but you will unlock more as you play. Also you can have tattoos yourself which becomes available after you have played about 1-2 (ingame) days. That's pretty much all so far. The negatives (so far) are that it seems a little bit too easy, that there are no difficulty settings and that there is a lack of free play/sandbox mode which every tycoon game should always have in my opinion. The game also comes at a higher price than most other tycoon games nowadays. Despite these downsides, I would still recommend the game as the gameplay loop itself has been fun so far. Again, I'm still on the first level/map and the game made it clear that more game mechanics unlock as you play through the story so potentially there is more to come and/or the other maps are a bit more open with less story and more free decisions to make and hopefully a little bit harder.

Симулятор цікавий. Якщо виникало бажання спробувати себе у особі тату-майстра, то це ваш шанс. Не вистачило для глибшого занурення української текстової локалізації.

Ich habe das Spiel jetzt ein paar Stunden gespielt und finde es in Ordnung. Ich hab immer mal nach so einem Tycoon geschaut und bin per Zufall darauf gekommen. In Zukunft sollte man mehr Möglichkeiten haben mehr zu tattoowieren, aber stand jetzt ist es gut. Nur der Preis ist noch seeeehr hoch, da empfehle ich auf einen Rabatt zu warten.

This is one of the better games I have picked up in a long time. The price point is a little high especially for the few bugs I have run into, but it's been nothing game-breaking. The graphics and art are really high quality. The game play is satisfying with the repetitive parts being varied enough to stay entertaining. The customization options are really fun. I think there are some quality of life updates the devs could make that would make this even stronger. I would recommend this game even at the price point of $30. Update - late game starts to get buggier and buggier...

希望可以隨時存檔

很难玩，后续都是一些重复的剧情，非常难玩，还那么贵，差评！！！！

I could not recommend this game more! I have a huge love for tattoos and a huge love for tycoon style games, this game checks all the boxes! There is a ton to do, and the story line attached gives the game length and character. The art style is adorable, the sound track is spot on, and it works perfect on my deck. Price shouldn't steer you away on this one, it is most certainly worth it, however I will say that I was a bit disappointed to see the costs of the DLC's. Perfect game to get cozy with and you get to listen to the hums of tattoo machines!

I like this cute tattoo game, so far a it is fun, price is a bit high that it should be buy it is ok! :-)

I'm really enjoying this game; it has a nice game loop, upgrades, more tattoos / decorations / tattoo parlors to unlock. As for the tattoo mini game, that was a bit more tricky.....if your mouse is on normal / fast DPI, the minigame is going to suck. If you slow down the mouse to a really slow DPI when the minigame starts, it's easier. I also find the controller pretty easy for tattoing as well....just bump down the sensitivity to about 40%. Overall, great game! Looking forward to updates and more content!!

This is a good game. A business game where you also get tattoos. The story is also exciting. The price is a bit high, but the game is quite long = there is plenty of material. I recommend it.
