Following the ‘huzzah industrialism!’ tycoonery of Rise Of Industry, builders Dapper Penguin Studios are actually displaying the less-than-cheery long-term penalties of that in its first enlargement pack. Rise Of Industry: 2130 ventures right into a future the place civilisation has partially collapsed in an enormous soiled cloud. But… maybe trade can rise once more, scavenging metropolis ruins for assets and possibly, simply possibly, being a bit of extra environmentally-conscious as we rebuild. Perhaps we’ll but keep away from a Rise Of Industry: 2330 the place industrious ghouls should optimise corpse extraction.
Rise Of Industry: 2130 can have us as soon as once more construct and increase an industrial empire, although with extra ‘picking through ruins for materials’, floating algae farms, and nuclear energy cells. Pollution will once more be a consideration to handle, and I’d hope it’s an issue to take extra severely when the world’s engulfed in smog. This nonetheless an trade tycoon game, thoughts, and we nonetheless are mass-producing shopper items for revenue. Oh god. We’re going to do it another time, aren’t we. Oh god.
Our Nate discovered the unique game’s strategy to industrialisation a bit of too chipper, saying in his Rise Of Industry review that “in the present day, with an increasing number of people feeling angry and horrified at the world being held to ransom by the ambition of tycoons, it seems an odd thing to celebrate with so little nuance.” Now take a look at the mess you made, Nate. You and your factories. You did this. You protested, however that is on you, pal.
Rise Of Industry: 2130 is out immediately on Steam and GOG for £7/€10/$10.
