It leaves a lot to be desired...
The Good
Rise of Industry puts players in charge of building and managing their own industrial empire. The game is set in the early 20th century and features a complex supply chain system that allows players to produce and distribute a variety of goods. The gameplay is centered around managing resources, researching new technologies, and building factories and transportation networks.
The Bad
It had the potential to be an engaging and entertaining experience, but unfortunately, the execution of the game left a lot to be desired. Although the premise was promising, the gameplay was lacking in variation and depth, quickly becoming repetitive and tedious. Additionally, while the graphics initially looked interesting and unique, but it did not take long for it to become tiresome and dull, failing to capture the imagination or stimulate the senses. The overall result was a game that failed to meet the expectations or to deliver an enjoyable gaming experience.
The Bottom Line
While it may hold some appeal to die-hard fans of the genre, I cannot recommend Rise of Industry to a wider audience. There are simply too many other games out there that offer a more immersive and engaging experience.
