Pro Great depth of beer brewery gameplay that yields quite a lot to explore
There are a huge selection of recipes for beers, that need the correct amounts of specific ingredients that can be made with the correct equipment by the correct staff and sold to the market that demands it. Make a mistake in balancing any of these points and suffer the consequences.
Pro Variety of gameplay elements keeps the player engaged
To break up the monotony of constant stale management of business there are challenges and events that happen, usually in the form of a goal that you have to reach in order to get a reward, that you can take on or ignore. Additionally, you can exercise your fingers by trying to catch mice that run around your brewery, these mice will give you money and recipe scraps.
Cons
Con Intrusive ads and offers
Even in the premium version, you'll receive pop-ups offering a few points of Prestige (premium currency) in exchange for watching a video advertisement.
Con Supply chain construction can become tedious in scenarios
Townsmen's complex resource management is not too burdensome while casually building a sandbox city. Once you've done it once or twice, it's frustrating to wait through dozens of build timers just to get access to the raw materials needed for a scenario's first goal.
Con Can get dull
Fiz tends to be a slow game, which means it can lead to loss of interest while playing.
Con Not a lot of variety in visuals or music
The 2D sprite graphics are a little generic, just as the music. This can get tiring after a while as little of the aesthetics of the game change as you progress.
Con Weak - Game dev tycoon like game
Content of the game is poor. It consists of setting up a brew of a special beer and sell it at a place for that beer. There are a few~3-4 upgrades for 4 parts of your brewery and you can recruit employees. Buy a new recipe for beer and restart the brew. I love the genre - but this title is without love and without content. Instead get GameDevTycoon, Graveyard Keeper or Potato weaponshop for example.
