Idle Office Tycoon Money game Reviews

For starters this game is clearly a cash grab. Constantly trying to convince you to spend more real money. I bought the no ads perk because I thought it would make the game better and to an extent it did but what they mean is you don’t need to watch video ads. That’s it. They’re still going to cram THEIR ads down your throat every chance they get, sometimes having to exit out of multiple windows to get to playing the game. On top of that there’s a little cell phone in the game and character will txt you on it but there’s one contact that keeps popping up with a message that says “click here to claim” but, surprise, it’s another ad that keeps coming no matter what. Literally just takes you to the “store” where you can spend real money. The “lucky wheel” is anything but. After weeks of consistent playing I can confidently say you do NOT get the rare rewards they are merely there to tease you until you spin 30 times and get the guaranteed rare. Over all unless you’re prepared to be mildly disappointed at best every time you play this game I would just find something better.

The game has some glitches and the developers either don’t care about support for the game or there is no support for the game. Build a warehouse, make batteries. Earn building permits. Build advanced warehouse, purchase orders are now for higher level items. Items that you can’t make cus your ware house is not upgraded to level 5. Reject purchase order, 10 minute timer, next purchase order is the same order. Purchase order is for PCs and motherboards. But I can’t fill it because i can’t make the parts to make a PC or a motherboard. Reject order and it’s the same order for PCs or Motherboards that I can’t make. Reject and it’s the same thing over and over and over. Major design flaw in the game. The fill orders at the warehouse shouldn’t be for items that are locked and you can’t make. And there’s no option to spend real money to acquire a building permit to level up the warehouse so you can make those items. So I cannot advance the game. This is dumb. I’ve emailed the developers, and it’s been over a week and haven’t even received a response or an acknowledgement for the support request. Don’t waste your time.

Edit: just got a response saying “you can keep rejecting orders until you can finish them to get permits to upgrade workshop”. They do g understand that I’ve been doing that and the new orders never change and are the same. Won’t give me any different orders and can’t advance. It’s a glitch and they won’t help cus they don’t understand.

First had a glitch where they introduced logging in with Apple or Facebook which made me lose all my progress including purchases. Since then, I never bothered spending another dime just to be safe. Well sure enough, the most recent update is unplayable to upgrade companies or renew contracts. The devs for this game break everything every update and it’s a joke. The support team is non-responsive and just say “it was fixed in the update” when it was not. Don’t bother wasting your time on this game. And to top it off, it’s a foreign company that clearly has anti-America propaganda in the game (thinly disguised as “Amelica”) saying it is the “evil empire”, when the reality is it’s the company who are the evil ones for charging $16 for no ads and making a pay to play game that never works. Watch them respond and say “I’m missing the point of the story” because I’ve seen that in reviews anytime they see someone comment about the clear anti-America messaging. And don’t trust all the 5 star reviews. They’re fake. Look at all the recent reviews and every time something breaks they cover it up with a ton of 5 star reviews.

And if the bugs cause your game to need to be reset, these developers offer no restore purchases or refund option. You will lose your money.

I started this game saving locally, then started saving in the cloud because I hoped that would reduce the number of frustrating bugs - a big mistake. The two saves are separate and I continued to have many bugs, so after I followed the recommendation to reinstall IdleOfficeTycoonMoneygame and then loaded the cloud game, my local saves were not there. Without the early game info, like people I had talked to, I couldn’t make progress. In desperation, I reset my game. There is a poorly worded warning that when you reset, items you purchase will no longer be there — I assumed these meant in-game items like cars and pets. But I had purchased the very expensive No Ads. Most other developers offer an option to restore No Ads, but this developer does not. And they refuse to give refunds.

But if you can deal with the ads and having Mr. Sponsor stop showing up, and have the same tutorial play non-stop, and money randomly stop being added to your income, you might like this game.

I have been a fan of Idle games for some time now. I started with the Idle Mining game, which is an amazing game. However, playing this specific game (IdleOffice Tycoon), can be frustrating. It consistently crashes on me. I didn’t get 4 of my “triple rewards” after watching an add (which added up to be around 400K), and the load times aren’t favorable. This game has a great concept and has good potential. But I have not had the greatest experience with this game so far. To be honest I am on the verge of deleting IdleOfficeTycoonMoneygame /game. I don’t want to, but if I can’t be entertained by a game that is made by companies known to drain your bank account just to progress after a certain point, then why would I waste my time and money on this. Especially if it continuously crashes on me, and doesn’t give me my rewards, but gladly takes my hard earned money. Idle mining costs money after a certain point, Idle Mafia…ESPECIALLY IDKE MAFIA, is a money drainer. I can’t afford a third game to come along and not work properly. The rating I give will stand until further notice or until I get a better experience out of it.

Thanks.

I’ve been playing this game for a long time now and I used to really enjoy logging in every so often, feeding my pets, and upgrading my offices. Perhaps I’ve been playing too long and have upgraded past the point where it’s any fun because I’m in the last office in the UK and there’s not enough equipment to purchase in the power room to make things run efficiently. My power room is 100% upgraded and it’s completely maxed out despite the fact that my office is only 75% of the way complete. Super dumb mechanic…

Also, I feel like this is a recent thing but lately I haven’t been getting the diamond rewards for completing daily quests unless I complete the action by navigating through the quest screen. For instance, if i feed my pet without clicking on the “go” button next to the quest line, I won’t get rewarded. Same thing goes for making purchases in the store. I’m probably missing out on a nice little chunk of diamonds and it’s just another disappointment.

This game has potential and IS fun to play, but any game that punishes its players for being fully upgraded is not a game that’s been well-thought out.

So far I enjoy this game. It is pretty clear and consider when giving directions on how to navigate the game. However, I do have a few issues. There is a few grammar mistakes in text which I can overlook. What I can’t overlook is how despite having picked the female character to play as, every dialogue option calls my character sir. If I choose to play as the female character the dialogue should change as well to feminine words. Also, there are three characters to play from, two of which are male and one female. There should be the same amount of character options for men and women, and there should also be skin color options. All three character choices are white, and all employees that arrive are white. Please add either customization for that or pre made characters with other skin colors, and equal amounts of male and female options. Then, allow a change in the dialogue so my female character isn’t being called sir or man. Another actual game improvement that is needed is away time. When you are off IdleOfficeTycoonMoneygame you aren’t making any money.

I love the game, it’s a lot of fun. I had an apple gift card and decided to go ahead and purchase some of the permanent upgrades. I should be able to be off the game up to a total of 22h and still be making money. However, this is clearly NOT happening. I am up to 141,337 being made every 30 seconds. That means I should be making 282,674 every minute which translates to 16,960,440 every hour. Now idk exactly how much of that time is night time when they aren’t working, and so guess the game stops making money at night (which doesn’t make much sense) but for 6 hours of sleeping. Assuming 3 of those hours it was actively making money, I should have made 50,881,320 before claiming triple (which I always do) which would mean I should have made 152,643,960 bare minimum. Instead I went to bed with a balance of earned money of some 59,000,000 million and after making my triple claim only had 97,000,000 some million. Not to mention if the game kept making money while the business was in night mode (which most companies continue making money over night depending on their services) I should have had 305,287,920. Why did J pay money to be able to be off game for long hours, just to not get the amount I should be making while I sleep? This is not acceptable.

I’m trying not to delete the game as I have came so far and actually spent a little money on this game. So while I was in the second office building my maintenance room stopped upgrading the rep star even tho I’m not maxed out on the furniture. NOW I just decided to move to the last office building and I have a company to upgrade but it won’t let me click the upgrade the arrow!!! This is so frustrating it’s very annoying that this is happening. I’ve already emailed the game about maintenance a while ago, never got a response so now I’m here making a review about my now, second issue. Why can’t I tap on the arrow and why is my maintenance room not counting up anymore? I would like to fully upgrade so I can collect my rep start and money back for upgrading the company. Other than these VERY BIG ISSUES I really enjoy the game. I might be done playing tho if I’m not able to accept this upgrade. Also could you guys put “upgrade” on the business card like how you guys have “upgrade” by the pets progress bar? That way it could’ve been an alternative to try to collect my rep. Update: the problem is fixed regarding my updating of the company. The maintenance room still isn’t upgrading my rep

So, for an idle clicker game it’s mechanics and story is on par with others. There’s even a few moments where I laughed because of the political jabs taken (a wink to the developers on that). The problems are as follows: 1) You lose one star for the glitches; Maintenance men not responding to issues, even fully upgraded and with maxed out tools, desks and cabinets. 2) The other star is lost because you are trying to sell pet food for astronomical prices. I don’t mind spending a few bucks here and there, and even recommend people buy the package with “wolf of Wall Street, the additional assistant, AND no advertising” That is a nice deal. The prices of the rest of the offers are fine, but you ask 25 diamonds for 1 pet food!? That’s absolute trash, and a cash grab that seems inappropriate as it will eventually make the poor animals starve! I recommend selling the pet food for either 1 diamond for regular, 5 diamond for second tier, and 10 diamond for top tier food. Alternatively, I suggest a “pet food package” that has maybe 10 regular pet food, 2 of the snacks, and 1 of the top tier pet food for 2.99$ U.S. This is a repeat purchase, and you will make more money on it, like selling the piggy bank (im sure that is a top purchase)
Do these things; fix the glitches with the workers, and boss; fix the pet food crisis, and I will come back and edit this to a 5 star review with a revised title.

***Edit*** No! The latest update didn’t resolve this, it still comes back with the same order

I do enjoy this game but have run into two issues. Seems others have a similar issue. The electronics factory. I have maxed out the entire factory but the orders are getting frustrating. You have the feature to reject orders but all that does is reset the timer and bring back the same order in 10 minutes which is absolutely pointless. There are some items I don’t want to sell because I’m trying to build them up or some I don’t have enough of them to sell. Either way I should be able to reject an order and it comes back in 10 minutes with a different, instead it’s the same one. Perhaps the developers misunderstand this concept. There is no point in rejecting the order if it just comes back in 10 minutes. The second issue I have is there is zero support with this game. I’ve emailed on 4 different occasions for different things and have never received a response. I would give this game a 5 if they can fix the factory order issue.

Makes for easy time wasting.

I have a couple of patches suggestions for the developers. 1) I swear it wasn’t like this in the first building or 2 but after you move into the 3rd building the office gets really dark during the outside in-game “night time”. I feel like in the first 2 offices, the office stayed lit when the “outside” got dark. I’m at liberty state now, so I’ve gotten used to it by this point, but it does make it difficult to see during the in-game “nighttime”. 2) During the Easer Island special gameplay, could we add another 48hrs to it. I’ve played it twice now with only enough time to get to the first of Level A rewards (and opening a stone refinery), need just a little bit more time to get further in that side adventure. 3) Really wish the painting were less expensive especially since the SSS companies need like a lv 5 so I’d need to spend over 1000 diamonds just to satisfy their rental requirements. 4) At my stage of the game, none of the characters seem to be using the amount of bathrooms, lounges, meeting rooms, and especially not the game room or the gym. So it feels like these were all wasted money. I think we should be seeing more characters use the amenities the game makes us acquire.

Thank you.

I’ve enjoyed this game in the time that I’ve had it. While it’s great for killing time, I ended up purchasing the ad removal package that came with the Wolf of Wall Street. That sped up gameplay quite a bit, as I could bypass all the ads. A huge downside for me is I’ve maxed out everything, and it seems there’s only three buildings and suburbs to unlock. I would love to see a game expansion that would allow me to further upgrade. New companies would be a great addition, as I’ve maxed out most of the companies already. I can’t collect any more cash as my bank account has a maximum limit on it; I wonder if getting rid of the cap would help with game play. I’ve already bought all the buildings and maxed them out, I have three of the same most expensive car, and I have two more levels on the warehouse left to max out in the industry park. It has lost its luster since I can’t progress any further into a timeline. I also picked the female character; text messages and dialogue proceed to call them “sir” still, and the mom keeps asking about a girlfriend. I think adding a layer of being able to go on dates, to actually use the houses you purchase, etc. would make this a more interactive simulator.

Like a few other reviews have mentioned, the progression in this game is really slow. I’ve been playing for like 2 hours and the only thing I’ve accomplished was upgrading the important things in the office that the staff wanted. Everything after just seems pointless. At least tell me the recommended upgrades so I don’t upgrade something that just ends up being a waste or that’s not important at the moment. I would literally have to sit there for hours to gain enough money to move to the next location. No matter how much you upgrade it takes probably 15-20 seconds for money to come in. So after upgrading something you just sit there like an idiot with nothing to do patiently waiting to get paid. I’m assuming that’s why they have the guy pop up every minute or so and if you watch an ad you get a decent amount of money but like other games, when you upgrade it should improve speed as well not just the amount of money you get. Not sure if is available later on in the game but it’s already taking forever to get to that point.

This game is super entertaining and borderline addictive. It’s better than most Idle games in the sense that you don’t have to wait hours or days to make progress. The more often you play, the da faster the game moves. While it’s pricy, the no video ads option makes the game far far better. However, it is frustrating that after paying that amount, there are still sooo many bugs (not that paying gets rid of bugs, but if you charge people ~$15, I’d hope your app development would be better). The engineers almost never do what they’re supposed to (automatically fix power outages). At random times, half the screen will turn into a glitchy mess. Certain sounds still play even when you turn the sound off in IdleOfficeTycoonMoneygame . The gathering of money is also inconsistent in relation to real world time. There are a few other minor bugs too. Overall it’s a great game but it just seems like the development and updates are slow and don’t tend to address the bigger issues.

Takes a bit of time to get the hang of, surprisingly. You have to be smart where you put your money. I didn’t pay for no permanent ads at first, but once I did the games was WAAY easier. It’s a good game to play while you’re doing something else. Sometimes I’ll open it, claim triple money and do a good bit on it while waiting in a GTA lobby or when I’m taking a break from my work. I actually reset my account once I figured out that just bc you have unlocked a new office, doesn’t mean you should move ASAP. A tip I have is spend time fully upgrading your conference room. And your offices. Everything gets moved once you move. Also unlock and invest in your warehouse. When idle it brings in millions at a time, more then your tenants. And electricity is a pain, rn, so im currently trying to upgrade my rank on the Forbes list to purchase a power plant so it’s not a problem. This game will take a long time to beat. Trust me, save it to your social media link. You’ll be a member of this for a while, and that’s okay. 🧐it’s surprisingly good game. And I think they fixed the bugs. I haven’t experienced any yet.

I’ve made it to Liberty City with no issues. Now game will close down after I watch a video and get no rewards. Game will shut down in the middle of upgrading. Will be upgrading desk or something and next thing you know I’m on main screen. Can’t stay on game much longer than 2 minutes if I’m lucky. Otherwise would give fame a higher rating. Update… developer contacted me and suggested I reinstall the game. I uninstalled the game and reinstalled the game. Game still kicking me out while watching videos or just trying upgrade. Seems like game kicks me out even faster now. Would like to improve rating since developers contacted me but still having same issue. I’m changing to a 5 star because game is working properly. Takes awhile to grow but is still fun and good way to kill time.

I'm the type of person to just play mindless fun games but this one had meaning. It kinda felt like playing a mini rpg in my hand. The game has a lot of potiental to go far if the creator considered expanding some of the opportunities on the islands, expanding the islands in general. When you get to level 300 it's just half an island with a car dealership, not much to gain you power or XP or extra cash. Also I feel like the game looses a lot of chapter potential by making its customers buy the assistants and offline assistants as well as the pets that they offer in their shop. These are characters with wasted potiental that could keep the consumer invested. Unlocking different levels, finding a new assistant or employee, getting their lore and then the benefits of the work you put in. It's like now I'm level 300 and only check it morning and night to slowly build XP to level 500. There's nothing else for me to do now but wait because I'm not about to continuously pay 1,000 gems for XP or cash.

I’ve had so much fun playing this game. Thank you developers for continuing to provide updates! Love the challenges related to growing the offices, learning how to level up companies, mood, EXP, rental income, managing power. Minimizing maintenance time and nighttime. The electronics foundry adds a whole new dynamic that was fun to figure out. There are so many little details to figure out. It actually took longer than it should have to discover parking spaces and setting my active car (but so happy when I figured that out)! I love watching the people move around the office (the dancing in the game room is so funny). The interactions on WeChat can be quirky at times, but once you get used to it it’s funny (not political). My only complaint is sky tower in the aerospace zone doesn’t seem as polished as the other office buildings. The behavior of the employees are off after a while - they don’t go to the break room, game room, gym, or the meeting room, and maintenance doesn’t do their job. I have to force close/open to reset the behavior back to normal. But overall an awesome game.

I have been playing this for a few months and feel confident enough to write a comprehensive review. This is a well thought out game and I love the attention to detail. There is one glaring issue however, and that’s the fact you don’t have an option to pet your animals. I did not get lucky pulling a cat that looks like mine just to only be able to feed it. But that’s the only big issue in my mind.
Minor issues:
One thing I still haven’t figured out is how to max out the SSS companies. I don’t have the money for the gems (we will get there) for the paintings and that counts as a company being unhappy. That feels unfair because if you don’t pay money you don’t get to fully get your upgrades and progress.
I wish to buy pet food with money, not just gems.
Speaking of gems, I bought the growth pass (would highly recommend) and it taps out at level 540??? I’m 805 at this point and would like what I’m owed.
I ran out of storyline as well. Very sad.
The messages glitch all the time and I’m tired of talking to mom about dancing in the square.

Good things:
I love the diversification of industry you can participate in.
It is very user friendly.
The story is fun and is a nice addition.
It’s not overly complex or simple like other idle games.
I like how you don’t have to watch ads, but they do help. I play with a vpn so I honestly don’t know if there are forced ads.

Overall, this is a good idle game that I would recommend to most people!
