60 of 155 · most liked firstDisappointing. I keep telling myself - I should have listened to the reviews. The game isn't polished (mistakes in the text / dialogues such as referring to female players as 'he'. There is no control over how you want to arrange or furnish your gaming house. The playstyle is incredibly repetitive. All you do is basically click on 'Analyse opponent', then 'Tactics', then 'Training' until the match prediction goes to 'Easy match' or 'Walk in the park', an if you have some time left over you…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Got the "NPC dropped by and game stops working" bug that everyone else got, and it seems the devs don't give a damn as this issue has been around for a long time. Too bad, as the game was pretty fun up to that point. EDIT: Props to the devs for fixing this. Not changing my thumbs down tho, as it took them months to give a crap.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Buggy... a lot of bugs. I started this game twice, and at some point, everything stuck... I can't interact with visitors, game time stopped and I can't do anything. Total waste of time and money :(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I enjoyed the game overall but then i ran into this bug where the game time stops and is not startable :C
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Click Click click. You Win. That's the game cause at its base, Its a really boring Mobile game that cost $20 (Which if it cost $5 would be more justifiable)
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →At the moment, I cannot recommend this game as it is buggy and I don't mean little bugs here and there, I have this game breaking bug where my game is acting like it's stuck in a paused state and there's absolutely nothing I can do. I have read that it has something to do with visitors but there's absolutely no fix. Perhaps I will change this review if they ever change this bug but at the moment and as a completionist, I cannot recommend it. No.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pros: It's a fun concept, allowing you to create and manage your own esports team. The graphics are colorful and well-designed, making it a visually appealing game. It's a good way to learn about the world of esports and the business side of things. Cons: The gameplay can get repetitive and lacks depth. The AI players and teams can feel unbalanced, leading to unrealistic scenarios. The overall experience is rather monotonous, some people might find it more exciting to watch grass grow than…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very boring game with one of the most brain-dead gameplay loops I've ever experienced. The entire game revolves around doing the same damn 3-4 steps, day in and day out, until an event causes you to swap out a player for their substitute. Then it's back to boring business as usual. Tournament days are just as bad with the most ridiculous way of simulating a MOBA game I've ever seen. After 10 mins of play, you pretty much know what you'll be doing for the next foreseeable future when playing…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great management concepts laid the foundation for a really fun and immersive E-Sports themed tycoon game. Unfortunately, that's about as far as the developers cared to go with this title. The day to day gameplay is a mix of mundane and repetitive tasks that require very little thought whatsoever -- and the actual matches are even less spectacular. I enjoyed it for the first two hours. The rest of the time, I played out of curiosity, but there was nothing else to look forward to.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'd like to say I recommend this game, because the concept is interesting. Considering that if you wind up having an event when "a stranger" enters your home to give you a buff/debuff you wind up unable to do anything else even if you restart the save, however...I can't do so in good conscience. There are quite a few nasty little bugs like these; bugs that break the game and probably should have been fixed before the game's release.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game stops at lvl 77. No end game just stops out of the blue.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →- Heroes doesn't matter - Players Skills doesn't matter - Morale have 0 impact - Relations with team, other teams or sponsors have 0 impact Why adding all those mechanics if none making impact in the game ? at the start of the game its look fun you waiting to discover all those options, but very disappointing. The only thing that matters is : Analyze -> get double tactic -> get training -> REPEAT. This game reminds me clicker mobile games where the only thing you need to do is click,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game breaking bug makes it impossible to progress, and is completely random. Resetting the game does nothing. Not really worth buying an unplayable game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game crashes more than drunk drivers
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Esports Life Tycoon practically resembles a new version of Youtuber's Life with an entirely new concept. Despite the monotonous gameplay, the direction captured within the general storyline and focus reveals a decent experience. If the user did not experience Youtuber's Life, I primarily recommend that game or the sequel prior to Esports Life Tycoon, although this game's uniqueness creates new life to the simulation genre.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would certainly not recommend Esports Life Tycoon. It is a shallow game (in the sense that the world is very small and you are mostly looking at the same screen) and it has a very repetitive gameplay loop. Moreover, a very simple strategy allows you to blindly win every match. It also has a few bugs, but I did not encounter any gamebreaking ones. I spent 16 hours on it, because I tend to fully complete every game I own. It took me 16 hours to go through the campaign, complete the challenges…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wayyy too simple, terrible gameplay and in less than an hour I've done basically everything there is to offer. Other than just repeating the same boring gameplay. Not what you are looking for as a League of Legends/Dota pro sim.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is fun at time but the GAME match lack depth, and it does not do much even if you tweak or adjust it. The timer is ridiculous cant get anything done. The money reward is far too lacking and you cant do anything much. It still enjoyable but need lots of improvement. The idea is good but still need to be execute.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wish i looked at the previous reviews for this game... It's basically a clicking game, where you alternate between analyzing the enemy and improving your team, but they improve on their own, you only wait for them to do it and click back and forth though the things they need to do in a day.... Its closer to an idle game than a tycoon game!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Keeps freezing when a person arrives right before you leave for a match, when you come back time is frozen, you can move your players around to do different things but nothing happens there, and you can't click meet on the person. If they fix this bug it might actually be good
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A halfway enjoyable experience if you're into the idea of Esports. Before each event you'll assess the opponent. Ok that's alright. You'll quickly level up your tactics. Ok fine. You'll level up training. Ok no problem. Any remaining time you have you'll create hype. Makes sense. Do this x17,000 times. There is also a game-breaking bug involving random visitors! At a certain point in your save file, it is likely that you'll get a random visitor at the exact moment an event opens. You can…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love management/simulation games but this one is just too boring. It's extremely repetitive and just not fun at all. It's a shame really, but i definitely regret buying this one.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is decent. The problem is the combat is not very intuitive nor fun. I would give this a 60/100 but it would be 75/100 if the combat was better. Its a decent management sim other than that. I would not recommend this to a friend.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →so boring dont spend your money on that!!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not worth buying at full price. Poorly constructed, poorly balanced, and you either don't understand what you're doing or the entire game is incredibly easy to bulldoze through. Even easier if you save-scum, even easier and faster if you use the auto-complete button. The minigame is fun and all, but a complete waste of time in most cases. I think it would've been more fun/more challenging if the campaign mode had opponents who had stars on any of their units. At least in the pro leagues? But…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great potential, but the developers clearly stopped working on it before the bugs were worked out or they did any balancing at all. Unfortunately, it makes the game almost unplayable.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Super repetitive; you click on training...wait...click on analyse...wait...play match... rinse repeat. Then one of my players gets banned 4 hours before the next game for apparently verbally abusing the opposing team in my last game which was two days ago. Not enough time to hire a replacement so I'm awarded a loss so all that repetition was also a big waste of time
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game just crushed when i got ceo level 61.ty
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No Chicken Dinner. Bad Game!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I usually say to people "I love tycoons, they're my guilty pleasure. I'll even play and enjoy bad ones". Well... I'll still play this one. But It doesn't take me long to start getting bored and drop it. This game has so LITTLE going on that you can engage with. The UI has a ton of redundancy. The most disappointing part has to be the 'active' gameplay of this one, the actual moba match. You only get to play with 3 sliders and 3 buttons, that do next to nothing but slightly change some…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's more interesting to kick a bucket than to play in this game where the only thing you have to do are 4 clicks.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wish I refunded this game, but unfortunately that's no longer possible. There is no real challenge, it's just doing the same thing over, and over again. Review the other team, perform some training / strat planning, if there is still time you can hype up the fans, and then it's match time. After the match, you rinse, and repeat. Pretty much a 3-4 click waiting simulator (from match to match). Definitely not worth the 20 euro pricetag, even for 5 euro I would tell you to think twice before…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Momma told me i could be anything in life so i created the best Esports Team...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really expected more but this game is trash they don't update the game also there are way to many bugs. As of right now now way am i recommending this game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game does not work, I bought the full version and it did not work with me. I think that there are unresolved problems and I do not advise anyone to buy it because there are no fixes to this day.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ALL MY PLAYTIME IS IT SITTING IN THE BACKGROUND I HAVE LIKE ONE HOUR OF GAMEPLAY ALSO I WISH I KNEW HOW TO REFUND WHEN I GOT THIS
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →buyout a jungler with 87 overall and 100 potential ( best player in my team ) in off seasons for 250k bucks, before his 1st game, his gf showed up and take him away, like i lost my best player and spend 250k for nothing, i love this game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dont waste your money.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In Esports Life Tycoon you are a manager of an esport team and you need to manage the team properly, upgrade the infrastructure as best as you can, meanwhile the team won't fall apart. The gameplay for Esports Life Tycoon is interesting at first, but won't give anything new in the career later on. It's only interesting around 30-45 minutes. This is the same amount of time, when the game starts become a grind fest. Also, you can play matches too, but you can only control your team members'…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't let Gabe on your team or else he will get injured before every game and leave with his mom. :(
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →an enraging piece of ♥♥♥♥, so many glitches it makes it hard to enjoy this game. i try very hard to enjoy this game with a friend pretending its a real esports team, but you have to fire and hire all your original players or you cant progress so its kinda pointless to care about them. it is a repetative grind fest, all the cool stuff that is "random" happens so infreqeunt that it cant even be called a mechanic and they have repeated within 8 hours of play multiple times
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →PLS fix this and the game would have been a 10/10 Right now for me its 8/10. because sometimes a person shows up when you are going to play a game or have a meeting with your sponsor and you can't meet the person. I had to create a new team every 4 hours. it's kinda annoying. PLS FIX THIS
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game has great ideas. The gameplay is decent but there's just too many bugs and glitches. I wouldn't recommend the game yet. It keeps on staying on one level until you keep on loading or just creating a totally new game. If only I could get my refund I would immediately get it but I bought it as a pack rather than a standalone game. Just wait until the game has been finished and polished.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As the name suggests you manage a Esports team its pretty good
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very relaxing and easy game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For fans of 'Tycoon' games, this is good. Kinda one pathway through, but new environment and enough differences from similar type games.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →look if you like e sports cool but why dont you just do e sports in real life instead of this?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →very repetive and confusing
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's just... not very fun, honestly? For one thing, the gameplay loop is simultaneously uncomfortably hurried and boringly repetitive. It's a pure time management system where time invested equals one of two stats where you want to be higher than the other team. It's a full price game. Why am I wasting real time staring at a progression bar filling up for 70% of the gameplay? At the same time, it feels frantic and punishing when you stop monitoring the bar from boredom. Then the players.…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →not a good game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Low quality game with not so well thought logic and gameplay. A waste of time and money. Still played for 11 hours because thats how long it takes to stand this game to become a champion, even though the gameplay stays the same since the first 3 minutes.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The details and everything are fine at first, but after a while, it becomes repetitive.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Can i say that this game is just like a cozy kind of game..... It just so simple and easy to play. i have been play this game for almost 30 hours and i enjoy every moment. You just have to manage the economy and the stars of your hero from each player role. Love it, i will give this game score 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I rate this game 26 out of 70.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's actually a great concept for a game, I actually liked it, just wish they improved the game over the years. 6/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →NA finally won a moba WORLDS!
