An economic strategy game developed by Dapper Penguin Studios, in which the players assume the role of a beginning businessperson. Rise of Industry allows us to manage a company specializing in logistics, industry, farming, and mining; nonetheless, there is nothing standing in our way to combine those fields. The game takes place across procedurally generated maps offering diversified challenges.
Rise of Industry is an economy strategy game developed by Dapper Penguin Studios and published by Kasedo Games on PC.
Rise of Industry for PC allows players to become a fledgling businessman. It is up to the players to decide whether their enterprise is going to be based on logistics, industry, farming, mining, or a combination of all of these fields. The latter option requires us to gather enough financial resources and learn all the secrets of the market.
In the PC release of Rise of Industry, players observe the action from the top-down perspective. The game takes place across vast maps. The primary gameplay elements involve erecting buildings and starting transportation tracks – the resources one gathers have to be transported (by boats, train, trucks, etc.) to the plants manufacturing diverse goods. The ready products (there are over 100 different products one can manufacture in the game) have to be transported to the stores.
Since particular territories are procedurally generated, each one offers different challenges – this regards not only different resources available but also the necessity to dig tunnels in the hills or building bridges over rivers. It is crucial to erect buildings in such places to use the full potential of a given biome. This is not the end, however, as the competition is always hot on players’ heels – this can be used to one’s advantage by entering partnerships from which several companies can profit (nonetheless, this requires players to possess good PR and marketing skills). A key to success lies also in the flexibility, as the market is very volatile – one has to take care of the environment (which is a must should you want to stay in good relations with neighboring metropolises) and facing random, often tragic, events.
In Rise of Industry for PC, players can test their skills in the sandbox mode or face challenges offered by different scenarios. After its premiere, the game received a patch that now allows players to enjoy the multiplayer mode.
Rise of Industry for PC is bound to catch the players’ attention with its original albeit simple visuals. Even though the entire experience might seem poor in of the details, players will soon notice certain subtle details (such as fish swimming in rivers and lakes or the different types of cargos transported by e.g. trucks). These details often make it easier for players to keep up with the situation in the in-game world and the possibilities offered by a given territory.

Game Ratings for Rise of Industry Video Game.
The Digital Fix: 8 / 10 by Jonny Foster
Rise of Industry goes out of its way to provide you with options. From its custom difficulties to the extensive research trees, there an enormous amount of replay value. With so many plates spinning simultaneously, it's inevitable that one or two come crashing down, but no one said building an empire would be easy.
Screen Rant: 2.5 / 5 by Phillip Tinner
Rise of Industry? is a mixture of addictive fun and irritating mundanity.
SA Gamer: 7 / 10 by Abigail Holden
Rise of Industry is a complex production/logistics management sim with a wide variety of options and difficulty settings. It's got a rather steep learning curve, however, and needs a fair amount of micromanagement to keep things running smoothly. If you're looking for a management game with some depth and complexity, Rise of Industry is worth a look.
