Tycoon games are popular on Roblox, and each offers a different playing experience. Tycoons consist of the player owning a base and starting with a free “dropper,” generating cash. The player gradually gains more money, and in return, the player spends that money on upgrades to expand the tycoon. Each tycoon has a unique theme, but the objective is the same: start small and slowly build up to a larger base.
One example is Restaurant Tycoon by Ultraw. This tycoon is not the best, yet it is a classic. I think this tycoon takes too much time since it is not your typical tycoon. Instead of the simple save and buy, you go through multiple days in the game to unlock new items, making it time-consuming for a small reward. You have to put down the furniture yourself, this includes the kitchen, tables, and almost everything else. I could not play for more than 30 minutes without getting bored. It felt more like a simulator rather than a tycoon. I could not finish this game as I got bored immediately. However, back then, I would say it was a lot more enjoyable compared to now. Many of the updates they added got rid of the original experience that many people loved.
“I enjoyed the Restaurant and Mansion Tycoons. Both of them are extremely fun, and I like the feeling [in Restaurant Tycoon] that I own a ‘popular’ restaurant,” said freshman TJ Ighalo.
Up next is Two-Player Wizard Tycoon by TheFermiParadox. This one is pretty fun, but only if you play it with a friend. It makes sense, as the game is made for two players, but I definitely wouldn’t recommend playing it alone. A lot of the time, players will attack newer players for little reason, making it a bit less enjoyable. However, the layout of the tycoon is great, and it gets more fun as you progress.
“I love the Two-Player Wizard Tycoon! As it says in the title, it’s a 2 player tycoon, so you can play with your friend. The Wizard Tycoon is a CLASSIC Roblox game, and I don’t know anyone who plays Roblox who hasn’t played this game,” said sophomore John Diwa.
Now we have Hospital Tycoon by Tycoon Empire Studios. I found this tycoon to be a lot of fun. It is beginner-friendly, and the hospital itself is very aesthetically pleasing. There are so many upgrades and plenty of things to keep you from getting bored with the game.
Next, we have Mall Tycoon by Grandma’s Favourite Games. This was one of my favorites. It does not have an end to it like other tycoons, and instead, you can rebirth and gain additional rewards from it. The main objective of this game is to buy stores inside your mall. Instead of the game choosing the stores for you, you choose the stores yourself. These stores have rarities, with the higher ones giving you more money. I believe it is one of the best tycoons on the platform. The variety of shops you can buy from is amazing, and the dialogue from NPCs helps players stay engaged.
Last but not least, we have Mansion Tycoon by Capybara’s Productions. There are many mansion tycoons out there, but I found this one to be the most enjoyable. Like Hospital Tycoon, it is also beginner-friendly. In my opinion, the mansion is incredibly spacious and looks beautiful.
Overall, tycoons provide an enjoyable playing experience for players, whether experienced or brand new to the game. With each of them having so much to offer, players are open to various experiences to play.
