Energy Manager - 2024 4+

Great for passing time!

I’ve played other games by this dev like AM4 and I’m really pleased with this one. Of course, it’s still relatively new and not all the features are implemented yet but, it’s still good fun to mess with when I’m bored. There are some strange bugs and quirks in game, but as mentioned before I believe the Dev’s will be solving them soon. As far as my criticisms go, for those players who want to maybe invest more time into the game, it is rather frustrating. The points system is a little broken at the moment so unlocking some of the cooler features is very hard. Be warned the variety of plants and how many you can build is also very limited at the moment. However, all in all, I’m very pleased with this game and where it can go! Give it a try!

Great game - needs update

Awesome game first off. I am not one to spend money on games but already spent $30 on this. I would like to see the other plants released as well as being able to edit the alliance features more. Such as the member fee or being able to donate to alliance funds. There are many plants that say coming soon, but when? Just curious. Plan on spending more money when more improvements are done. But you’ve made a great game!

Keep up the good work and will update this review as time goes on.

Good, but could be better

All or at least most of the art in the game is very obviously AI generated.

The user interface could use a bit of work too. For example, you can buy storage units directly from the units shop page but production units require you to press details first. Showing Coming Soon items in the store doesn’t make sense either, all that does is clog up the interface. The units are also very difficult to click when they are close together. I have a wind turbine near an oil plant and I can’t click the oil plant unless I zoom in.

It also doesn’t make much sense that you have to store the power before selling it. Why can’t you set a unit to sell directly to the grid. It would also make sense for units to automatically reactivate when it’s storage source finishes discharging or switch to selling direct to the grid when storage is full. In order to make the most money you would want to charge your storage when power is cheap and sell when high and manage fossil fuels carefully meaning that there is still gameplay and planning, but it would also mean that if you wanted to be lazy, you could still do stuff.

It would also make sense to charge more building fees the farther away your production is from your storage.
