Very recently, something big happened in the world of Roblox: It gained the attention of lets players. Early this year major lets players started making ROBLOX videos which are so popular that now if you type 'roblox' into YouTube, the first result you'll get will most likely be a lets play video, while in 2015 the first you'd get would be the official channel. It was only a matter of time though. Lets players love quirky and absurd games and ROBLOX is one of the most unique games out there. However, this new attention has been both a blessing and a curse. Don't get me wrong, it's great that ROBLOX is getting all the attention... it's the specific ROBLOX games the attention is being drawn to that worries me. You see, of all the ROBLOX videos I've noticed when I look up 'roblox' on YouTube: 70% are tycoons 10% are Obbys 10% are 'joke games' 5% are role play arenas... which leaves a mere 5% is left for the rest. About 60% of those facts are fine by me. I don't mind Obbys and the 'joke games' and role play arenas make sense for lets plays... but the amount of videos centered on TYCOONS shock me. They're dull to watch, not fun to play so why that get so heavily featured in these videos is beyond me. I wouldn't mind so much if it wasn't for the fact that ROBLOX is basically a micro simulation of the real life games industry that people can make real money off of. So when an easy way to get attention pops up, people are going to be quick to take advantage of it. We've already seen this in the form of lets player endorsement games. Lets players probably just see these as fan games, but if that's the motivation behind them then why do they include in game purchases? Its obvious these games exist just to make a quick buck off fans of these lets players. I've wanted to make a review of a game a ROBLOX lets player has put on a pedestal it doesn't deserve for a while, so I recently went to the channel behind the top video that came up when I searched 'roblox' and the most recent video was on ROBLOX (and a tycoon). So, despite the fact I don't really like lets plays I clicked on it and listened to what was said about the game. Unsurprisingly they said it was incredible that you should really check it out. So I'm going to review it and say why it doesn't deserve the praise (in another post to prevent this getting too long.) |

Moon Tycoon may say it puts a twist on the standard tycoon formula, but it never lives up due to its admittedly cool ideas never being fully realized so it ends being the same waiting game most ROBLOX players are sick of at this point.
The core concept of being able to conquer various planets is an intriguing one. Halfway through your tycoons development you can purchase a space ship that allows you to go to various planets surrounding the play arena and capture flags while constantly being forced into combat against other players using light sabers and laser guns. The light sabers have a very cool attack animation, as does jumping. But here's the issue: there's no incentive to do so. You gain no extra benefits from conquering planets (which are all flat plains inside gas-like spheres with next to no decoration). Combat's horribly unbalanced too. Guns are infinitely more powerful than swords since there's no cover on the plants for people to hide behind. But you gain guns by almost completing your tycoon, so players who have been playing for longer are given much more power, meaning that it's impossible for a newbie to hold down a planet for long. That's without mentioning the fact that the ships control terribly,, especially when landing. And if your ship falls off the planet there's no way to get a new one. This means if someone rams your ship off the planet, you have to jump off and re-spawn. So outside of these mechanics it's just your average tycoon, with nothing more to offer.
Pros: Cool concept Smooth animation Cons: Unbalanced Main gameplay lacks incentive Bland tycoon |

Did you know the Moon's gravity is less compared to Earth's gravity?

"most ROBLOX players are sick of at this point."
Most ROBLOX players actually can not get bored of tycoons because of the kilolitres of dopamine they release. Why? Little intelligence, I guess. |
