DQ Tycoon is a very original time management/tycoon game. In the game you have to help Emily to run a dairy store. Will she climb the ranks to become the most prominent business manager in town ? It’s up to you to manage his shop, and eventually hire more staff to expand his business and open new stores around the globe.

Similarly to Chocolatier reviewed last week, this game has several minigames, all in one, that contribute to improve the overall game longevity. Indeed, for example in between levels you can shop for upgrades like faster machines, play a cake-decorating mini-game to restock the fridge.  Another difference with previous time management games, is that even if a new shop gets added every week in the game, you still have to run the older ones!

Overall isn’t a bad game, even if it doesn’t particularly excel in the time management panorama.

Chocolatier 1 & 2 are two great strategy games that focus around the “chocolate empire”.

You have to travel around the globe to find the best recipes and ingredients to create the best chocolate products! The game is built into several minigames that create a very good mix of various gameplay styles.

There’s also a trading game, where you have to travel to find the best prices for the ingredients, and also a strategy element because you’ll have to build new factories to raise your production output to become the best chocolatier of the world.

It’s definitely an interesting game into the casual market, different from the other time management games seen before.
