Hotel Mogul

Are you ready for another time management and building simulation game? Yup, Hotel Mogul game is out and it’s the closest antidote to your building simulation game cravings! This time you have to help Lynette to gain back her family business which was cheated out by her husband. Show him what you are capable of and bring him down to his knees! (I’m feeling a little of the dark side today, haha!)

If you have been keeping up with most of building simulation games like Build-A-Lot, this game shouldn’t be a problem to you with all the building experience! As usual you will be given a sum of money, materials and workers to start off as you work your way to complete the level goals to advance to the next level. I would say the game is very similar to Build-A-Lot series where you get to buy your materials, develop, upgrade and repair your properties. Since you are allowed to sell your properties, developing and selling strategy works very well in this game.

In Hotel Mogul, you can build hotel, service and commercial types of properties. Hotels are built to host guests and in some levels, the number of guests is one of the level goals in order to complete the level. Building commercial buildings helps to increase the value of surrounding properties and service buildings to give you an edge over game play like Construction Mill which has an Instant Repair feature to help you maintain your buildings. You can buy any property that goes on sale but take note that the sale only last for awhile so do buy it before it goes off.

Every level has a few goals that you have to meet and you can try to beat the time in order to go for the expert score. Although getting the expert score is not a basic requirement to advance the level, you can always replay the levels if you want to keep it perfect.

Overall, I find the game pretty interesting with the different locations, rather nice game play and quite alright. The tutorial was not really detailed enough but well… who needs tutorial if you have lots of building experience! Hahaha! I wouldn’t say it’s easy or challenging as I did have my fair share of replaying of levels but one thing I know for sure is that getting expert score all the way is possible! Thankfully the hidden object mini games are not difficult if not I probably have to keep the game until I have the right mood to continue it!
