Let me give you some background first. I am a hard-working office worker. I commute on the subway for an hour and a half every day. During my lunch break, I have to hide from my boss and secretly check my phone. Recently I discovered an idle management game called "Survival Geometry", which is tailor-made for people like us who don't have time to play!
The background of the game is set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland where zombies are rampant. You are the manager of a shelter weapons store, selling equipment to various survivors. The gameplay is to recruit craftsmen, make weapons, collect resources, and buy and sell. It seems that there are many elements, but in fact it is very simple to get started and it is very time-consuming.
The best part is that this game is perfectly adapted to fragmented time! Spend two or three minutes on the subway to collect a wave of resources, hang up new orders, then lock the screen and put it in your bag, and then open it when you transfer to the next train to collect another wave. You don't have to stare at the screen the whole time, and you won't be in a hurry when you suddenly arrive at the stop. You can even order some while cooking during your lunch break, making it easy to complete your daily routine.
And it's free with no in-app purchases! I played for a week without spending a penny, and I was still able to save high-level equipment blueprints. Although the craftsmen work slowly in the early stage, they slowly save resources to upgrade the shop, and seeing the shelves filled with gleaming firearms and armor, I really feel like a doomsday merchant's sense of accomplishment. Sometimes there will be a few weird customers, a survivor wearing sunglasses bargaining, or a heavily armed mercenary buying up the warehouse in one go, which is quite interesting.
The disadvantage is that you often have to wait two or three hours for later upgrades, which is not very friendly to impatient people. But to be honest, this can be regarded as a disguised form of helping me get rid of the bad habit of checking my phone at work - after all, after ordering, I have no more fun, I can only work obediently😂
In short, if you are also looking for a management mobile game that is easy to play and can be picked up and played for two minutes at any time, this is it! Anyway, I rely on it to survive the desperate moments of crowds during morning rush hours when I commute every day.
By the way, the theme song of this game is quite exciting. It has a wasteland electronic music style, with explosion and zombie sound effects. Playing with headphones makes you feel more immersed. I highly recommend giving it a try~
