Blood Bar Tycoon

[h1]Hidden gem in plain sight, like a true vampire.[/h1] When I first hear about this game, I was like "Oh, it's the same concept as MachiaVillain". In MachiaVillain, you trick human into your abandoned house, and collect them for resource like bone, meat, and brain. The game is fun, but a lot of bugs happen like it is unpolished. But Blood Bar Tycoon look a lot of better. It look polished and nice, this time you open the bar for human to collect their blood for your vampire customer who also sit in the same bar, hidden in plain sight! Looking from images and videos on the game page it does still look chunky. I was planning to play some cool down relaxing middle rate game, after playing 400 hours straight on another big name game, I was surprise how addict this game is, and it is running smoother than I thought. I was lucky that after around 40 hours in, when I finish the main story of the game, the Elder update is coming a few days later. So, I decide to shift my plan on c...

Pretty solid game but it doesn't feel very deep. I played for around 5 hours before I started getting bored with the mechanics. If it's ever on sale or if they add more depth it's worth picking up. The only reason I do not recommend is the price seems way too high for the depth.

Super fun, cozy but hectic at times! I love the decoration ascetics for every theme! My favorite is the Disco, 70s, Dark and Tiki. You'd be surprised how well those themes actually work together! :D I am super excited to see what comes out next for this game. I understand that it's a newer release, and in early access so I'm very intrigued to see what else gets added over time. I'd love to see more decorations added to current themes! I am a builder at heart, so the decorations are really cool for the ascetics. The only bug/glitch I have come across is scrolling across the maps on fast speed is super laggy and the game screen will "jump" to the end as you're scrolling. This only happened on the last two maps on the storyline. Restarting has no effect, neither does saving. The other bug I have come across is multiple prisoners loading into one detention cell. At one point there were three people in one cell. Reloading the game doesn't seem to make any difference, but selling the...

I'm writing this review as having finished all the levels on Cozy Mode, maxing out the technology tree, and pretty much unlocking all the decorations (I'm just missing the last one that I think you can obtain at the higher difficulties?). This is a typical tycoon game but with vampires! The best part of the game is having all your vampire guests attack your human guests, causing mass panic! The second best part is creating a human blood factory in the back. It does glitch sometimes, but I find that simply going back to the city view after saving the game, and then re-entering the level pretty much fixes it. As for the minion management, depending on a minion's skill, I narrow down the tasks that they do so I don't have any issues with it. It's only a bit difficult in the beginning because you don't have a lot of minions to work with.

I want to recommend this game, I managed to 100% this game before the last major update, but trying to get the rest of the achievements on the new hardest difficulty has been so frustrating. The bugs are all over, and the AI need so much work it makes it very hard to maintain a high level bar because the employees just...don't do what they need to do. It's kind of like playing the old Sims and the Sims won't do the most basic stuff like go to the bathroom or make themselves food without you micromanaging them. In this game I frequently watch as the AI prioritize all the wrong things, even when I have their priorities set myself. I'm growing so annoyed trying to complete this game this time that I don't know if I'll do it, even though I like a lot of the improvements they made. I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone who wants to challenge themselves, it'll only make you mad. If you want a nice sandbox tycoon game that's a clever premise and offers a lot of customization, then this gam...

boring

Officially 100% the game. It is simple and fun. Not much story. Just building different bar themes. It kind of feels like 2 point or evil genius but easier. :D

It needs plenty more updates. Game functions fine but the balancing on customer types needs more work.

I like the game but just bugs me that like a maximum of like 60 customers total vamp/human can be on the map at any given time makes my large bar feel empty and takes that satisfaction away from you from having a full bar

Not a fan. Not interactive enough. A lot of set it up and watch it go. The vampire feeding is clunky and, at least at the beginning, you want to avoid entirely. Just didn't engage me.
