Hospital Manager

I knew I shouldn't've, but gave this game the benefit of the doubt because Theme Hospital was one of my favourite games of all time and thought this could do alright. It's basically a mobile game adapted to PC - definitely not worth the $3, which sounds a bit harsh, but... there's just no gameplay. Sure, there's a tiny bit of management re: building rooms and elevating mood, but with all the clicking patients to make them happy, etc. it screams mobile. The music is repetitive, the levels are fairly boring. You can't draw your own room boundaries, it's nowhere near complex and yeah. Just not for me. If you like not being challenged, buy it. If you're looking for something like Theme Hospital, turn around and keep walkin'.

It's difficult to give the game a thumbs up or down because it all depends upon what you are looking for in this sort of game I think. If I could give it a neutral rating, I would. But because I expect more out of my Steam games (than mere mobile ports and because seemingly, there is little to no developer attention given to this game any more, I have to give it a negative review). Don't let that dissuade from the game if you just want a quick little casual game to pass the time with however. The game [b]intends[/b] to be a silly, casual, pc port of the not so well received mobile version (the mobile version is riddled with negative ratings due to stability, bug, and lack of developer attention on issues). https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cccp.manager.java&hl=en On with the nitty gritty....

I wish i could give this a great review, i liked the game, when it worked. But it crashes a lot, now i can't even load my current saved game without it crashing every single time. It reminds me so much of Theme Hospital, only not as feature rich and more simplified. I'm not even sure why a debug like window needs to be opened in the background while playing the game, the debug window when the game crashes doens't even really provide any relevant information to help diagnose the crash.

This is not Theme Hospital - not even close. For a sim it is very fast and you never really feel close to your hospital. When it feels like you got it finally running, the mission ends and you start a new one - disappointing.... And each hospital is very small, the places to build rooms predefined, so you can never be creative - you just build each room once, like you should and the biggest impact one the game you have by research and training your team. Also the qualification of the staff when you get them is very different, so you also need a lot of luck - something you dont want in a simulation game. So it never fits in the shoes of Theme Hospital - but at least the diseases are funny like in the original - but that not enough. My suggestion: Wait for a steam sale and buy it for 5 Euro/Dollar - but dont pay more.

Watch my "First Play on Launch Day" Impressions Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yewe4uooalc Reminds me a lot of "Theme Hospital", an older hospital management sim game developed by Bullfrog Productions, but this one sadly doesn't allow you to draw your walls youself. You simply start each level with empty square rooms all the same size already placed, and you choose what room goes into what empty room. This one also consists of much shorter "levels" that get progressively more involved it seems, where as Theme Hospital just let you keep building on the same hospital and expanding it out over time (from what i remember of it) The object of this game is to make money, keep the reputation of the hospital up by satisfying patients quickly, keeping it clean, and providing them services like benches, soda machines, restrooms, etc. You'll hire doctors and spend money learning and advancing your hospitals skills through research. You can also hire janitors and clowns to keep ...

I give this 2/5 stars. Reasons: Two stars for being a fun game, but the gameplay will only last about 4 hours if not less. You complete missions and can earn up to 3 stars on each. (Not very challenging at all). There isn't that many missions to do. I was hoping you'd be able to create your own hospital and see how long you can go with random challenges happening here and there (survivor mode if you would). There unfortunately isn't thus making this game dissapointing. Probably good for kids though. Cheap cost, and you get what you pay for. PS- There's a much older game extremely identical to this one (most likely the predecessor to this) that you are able to do "survivor mode". Theme Hospital<<< get that game instead if you can find it.

I recommend this game only if you like a very simple timewaster that is somewhat amusing. Gets old real fast for me but it's the kind of game you can play when you feel like playing something without getting too involved in what you're doing.

Would it not be easier to just get Theme Hospital on here so we can do away with this scandalously bad copy? It's like someone just took Theme Hospital, stripped away the music, comic announcements from reception, funny videos and amusing ailments and with what was left slapped together a crap-o-rama to stick on here. A terrible game - no flexibility to shape and design rooms, usually not enough rooms in the space they give you to do the level properly, absolutely clinically lacking in comedy or fun. This game belongs in the morgue. Let's band together and send it back there! Stat!

Got this as i thought it would be like the game Theme Hospital where you get to build and manage your own hospital. This game has no free play option, instead it only gives you a series of levels to pass, you have to meet a mostly April 1st deadline - and thats it! You cant unlock and buy the majority of the items as you only get a very limited time frame for each level, so whats the point? Very disappointed. 2/10

This is a badly-done clone of Theme Hospital. It is way less customisable, all missions have tight deadlines and there is not that much possibility for development. I liked the dynamic of training doctors, but not much else.
