Farm Manager World

Farm Manager World is a farming economic strategy and part of a series originating from 2018. Like previous installments, it was developed by the Polish studio Cleversan Games.

Mechanics

Farm Manager World makes use of the top-down perspective. The game starts on a relatively small farm in Europe, Central America or Asia. Our goal is to expand that farm into an agricultural empire. We must, therefore, cultivate the land, harvest crops, raise animals, produce goods and sell them for a profit; money earned must be invested into developing our business.

Though it may sound easy at first, things get complicated very quickly. Different plant species require different soil; to let them grow, we must conduct soil tests on our fields and use fertilizers if necessary to increase its class, pH and nitrogen level. Crop rotation is also important, as cultivating the same kind of crop all year long will quickly exhaust the soil. Raised livestock requires constant care, food and treatment if necessary.

We can spend money on expanding the farm (building hangars, warehouses, factories or other useful structures), purchasing new machines, repairing owned machines and hiring workers, each of whom specializes at different things (we must take their skills into account when assigning them with tasks). Players must also monitor their resources (such as fuel) and the situation on the market; knowing the prices is required to make a profit on goods.

Game modes

Farm Manager World supports singleplayer and online co-op.

Technical aspects

Farm Manager World features decent, colorful graphics. Visually, it doesn't deviate too much from most economic strategies.
