And so, after lemonade business, sim cities, theme park, hospital, and even cruise ship tycoon games, the tycoon game series have come to the fairy-godmother-creating-sensation. Believe me, the first time I came across this game at Yahoo! games, I was like, “WTF?!?! Now we create fairy godmothers too?!”
Actually, the title of the game is a bit misleading. In this game, you don’t create fairy godmothers. Instead, you try to resuscitate Fairy Godmother’s dying Potions Empire due to lots of competitors trying to boot her out of the business. Maybe it should have been named Professor Snape’s Potions Tycoon game.
It’s the usual tycoon game: you apply the laws of supply and demand and try to balance all factors to attain the goals of each level, like earning this certain amount of net worth or booting out a competitor.
At first, I was a bit hesitant to try this game. It sounded so girly. But while that I’m only looking for a light PC game which will not demand too much of my time (or my money), I decided to give it a try. No harm in having a go at it since it has a free trial version which has all the features of the game but you could only play it for one hour.
So, here we go:
By the way, all the screen captures of the game are taken from a level that I’ve just finished. I wasn’t able to take screen captures of the tutorial anyway.
So, at the menu, it’s a choice between the Classic Game and the Happy Ever After Game. If using it for the first time, you have to start the Classic Game first. The Happy Ever After Game only gets activated once you finished a level in the Classic Game.
