About This Game Welcome to Villain City, a luxury community entrenched in the hills of horror. Ax murderers, mad scientists and tax evaders, all kinds of bad guys consider this place to be their sweet home. This is the perfect place to rest, relax, and pursue a career in the noblest of professions: professional Villain!!The real estate agent promised you a haunted house with jump scare devices and terrifying traps. Instead, you have a piece of empty land full of Vermin near a rubbish forest.But do not flee yet! With a little elbow grease, the help of your minions and a lot of murders, you can turn this house into a happy and dreary mortal trap. Just lure locals inside, then trigger your deadly traps or let your minion feast on their brains and flesh. Every night you'll multiply your evil level until everyone calls your mansion " scary, nasty and horrible."Be aware that the League of MachiaVillain Villains has adopted a strict policy that governs the level of wickedness that you have to adhere to in order to stay in the community. Drs Frank and Stein, Siamese co-Chairmen of the Board of evil ( BDM ), dictated a series of rules to follow when conducting your villainous business. They cover everything from how to kill intruders- to what salads are considered the most evil (no surprise, grated carrots).Follow the rules of the League and become the scariest neighborhood Villain!Build your mansion: Create the evil mansion of your nightmares! Put together the perfect crypt for your vampire, the insanest lab for your mad scientist, an irresistible swimming pool for your victims (and your shark) and don't forget the cannibal kitchen!Gather your evil nightmare team: Choose your minions wisely though, as each possesses different traits and have different needs that must be tended to. They also have different fighting styles, such as long range, bare handed, and of course, bare fanged.Manage your monsters: No evil mansion is complete without a cadre of minions to keep it running. Order them to do your evil deeds, and don’t forget to have them clean the blood stains.Slaughter innocent victims…and bankers!: Our menu tonight includes a wide array of victims from famous tropes such as jocks, nerds, potheads, party girls or horror movie celebrities. A good variety ensures your minions stay well-fed.Fight all the things: The environment is full of hostile creatures who want to take your place at the top of the food chain. Chupacabra, Wendigo, Sasquatch... There are also pro monster hunters who come knocking at your door with stakes, holy water or baseball bats. Show them who's the boss… the Villain boss!Bloody good crafting: Sawing through countless victims means you'll end up with a few spare parts. Why not use those bits and bobs to craft something useful? MachiaVillain lets you create things using ingredients gathered from victims and harvested from the environment. Put them together and you'll get something horrifying, but also useful.Follow the Rules!:The key to evil survival in MachiaVillain is to follow the unspoken rules of the horror movie genre. You do have an Evil Mastermind Reputation to think about after all. Follow the villain's rules to be a real success. So slaughter them when they're alone, kill the virgin last, and never, ever hurt the dog! 6d5b4406ea Title: MachiaVillainGenre: Indie, Simulation, StrategyDeveloper:Wild FactorPublisher:Good Shepherd EntertainmentRelease Date: 16 May, 2018 MachiaVillain FULL The updates to this game is slow, the price is awful it should at least be $15 or even sadly $10 since it's still early access. I can see this ending up in early access hell just because it doesn't seem like the devs are really trying to push out updates to make this game better. it can get a good 2 hours and you pretty much beat the game if you figure it out with ease. It's very easy understanding game and it has a somthing other's don't have which is actually managing a haunted house! It'll be a no for me untill I see more updates come out... Its a great game! Its kinda like dungeon keeper. Or rimworld, etc. And they just put out a awesome update.. Rimworld with a dark Theme.Lure your victims to your dark mansion and eat them!. This has the potential to be a very good game. My biggest problem is that it takes so long to be able to do anything in the game. The fun part of the game is making elaborate traps for the civilians but to be able to get to that point you have to grind for literally hours. I think the developers need to go back and look at rebalancing the numbers a bit. You barely have any time to work on your mansion between waves of civilians but you need the food so skipping a day doesn't work as well. I know that one of the devs ended up in the hospital right after release and I hope that he is doing fine now. I just hope that they will keep updating the game and as a quicker pace. I honestly think that they should have released this game in early access because it has the potential to be a great game but it needs some work. The concept itself is very good. A management game with lots of dark humor, a good presentation, and a nice visual style. However the game is so plagued with bugs that you spend most of your time finding a way arround the bugs, instead of actually having fun.Still, you put up with the bugs and play. Then suddenly you have to start over again because your saved game became corrupted (due to yet another bug) and you lost all your progress. There goes 10, 20, XX, hours of your time down the drain.Updates are very few and far between. And there is no roadmap or even an updated change log to at least learn what has been fixed in the beta branch (yes, this "fully released" game still has a beta branch), or when will the changes in beta be applied to the main branch. So its very hard to have patience and hope that the game will be fixed and you will be able to enjoy it.The bottomline: Its a damn shame. This game could be awesome! Instead its just a nearly unplayable, poorly updated bugfest for wich there is no date in sight of when (or even if) it will be fixed and made playable.Certainly NOT worth the asking price. Dont waste your money.. The game is good and all. Its idea and such.Here's the thing. It says as a released version. Unfortunately, it isn't. It's very much in early access.. update is slow, very slow. Devs don't listen to its playerbase.I don't think it's a bug, coz a bug in a code works "somewhat". In this game functions don't really work! Their way of thinking is like this. "Meh, this'll do" or somwhere along the line.In example..1.Battery's don't work, it doesn't really store electricity as intended.2.Hidden wall\/door(a door only for ur minions.), Heroes and victims walk on them like normal doors regardless if scared or not.3. Auto-switch doesn't work, It on and offs regardless of whoever passes by even if u toggle said characters.4. No crowd control capabilities like RTS games. such as grouping your units and hotkeys. etc.5. when you save\/load, sometimes u lose resources, your minions die, your victims disappear.6. your minion arrangement are out of whack, like you cant put them in orders u want and they randomly order whenever.7. heroes\/monsters when they attack they don't move. they just stay in the edge of the screen until u show up near them and they follow you.8. Heroes and monsters don't use skill they just normal attack you and follow you. So it is very easy to macro\/micro them, but they too OP. they can one-shot your monster even at lvl5+, even your frankenstein monster.9. Wall-Saw trap don't work.10. When you mind-control a victim they still call for help, and also if they mind controlled. Shouldnt u be able to control them to lessen the suspicion?11. Some victims just walk in and out of a door when scared.12. Trees & mushroom pop out anywhere, so if you had a furniture, wall, floor in where it pops out it destroys it and your resources used is gone.13. vampires still burn while inside a house or even at night.LASTLY VERY LIMITED! and not worth the price right now and there's really not much content. get rimwolrd instead.I want my money and time back please. fun game yet it chrases on me from time to time. Neat game but infuriating bugs and poor documentation. A fun little game.Cuter and lighter than Rimworld with some dark humorThe Good:- The art style- The macabre humorThe Bad:- controls take a bit of getting used to- the job prioritisation could do some work (note havent played the electrocution update yet). I loved the idea of the game. It was not a great buy for me. There were a lot of bugs, not great explanations. Also I was always running out of food or supplies. Humans seemed to be coming all the time. Could never get a head. Game was in turn infuriating.
