Introduction

Welcome to Constructor Plus, where building a thriving multi-species metropolis is only slightly less complicated than your high school math homework. By the end of this review, you'll realize that urban development is less about skyscrapers and more about managing chaos – the perfect blend for anyone who loves a good time while simultaneously wanting to pull their hair out! Grab your hard hat, and let's get rolling.

Gameplay

Constructor Plus flips the script on what you'd expect from a building simulation game. You aren't merely building houses; you’re running a construction company on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Build sawmills, concrete works, and even gather your dream team from a cast of characters that would make a circus look organized. Yes, we're talking gangsters, hippies, and other loveable misfits, all working (or not working) under your command. The gameplay revolves around placing structures and tenants, which sounds innocuous enough until you realize those tenants can be a nuisance! Think rent is cheap? Wait until you're evicting tenants from your luxury apartments because they're associated with rival gangs. Surprise! That's right; this is about to get interesting. Just be ready to hire some hostile tenants of your own if you want to stand a chance in this dog-eat-dog housing market. Managing your resources and avoiding predatory competition gives this game a delightful blend of strategy and hilarity. Hats off to whoever thought making construction seem this chaotic was a good idea — they probably went into city planning after high school just to see how deep the chaos could really run.

Graphics

Graphically, Constructor Plus embraces a charming, almost slapstick cartoonish art style. The visuals are bright, colorful, and infused with a delightful sense of humor that makes you feel like a child in a candy store. Character animations range from awkwardly funny to outright absurd, and you can't help but smile every time a crazy event unfolds — like when your tenant's living room explodes because a rival business decided to lee-throw a bubbling cauldron of mischief your way! While the graphics don't push any boundaries, they do create enough personality to keep the game engaging. It brings a whimsical charm that contrasts beautifully with the cutthroat business practices at play.

Conclusion

Constructor Plus manages to deliver a captivating and entertaining experience where you get to unleash your inner real estate mogul while howling in laughter as tenants throw fit across your rich tapestry of chaotic city life. Balancing construction, management, and the occasional riot can be tricky, but that’s what makes the game oh so memorable. Sure, the game’s humor might be a bit juvenile — but who wouldn’t enjoy a sprinkle of wackiness amidst spreadsheets and profit margins? If you're looking for a side of outrageous chaos with your building simulations, Constructor Plus offers just the right recipe! In a world where making a home isn't merely about brick and mortar but about keeping your crazy tenants happy, failing and laughing at your absurd misfortunes makes for an exhilarating gameplay experience. So grab your Switch, ready your construction crew, and may the best (or most chaotic) constructor win! grade: 8.5/10. The fun factor is sky-high, but beware, disfunction is only a click away!
