Description

Turmoil offers players a visually charming, tongue-in-cheek take on the simulation genre inspired by the 19th century oil rush in North America. Get a taste of the rush and rivalry of the time as you earn your way to become a successful oil entrepreneur. As you make money digging up and selling oil, the town will grow along with you.

Lease land at the town auction and search for oil. Build a rig, create an efficient pipe network and bring up the oil to store it in silos. Sell the oil at the best times to maximize profits. Then buy essential upgrades in town to cope with rock, gas and ice. Acquire more town shares than your competitors in a bid to become the new mayor.

  • A campaign where you build your rags-to-riches oil baron career and beat your rivals.
  • Dozens of upgrades and new tools to improve your oil mining operations.
  • Meet the town’s characters in the saloon and make shady business deals.
  • Play single game mode to get one of literally millions of procedurally generated levels and earn as much as you can in one year.
  • Steam Achievements, Badges, Trading Cards and Cloud Saving.
  • Lease land at the town auction and search for oil using a dowser, mole or scanner.
  • Maximize your profits by using natural gas to boost the oil price.
  • Outbid your competitors at the stock auction.
  • Take on computer opponents, or challenge friends or random opponents in online multiplayer matches.

Very linear but decent gameplay. The stock mechanic ruins the whole game, unfortunately. Pickup a little stock here and there. Spend maybe 100k on upgrades in total then just hoard money until the end of the game and

It plays well on my potato and its very addicting. The deepest drill/2d drilling minigame is the singular bad part and even then you don't actually have to engage with it. Still waiting for more DLC tbh there is still

Simple gameplay with a lot of room for strategy in multiplayer. You try to out profit your friends and leverage upgrading your operation vs putting money down on blind auctions for stocks. You can play through a game in

It is a cute little game. Looks nice, sounds nice, plays nice. A little bit shallow, yes, you can deduce the win path in 4-6h, and it doesn't change much later (maybe something drastically new appears in later areas, I

The replayability is high, and even thought the multiplayer can get repetitive it's still a fun game to learn with your friends. If you choose to try and get all the achievements, you'll have a real challenge cut out
