Free oil drilling simulation
Turmoil is a free mobile game developed by LTGames. It is a simulation game about oil drilling. It takes place in America during the oil drilling craze, and you are playing a new oil baron. However, you are up against three rivals on your path to becoming a successful entrepreneur.
Like other tycoon games, Turmoil comes with simplistic gameplay. You will start small and grow your business by drilling oil and selling them. During the game, you will also upgrade the tools and unlock a few new ones. However, over time, you will find that the gameplay is repetitive.
How do you play Turmoil?
Turmoil is a simple casual business simulation. As mentioned, you play as a new oil baron in a town in America. However, three other barons are drilling in the same town as you. You will have to compete with them for profit. Don’t worry, though. The game is simple, with its gameplay revolving around locating hidden oil pockets underground and drilling, transporting and selling them.
If you are a new player, do not worry. The game begins with a tutorial that covers the basics of how to play. Not only that, but the mechanics are also easy to learn. Moreover, it doesn’t change much as the game progresses. Sure, there will be different settings and randomly generated levels, and that will provide a variety. However, the core gameplay will remain the same.
Besides the simplistic gameplay, the game also comes with a very simple art style and theme. It also has a simple interface for easy navigation. However, note that when you pause the game, the menu option will cover up most of the screen, hindering you from analyzing the scene for strategy. Additionally, the app sometimes fails to save your progress, requiring you to start from the beginning.
Is the game good?
Overall, Turmoil is a good choice if you are looking for a simple casual game. It has easy-to-understand gameplay that is typical of tycoon games. It also has a simple 2D art style that matches its simple mechanics. However, even with its upgrades and competition, it is not particularly challenging. You will also find that the gameplay is repetitive. Still, it is an amusing diversion to relax.
