Lumber Empire: Idle Tycoon is a free mobile simulation game developed by Adquantum LTD. As the name suggests, this is a tycoon game wherein you build and manage your lumber company. The gameplay is simple as it only requires you to expand your business to create a lumber empire.

As with other similar titles, Lumber Empire: Idle Tycoon is an idle clicker game. There won't be much player input besides tapping your screen and waiting. In fact, there is a lot of waiting to unlock the rewards. Additionally, as it is free, there will be tons of ads. 

What is Lumber Empire: Idle Tycoon?

Lumber Empire: Idle Tycoon is a business simulator that will put you in charge of a lumber company. Like similar games, you will start small with a sawmill and work hard to expand your factory. To do so, you will have to manage your forests—cutting down trees and replacing them by planting new ones. Of course, you will also need to hire lumberjacks, who will do the tasks for you.

Aside from hiring workers, you will also need to buy equipment and vehicles that you will use to make your operation smoother. The precondition is that equipment and workers need a regular upgrade to get the most out of them. Although to do so, you need to earn more money. You would have to run marketing campaigns to attract new clients and gain the most profits.

However, before playing the game, there are a few matters to consider. For one, the game is not playable offline. And playing with an internet connection means you won't get past the various video ads that will pop up constantly. Additionally, the waiting is too long, and there is no guarantee that you will get the reward you wish to unlock. Finally, the income you earn is unrealistically high. 

Should you play it?

At first glance, Lumber Empire: Idle Tycoon seems like a good game to play. It has a good simulation idea presented in Lego-like graphics. However, player experience says otherwise. The app is prone to issues that sometimes prevent players from logging back into their accounts. The waiting time is also too long, and the game tends to fail to give you the rewards you've worked hard for.
