Mall Rivals turns the shopping mall into a store showdown arena. In this premium simulation game, up to eight players try to one-up each other to get the most customers in their own store. It’s enjoyable to play with friends, offering lighthearted yet occasionally frustrating competition.

Play fair or use dirty tricks

As a management game, Mall Rivals allows you to manage stocks, set prices, and hire workers. Everything you do must be centered on one goal—making customers flock to your store. You can use typical business strategies, like offering low prices. However, sometimes, playing by the rules isn't cutting it.

Nobody is stopping you from taking drastic measures to stay on top, even if that means doing shady things. Just make sure you don't get caught. This is a chaotic multiplayer game. While you might run into a few bugs, they’re mostly minor and definitely don’t spoil the fun.

A game where you tear your friends down

Overall, if you and your friends love sabotaging each other, Mall Rivals might just be the perfect choice for your game night. This is more about competition rather than shopkeeping. While it could use a little more technical polish, it’s still a promising entry in the genre.
