    A boring mobile-port. I don't enjoy many idle games at all, and this game is basically the most normal idle game ever made. But you need to realise this game isn't meant to be played hardcore. I personally open it up once every fortnight, to reap the rewards, and mindlessly spam the upgrades. A game you should have, but most likely will forget.

    Kind of great , kind of dumb. Playing this feels really like a waste of time but it is yet addicting.

    Playability: 7.0
    Longevity: 6.5
    Impact: 6.5

    Pro
    + Absolutely funny at the beginning, useful while waiting for something (like downloads)
    + Doesn't need big effort but continues to keep the player interested for days without the need of real money spending
    + The design of the planets and the characters is great and really funny, even if simple
    + The music is mesmerizing...

    Cons
    - ...but always the same, and so boring, after a while!
    - The longer the player continues to play, the longer it takes to increase the capital, making the game less and less interesting and engaging with time
    - It lacks of variety and objectives
    - Not a deep game, not even in the intent. It gives a sense of uselessness

    Overall Verdict

    6.5: Adventure Capitalist is a quite simple and well done pastime, more than a game.
    The only objective is to get richer and richer, which bores after a while.
    The title, though, is quite enjoyable at the beginning and runs smoothly. An acceptable F2P experience without great expectations.

    PC Optimization as of 18/09/2016

    Obviously, being a quite simple F2P game developed for PC, the game runs flawlessly.
    Many updates, by the way, are often released keeping the game up-to-date with newer hardware.
    All in all a greatly optimized and supported game.    … Expand

    Very solid idle game, starts off slow, but after a couple of hours you get crazy rich. Takes about 40-60 hours to 100% complete all the three "planets", unfortunately it left me hanging and feeling empty after completing it. Not much to do after.

    You click, then you click, then you click some more. AdVenture Capitalist is an incremental game with a lot of idling: you will enjoy it if you liked Cookie Clicker, but it won't be as funny.

    AdVenture Capitalist is a satire about money, a free-to-play game that lampoons economies of scale by asking its players to build a financial empire from a single lemonade stand. It exudes a campy self-awareness of capitalism’s most obvious flaws while simultaneously encouraging total indulgence in them. The end result feels like an interactive black hole, something that’s inescapably addictive and yet entirely vacuous.
