There are a lot of different workstations you can buy, unlocking more as time goes on, each either capable of doing multiple tasks at reduced efficiency or a single task with a much faster and efficient rate. I then tried my hand at making a rubber duck, this one involved having a plastic moulding station so the little guys can create the duck-shaped floatable, then a painting station where they could (I presume) turn them into Tubbz collectables, followed by shipping them off for a semi-decent profit.īefore long, you’ll be asked to complete bigger projects (all optional) or you can simply make fancier items that bring in a much bigger profit – this is where things get very strategic and exciting. This is simple, build a workstation and have your employees carve a piece of wood into a cute gnome-like figure then load it onto the van to complete your task. One of the first tasks is to set up a gnome production line for your only distributor/customer. Initially, Little Big Workshop is a simple game which doesn’t really require much thought or in-depth planning. For now, let’s see what you can actually do within Little Big Workshop and just how deep and strategic this game can actually get…Īlthough providing lots of space, the little guys still trip over things! There are technical issues as well as some fantastical events which will pull you out of the immersion of this magical workshop which is sat upon your dining room table, but I’ll discuss those later. This game is hard, it’s not Dark Souls-hard, but it will test your managerial skills and frustrate you when you get deep within the game and find you can’t recover from the stupid mistakes you made a few hours back. You also have to do what many of us struggle with within the real world, manage your money in an efficient way and don’t spend too much without being fully convinced you can make it all back before you go bankrupt. Little Big Workshop is a mixture of gameplay mechanics, it has a very strong resource management side to it, ensuring you have enough workers and tools to complete the task at hand, but it’s also strategic as the actual planning of each creation is even more important than simply owning the right machine. Is this a game which casual gamers will enjoy, or is it too complicated and strategic? Let’s find out… However, once you get to a certain point within the game, I found that you need to up your game and micro-manage often if you wish to succeed – this revelation came after a number of ‘defeats’ which caused me to change my playstyle. This game came out of nowhere for me, I love this type of game as I’m obsessed with the ‘idle’ genre on my iPad and casually sitting there and watching everything come together with very little input from myself. HandyGames, the international publisher for smaller games within the THQ Nordic catalogue, are the publishers.
Mirage Game Studios was founded by four people in 2016 in collaboration with THQ Nordic, yet since then the game and company have grown much bigger. This week I’ve been playing a similar game called Little Big Workshop, only instead of making food I’ve been creating hoverboards, robots, cupboards, and rubber ducks! The last game I played which was like this was Automachef, a game in which you design and create an automatic food production line and watch as all the pieces come together, one by one, just before they’re shipped out to the hungry customers. There’s nothing more satisfying than creating an efficient set of processes which all work together in order to produce something.
