The Manhattan Project: Energy Empire
Power your nation's rise while the planet pays the price
Vibe's take
Thematic, crunchy, satisfying, thought-provoking
Who it's for
Engine-building fans who want a thematic wrapper around their optimization. Solo mode is particularly well-designed for solitaire gamers.
Not for you if…
Not for players who want direct confrontation or light rules. The pollution mechanic can feel punishing if you ignore it.
About this game
