Automation Empire is not a game that you quickly get addicted to in the first five minutes. Its a game that addicts you once you have understand its mechanics, and have played at least two hours without break. Automation Empire is not so much a simulation game as it is a puzzle. An ever shifting puzzle built upon the need to improve.
Automation Empire inspires you to get efficient, and test your mental skills on how to overcome challenges. Automation Empire doesn't have problems as a game, rather it has challenges, and its greatest challenge has been understanding the purpose of the game, and the backlash it has been given.
