Build a lot: Elizabethan Era - Back In Time

HipSoft's popular game series have taken the real estate business idea and turned it into a fun way of spending your time. Every time you would be some kind of mogul in modern times with all the relevant attributes.

This new release, Build a lot: Elizabethan Era, has turned things a bit backwards, but not in regard of quality or addiction.

The game play will be very familiar to those who have played the previous releases of the Build-a-lot series.

Even though the game does take you back in time when many things that are part of property management nowadays didn't even existed, you still get to do many similar things.

Those include wise time, money, material management, making new contacts, giving a new life (with further revenue, right?) to old things. As to the building itself, you will get to build everything from simple structures of that time to great magnificent palaces.

Another task of yours will be going around the settlements across England trying to find ways to solve the problems over there. It would be better if those  would look more different rather than quite similar. Though it is not like it is a great problem.You will have to build totally new buildings as well as reconstruct the old ones that you can buy. In case things go really bad, you can sell your buildings to get some money.

The houses that you own give you regular rental income, so improving them improves  your income too. As you progress you unlock new structures to build, like service buildings, construction buildings.

You will start with simple goals per level, like earning a set amount of rent or total money, building a set number of specific structures, and eliminating any dilapidated buildings. You have enough time to complete those. But there is a bonus for you if you do it the halfway mark on the time meter.

The difficulty level increases too as you move further into the game. Plus things like worker sickness, famine, plague, drought, and building repairs also pop-up when you least expect them. So be sure to be busy all along the way.

The game has everything to satisfy the fans of the series and also to please those new to the genre.
