About this game

⚠️ Hello, Boss! ⚠️
Ready to become a Gas Station Tycoon Manager? 💯
Roadside Empire is a classic idle tycoon simulation game where you start with a small gas station in the middle of nowhere and build it into a full roadside empire. It’s relaxing and easy to play like a casual idle game, but it also rewards smart strategy decisions - what to upgrade, what to build next, and how to expand faster.

⛽ Build your Empire from ZERO 🛢️
You become the manager of a remote station that needs to be rebuilt from scratch. Step by step you upgrade, expand, and turn it into a profitable roadside hub. When you’re ready, you open new gas stations in different states and grow your business network across a huge map.
You can also hire managers and workers for your gas station to help run the business, improve efficiency, and grow faster.

🧭 Story Mode + Various Maps 🌐
Roadside Empire has Story Mode: as you progress, you unlock story chapters and new maps. Discover new territories, open new locations, and keep expanding your journey. There are tons of maps to explore, so your empire always has somewhere new to grow.

More than a Gas Station: Build a full City 🏘️
Your station can become a complete roadside destination with many buildings and services you can unlock and upgrade, including:
💧Car Wash
⚙️Auto Service (repair shop / garage)
🛞Tire Shop

This is a fun idle game, mostly. The manager mechanic is a neat idea in theory, but it becomes obvious that you won't be able to level them up fast enough without spending actual money. 1. you will never have enough bourbon, 2. epic cards must be purchased from epic cases, 3. even when you do upgrade a manager, updating the station frequently changes the requirements to automate it. Edit: logged in this morning to find a station that required a lvl 8 manager now needs a lvl 17. very frustrating

The game would be 4 stars if there weren't so many ads and so many cash offers. Even some of the events are locked behind a paywall. At first, I thought it was a good game, but pretty soon, they started asking for money and never stopped. Also, the game isn't worth the almost $40 to get rid of the ads. Of course, it's on sale for the first 17.99 and then 24.99. It's a pretty basic idle game.

The amount of real cash you'd have to spend in order to level up ONE unit in order to make this a truly idle game is PHENOMENAL. They deliberately make it so you have to buy each and every single thing in order to upgrade. And considering the game is monotonous and the story is junk, it's not worth it. If you have gambling problems or spending issues DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME.
