MinskWorks and Yogscast Games are excited to announce that Landlord’s Super, the quintessential construction simulator set in a fully simulated open-world Thatcher’s Britain, will leave Steam Early Access on May 25th. This first-person construction simulation combines its bricks-and-mortar construction with a broader social simulation that sees players renovating their former council house by performing legitimate or illegitimate work.
Landlord’s Super depicts a Britain from another era, yet the economic challenges players face could not be more real. With unemployment at an all-time high, it’s up to players to build their way out of poverty with bricks and mortar in hand. Take a dodgy loan, restore a property, move in the locals, attend to their grievances, then celebrate with a pint in this fully-simulated, open-world 1980s Britain.
The game has seen frequent updates since its initial Early Access launch in April 2020, with many features and gameplay mechanics developed in response to community feedback. With this final release, players can now play through from new Sheffingham residents to retirement, assuming they’ve managed to financially secure it.
Players can build towards a cushy retirement through any means necessary. Mix cement, assemble scaffolding, order supplies, and rebuild a community’s hope brick-by-brick. Take odd jobs and meet a cast of local personalities and dodgy characters around town, or just drink the day away at the pub. Players plan their actions in a living world around the time of day, seasonal weather, and their own wellbeing.
“When players can choose to spend their time literally anytime and anywhere, that so many have chosen to visit a fictional town during one of the bleakest periods in recent living memory is a real testament to Landlord’s Super and its unique spin on the construction and life simulation genres,” says Simon Byron, Director of Publishing, Yogscast Games.
“I’ve been delighted with the feedback and input from the Landlord’s Super community throughout Early Access,” adds MinskWorks’ founder Greg Pryjmachuk. “Recreating a period of Britain that was so important to me was always a highly personal project – so it’s been brilliant to see the game resonate so strongly with such a diverse community of players.”
Landlord’s Super is available to buy on PC now in Early Access and will fully release on May 25th, 2023. The full SRP is £15.49 ($19.99, €16.79), though there will be a launch discount to celebrate the game’s completion.
In conclusion, Landlord’s Super is an enjoyable construction simulation that offers a unique spin on the genre. Its combination of bricks-and-mortar construction with a broader social simulation creates an immersive experience that keeps players engaged. With the added features and gameplay mechanics developed in response to community feedback, the game is sure to offer a fulfilling gaming experience. So, grab your tool belt and start building your way to success in Landlord’s Super!
