Park Beyond

Park Beyond is a strategy game in which we play as an architect creating our own amusement park. It was developed by a German studio Limbic Entertainment, also known for Tropico 6 and Might & Magic: Heroes VII. It was published by Badai Namco Entertainment - one of Japan's largest developers and publishers. The game was announced at gamescom 2021 and released on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5 and the PC.

Mechanics

The player controls an architect tasked with creating an outlandish theme park. Creativity is our only limitation, as the game's much wackier than other simillar productions.

The game features an advanced rollercoaster building system. This grants the player dozens of innovative modules, letting them create thousands of unique rollercoasters. The ride can then be tested in FPP mode.

Moreover, thanks to the extensive upgrade system, it's possible to give other of our park's attractions (carousels, Ferris wheels, roller coasters and others) a wacky, absurd twist. For example, a regular Ferris wheel grows to enormous size when upgraded, proudly displaying its new, colorful wheels.

To exceed our visitors' expectations, the player must manage finances widely, track the customers' satisfaction levels and browse their wishes and comments regarding the park and the attractions.

Just like other respectable amusement parks, this one is also equipped with surveillance cameras, making it easier to manage. They let us track our customers' preferences, design new shops, recruit and manage employees or invest in research and development.

Game modes

Park Beyond only supports singleplayer. The game features a story campaign, in which the player meets many NPCs (both friendly and hostile), learning more on how to manage a park. The mode's objective is meeting business expectations and creating attractions spectacular enough to ensure the player's success in the industry.

The game also features the sandbox mode, granting players more freedom in creating and expanding the park.

Technical aspects

Park Beyond runs on the Unreal Engine, featuring colorful, lively, appealing 3D visuals, using numerous themes and settings for different park attractions.
