Business Tycoon Online

Business Tycoon Online was Dovogame’s free-to-play browser management MMO, released in 2010. Players opened stores and factories, hired and trained employees, chose among four industries and competed through guilds, strongholds, media campaigns and City Hall politics. Its core company-management loop was largely solo, with rivalry growing later. Service ended in January 2014.

Before you play

Things to consider

  • The official service closed on January 25, 2014.
  • Much of early progression was solitary and timer-driven despite the MMO label; deeper interaction arrived through guild and political systems.
  • The reviewed sources do not establish player trading, crafting, housing or controller support.
