Console War Giant

Console War Giant is a turn-based management game in which you run a young company that makes video game consoles, in an industry still in its infancy. You design consoles, secure hardware, build a game catalog and choose which markets to target while competing against rival companies. The game is divided into phases, giving you time to review the situation and plan your actions.

Run your console business

Design consoles and controllers in a dedicated 3D interface, then choose their technical specifications to suit your goals. Build a game catalog for your target markets, support studios as they port their games, and seek exclusives. You can also add features and services such as streaming platforms, virtual stores and DVD players, choosing what best matches customer expectations at the time.

Secure hardware through a competitive auction system. Produce and sell accessories and merchandise, negotiate deals with console retailers to expand your market presence, and launch marketing campaigns to boost immediate sales or pursue longer-term results. Research new technologies to stay ahead of the competition.

Compete and respond

Rivals take aggressive actions against your company, but you have opportunities to strike back. Your ultimate goal is to take them over. You also need to satisfy your Board of Directors, which regularly assigns new objectives.

Events in gaming history

The game features key events in gaming history and their consequences, including the 1983 video game crash and the Covid-19 pandemic.
