Wildlife Tycoon: Venture Africa

Wildlife Tycoon: Venture Africa is an electrifying software game that takes you on a journey through the African Serengeti. This fast-paced sim promises to provide you with a thrilling experience by letting you create and control lions, elephants, zebras, and other animals in this unique and deceptively deep strategy game. To achieve success in this game, you must learn the unique behaviors of each species and then build food and water sources that suit their particular needs. Plan your ecosystem well, and both predator and prey will achieve balance in the wild.

The game works by trading flowers to place a new animal in the world. As you build populations of various species, you will be rewarded with jewels. You can then spend these jewels to build improvements for your animals, such as trees, grasses, or watering holes. Your overarching goal is to move to the next level. You have the ability to select any animal and teach it about faraway food sources or pick a predator to cull a herd of disruptive herbivores. The strategy is deep, and the replayability is endless.

Your virtual animals behave just like their wild counterparts in the real world. Lions cull herds of zebras by hunting the young and weak. Elephants take over watering holes, driving off other thirsty animals. Hyenas travel far and wide to find meat and bring food back for their helpless young. Dr. Willoughby and Miss Carrilou accompany you on your hot-air balloon safari over the wild lands of Africa. In Story Mode, you'll unlock new chapters of their story, all told through animal-themed limericks. In the open-ended Sandbox Mode, you can earn high scores and unlock deleted poems, historical facts, and more. If you enjoy witty writing, you're going to love this game. The Animal Kingdom awaits!
