Rise of Industry 2 is the second part of a series of economic strategies launched in 2019. It allows us to play the role of a businessman. Unlike the first installment of the series, developed by the Dapper Penguin Studios team, the SomaSim team is behind the sequel, whose portfolio includes such titles as Project Highrise and City of Gangsters.

Mechanics

Rise of Industry 2 takes us to the United States in the 1980s. During the game, we build our own business from scratch. It depends on us what industry we will operate in - we can either open a winery or extract valuable minerals, run a car manufacturing company or an aviation company, or, for example, engage in the production of household appliances and electronics.
