News Tower leverages smart design, meticulous detail, and a strong commitment to the feel of classic journalism to deliver one of the most engaging management experiences in recent years. While it does suffer from a few issues—such as a somewhat shallow narrative and a lack of clarity in certain systems—the game’s ability to recreate the real challenges of running a newspaper, along with its wide variety of tools, flexible office-building options, and group decision-making mechanics, is hard to overlook. As someone who deals with the real, day-to-day pressures of working in media, News Tower felt not just entertaining, but familiar, inspiring, and at times genuinely demanding. It’s a game I can easily see myself returning to after work for a long time.

News Tower is a very solid Tycoon game that perfectly understands what makes the genre appealing: balance, constant progression, and decisions with impact. Its setting works wonderfully and manages to transport you to the real pressure of putting out a weekly newspaper while managing workers, egos, interests, and external pressures. If you are attracted to the world of journalism or this genre, I recommend it.

In News Tower, running a newspaper is about more than just making money. It's also about balancing desire, strategy, and ethics while navigating the unstable 1930s. The News Tower game is both fun and hard for anyone looking for a unique and difficult tycoon experience with historical flavor and strategic depth.
News Tower is a return to form. It feels made for fans of a genre that’s become lost in the Steam Early Access muck. It also feels like a great entry point for people looking to do more than stock virtual shelves.
News Tower is a stellar debut and a triumphant return to form for the vertical tycoon genre. Its rich 1930s art deco aesthetic, propelled by wonderful Jazz-Swing scores, underpins a deep, addictive gameplay loop. From optimizing the production line to navigating political factions, this is a meticulously crafted management sim that offers many hours of pure oldschool fun. An excellent example of how Early Access should be done.
News Tower reaches the heady stressful heights of the Tycoon genre, challenging you to keep a newspaper in print and filled with stories every week, to manage a tower of reporters, cleaners, and typesetters, and to satisfy a town of opposing factions, all wrapped up with a lovingly vibrant 1930s golden age string ready to be hawked on a street corne
Extra extra - News Tower is an entertaining tycoon game that puts you in charge of a newspaper, and it's a whole lot of fun.
News Tower isn’t a game that could be called a successor to Game Dev Tycoon. It’s a much more complex blend of strategy and builder mechanics that can keep you hooked for a long time. Maybe not necessarily in a single session, but definitely through many shorter ones. If you love jazz, upgrades, and seeing tangible progress, this game is for you.

If News Tower is anything to go by, Citizen Kane was right; it is fun to run a newspaper.
News Tower is not just a game; it’s a time capsule that propels players into the vibrant, chaotic world of 1930s journalism, inviting them to navigate the challenges and triumphs of the era. With its authentic references, captivating narrative, and strategic management elements, it stands as a must-play for those who yearn to experience the glitz and grit of a bygone era.
