Games that were made for the mobile/tablet space coming over to Switch can often be a dicey proposition. Gameplay that works for touchscreens and often more casual players doesn’t always translate as well on dedicated gaming hardware. In the case of Turmoil, though, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised, with it delivering a pretty smart strategy and resource management experience in a relatively humble package. You’ll take control of a tycoon-to-be, invest in a plot of land, and then work with the resources available to you to try to strike it rich. Finding the oil can be a challenge in itself sometimes, especially trying to do it efficiently and with an eye on cost effectiveness since drilling costs time and money… something you may overlook though if your initial wells have run dry. Not only do you need to focus on trying to keep your wells pumping, you’ll also want and need to keep an eye on the prices refineries are willing to pay, considering whether to store your oil and wait out better prices or deciding to take what you can in the event prices will continue to go down. There’s certainly some luck at play in your success in terms of how much oil is in any given plot but the real trick is in making the most of what you’re given. Overall, a smart and unique experience on the system.
