About Landlord
Landlord is a strategy simulator that blends property management with card game tactics. Developed by Wallfacer and released in March 2026 for PC, it lets players buy, upgrade, and evict tenants in a grid-based board. The game merges resource management with competitive elements, as you negotiate deals, handle maintenance crises, and outmaneuver opponents. Single-player campaigns test your long-term planning, while co-op and online multiplayer let you team up or clash over virtual real estate. Think of it as a hybrid between Monopoly and a management sim, but with sharper strategic depth.
Gameplay
Each session revolves around managing a portfolio of properties, balancing income, tenant satisfaction, and upgrades. You start with a small slum, using a deck of action cards to fix leaks, raise rents, or evict troublemakers. Turns involve drafting cards to resolve events, then placing them on a grid to influence neighboring buildings. Multiplayer adds sabotage mechanics like sudden rent hikes or forced renovations. The interface is clean but dense, requiring constant juggling of cash flow and long-term goals. Late-game scenarios force tough choices: invest in a luxury apartment or let a rival monopolize the market.
What Players Think
PlayPile community ratings average 4.2/5, with 72% of players completing the main campaign. Average playtime is 14 hours, though 84% report "positive" moods, citing the game's "addictive resource balancing" and "tense negotiations." Critics praise the 120 achievements tied to tenant satisfaction milestones and hidden market mechanics. However, 16% of reviews call the tutorial "overwhelming," and 23% abandon the game after 5 hours. Leaderboards show top players hitting 95% property occupancy, while multiplayer matches last 30-45 minutes.
PlayPile's Take
Landlord is a niche pick for fans of micro-management and risk-reward systems. The 120 achievements and leaderboards add replay value, but the steep learning curve might turn off casual players. At $29.99, it feels overpriced for its 14-hour average playtime. Stick to single-player if you enjoy grinding efficiency, but avoid multiplayer if quick, chaotic matches frustrate you. Worth a try if you’ve burned through other simulators and crave something with sharper strategic teeth.
