About
Black Gold: Oil Drilling Simulator puts you right in the muddy boots of a pioneer chasing the ultimate fortune. This is a first-person management game where success isn't handed to you it’s built with sweat, grease, and raw ambition.

You don’t just buy an oil rig; you build it. Start by clearing the land, chopping timber, and processing the materials needed to erect your very first derricks. Every plank laid and structure raised is a direct result of your hard labor.

Machinery is the beating heart of your operation, but these iron beasts need constant babysitting. Listen to the rhythm of the pumps, replace grinding gears, and fight off the ever-present rust. If you don't maintain your equipment, the elements will gladly take it back.

You can't drain the earth dry on your own. Hire a rugged crew to handle the heavy lifting. Train your workers to boost efficiency, and don't forget to upgrade your home base. Better living conditions mean higher morale, unlocking new ways to streamline your growing business.

Selling that first barrel of crude changes everything. Watch your funds skyrocket and immediately reinvest. Research early 1900s tech, expand your drilling territory, and replace rusty valves with industrial marvels. The race for wealth is unforgiving, but the payoff is legendary.

Плюсы: оптимизация. Минусы: мало контента (добыча дерева и металла ради стройки), прохождение за ~2 часа, сюжет отсутствует — только записки, появляющиеся после подбора самих записок. Цена: 660 рублей не оправдана, максимум — 150.
nach 4,4h durchgespielt. es ist reines grind spiel. Abfarmen, hinwerfen, geld scheffeln. bin entdeuscht. ja die grafik schaut gut aus. einmal konnt ich nichts mehr aufheben musste speichern und das spiel neustarten. danach war das problem behoben. es war langweilig weil einfach nichts interessantes passiert ist. hab mir mehr erhoft.

Nach wenigen Stunden ist man mit der Story durch! Die Drohne kommt mit den Lieferungen gar nicht hinterher, teilweise werden Ressourcen gar nicht transportiert. Man selber muss nur noch die Maschinen ölen und Holz nachlegen und Fässer nach bestellen. Eine große Karte nur für unnötige Rennerei, sonst für nichts. Möbel kaufen hat gar keinen Sinn. Keine Empfehlung für den kaum vorhanden Spielinhalt, spielt man die Demo hat man fast alles an Spielinhalt gesehen. Das Ende der Story ist einfach nur eine Textanzeige "Hier endet der Storymodus." Danke für nichts!
I want to like this game, I really do. But in its current state, it feels like a quick cash grab. The AI voice lines immediately set the tone, and any hopes I had for a decent game were tainted. It can't possibly cost that much to hire a voice actor to say a few lines with a little bit of emotion in the their voice. The game is... grindy. I managed to beat it with 1 maxed out oil derrick and 2 level 1 oil derricks. The game definitely needs to be rebalanced. The aerocopter pad doesn't do anything. I'm open to changing this review at some point in the future, but as it currently stands, don't waste your money unless you want about 3.5 hours of content for $15.
The game offers 3 hours of content
Game is interesting for first hour and after that its just plain boring, repeat and dump the same thing. I have 5 hrs and comeplted all achievements within 4 hrs. They could have done so many things but didnt. Not worth the Rs 489.
Great game, I like it but I think an unstuck button need to be added. I fell through the ground and have been falling for over 5 minutes and cant do anything about it.
Also Aktuell ist das Spiel nicht zu empfehlen nicht mal 4 Stunden und man ist komplett durch und was das wichtigste ist ab einen Gewissen Zeitpunkt Ruckelt das Spiel nur noch und ich habe definitiv keinen Schlechten PC das sieht eher EA aus als ein Fertiges Spiel ich hab die Demo auch gespielt aber da muss echt noch ordentlich nachgelegt werden besonders weil es noch abgesperrte Bereiche gibt daher kann ich es aktuell zu dem Preis nicht empfehlen, maximal 5 € im Sale ich hoffe es wird weiterhin an dem Game gearbeitet.
I really enjoyed this game, but I'm frustrated because it was over so quickly. After about 3 hours of gameplay, it said I had reached the end of the available content. Granted, I enjoyed those 3 hours, but I was expecting more from this game. Hopefully more content will come free later in future patches. Also, the game rarely launches on the first try, typically takes about 2 or 3 tries to get the game running correctly.
Played the demo ages ago and loved it, the full game is pretty much the same as the demo, but a bit more grindy. The game could be excellent with a few tweaks, (automation improvement, better building UI). As others have said, this is a wood chopping sim. It could do with a big discount until its better.
