Our Expert Score

78/100

Drum Corps Tycoon is a niche but surprisingly deep management sim that captures the high-stakes world of marching arts. As an expert in the tycoon genre, I was pleasantly surprised by the level of detail regarding recruitment, rehearsal schedules, and equipment management. You start with a small high school group and work your way up to a world-class touring ensemble, making critical decisions about budget and musical complexity along the way.

The visual representation of the 'drill' on the field is a nice touch, giving you a tangible sense of your group's progress. While the 'idle' elements are present—you earn money even while away—the most engaged players will find depth in balancing the morale of the members with the rigorous demands of a championship season. It’s a labor of love for fans of the activity, and even for non-musicians, it provides a solid management loop that is both rewarding and educational about a unique subculture.

Version 2020.10.2Fri Oct 16 2020

In This Update:

-Bug squashing! The main focus of this update was to fix some bugs in the game.

-Stats panel beta! Located in the pause menu, the game now tracks info about the player during each season. This is still very basic and does not include scores from each season yet. (scores and more stats coming soon!)


Drum Corps Tycoon is a simple strategy game where the player gets to run their own drum corps and compete against real history drum corps scores. Deal with random events, make design choices, and build your trophy pile on the way to that coveted founders trophy!

Thank you so much for the support, and have fun!
