How it feels

A laid-back zoo management sim where you casually build habitats, care for animals, and keep visitors happy at your own pace.

What players say

Players call Zoo Empire a nostalgic piece of childhood, but note it crashes often, especially mid-game, and rare animals do not unlock as promised. The freeform mode lacks an unlimited funds option, and the game has no cloud save, though fans say its challenging levels come closest to Zoo Tycoon on Steam.
