If you want to play proper Monopoly but don’t have any friends to hand, then the opportunity to head to the virtual version with Monopoly Plus or the Hasbro Family Collection has been a good path to take. Now though Ubisoft have got a bit of competition on their hands. Rento anyone?
Available to download right now on Xbox One, Rento Fortune – Monolit Tycooon (to give it its full name), is quite obviously a Monopoly clone that is trying to offer a similar, but different, experience to the market leader.
With solo modes against the AI, a local option for those family evenings and the chance to head online and take on the world, Rento has most definitely got the basics of the property tycoon dice game nailed. With 2-6 players able to take to the board, you’ll find yourself doing all the usual Monopoly actions – building houses, winning auctions and bankrupting players.
But Rento also drops in a wheel of fortune as you risk things on a Russian Roulette board. Will you earn the big bucks or blow it all in an instant?
If you need to take your board game online and have done and dusted the proper Monopoly offerings already available, then perhaps Rento is worth a little shot. The ÂŁ7.99 you’ll need to spend at the Microsoft Store is certainly low enough to see Rento warranting a look.
