User reviews
This is a mobile game for people who dislike everything that's wrong with mobile games. Yes, it costs a small amount of money to purchase it but there are no MTX, no in-game ads, or "surprise mechanics" that are "fun and ethical." You buy the game, and you have fun. It is a simplified version of the city building and planning games of old, and that's not a bad thing. You run a city on a device in your pocket. It doesn't get more simple than that.

Addicted to this game. Software needs a tune-up to allow more cities to be built, and add some additional recreational venues. I'd love to play it more, but I've maxed out the cities I can build. Deleting the game does not delete the cities, so the next time I load it, my cities are still full.

This is a great retro style city builder. It can get boring after your first city in a region gets big enough. Once you start adding town around, to link up to the main city, it gets super easy. All in all, still a very good way to kill some time and build homes for the people living inside your phone, that make it all run. Never let them win! Luckily, I see know there is a sequel. I found this on Play Pass, but I'm buying the new one. Cheers.
