| 2024-09-23 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-09-05 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-06-03 |  | | I'm giving 5 stars because this is the best pure city builder I've ever played on mobile. Honestly I think it's more enjoyable that Sim city. I will be downloading the 2nd one once I've enjoyed this one. It's basically cities skylines made mobile in my opinion. My only complaint is there is WAYYYYY to much commercial demand. My cities are basically 50/50 commercial and residential. And it's horrible. Please fix that as well as the controls for deleting and undoing things it's obnoxious as is. |
| 2024-05-27 |  | | Absolutely love this game!! It is right up there with SimCity. The best gaming experience I have had on my mobile to date! 2ell worth the money and definitely a fully fledged out AA gaming experience! I really hope there will be some expansions and updates. More quests. More items like, adding theme parks. Skate parks. Maybe for disasters like, aliens reeking havoc. Lol! But, absolutely love this game! Great job! |
| 2024-01-19 |  | | 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. |
| 2023-12-09 |  | | This game is FASCINATING. Hundreds of neat little details, all cleverly animated w incredible graphics & sound FX, dialog bubbles, & other funny little tropes. Stat tables are close enough to realistic, goal/reward balance is good, SO MUCH customization. Once you get the hang of it, go bump up the difficulty level & dive back in for a whole new experience. GREAT JOB! |
| 2022-12-26 |  | | In terms of playstore games, this is a 5/5. It's cute, looks nice, plays well. Limited bugs, things like fulfilling quests before they arrive break them, it breaks often if you play 'too fast' really. There's no real reasons to expand out of main city, there's few to no terrain bonuses or anything and it's all flat...but it's very fun and simple. It gave me about 10 hours of play before I made my expert city and got all the extra reward content. Worth the price for sure, thanks dev/s |
| 2022-10-06 |  | | I enjoy this game quite a bit. I find myself spending a lot of time building a city and neighborhoods. Wish we could rotate buildings or customize their appearance. I demolish and rebuild inorder to give my neighborhoods personality. It would also be cool to have a backyard we could build for residential areas that could provide leisure or entertainment. Parking lots (traffic) and boardwalks (roads) to connect to the main roads would be an awesome addition to this already great game. |
| 2022-09-09 |  | | Pretty good. It's a bit shallow, honestly, and there are things that could be better. A number of buildings don't have upgrades, for instance hospitals, but the other safety buildings do. By level 30 I didn't have to worry about money at all, the only cap was how many buildings and banks I wanted to build. The policies are mostly window dressing, there's no choosing a path, it's just how quickly you choose which policies. But for a cheap mobile game, not bad. |
| 2022-08-15 |  | | Absolutely wonderful. The city building is complex enough to be satisfying when you master it, yet simple enough to not need a manual to reference constantly. I personally love, more than anything, how cars and criminals can get taken out by a speeding police car, flipping around in the air. That and all the other little details that you can catch if you pay attention make this game an incredible gem. Charming and so much fun. The only gripe I have is that you can't zoom with just one finger. |
