Honestly I went from Pocket City 2 to this after a few hours in 2 with nothing done I got this one and I’ve really enjoyed it.

Best city builder

I really enjoy playing this game whether it be waiting at the doctors office or just for fun I think it’s by far the best game I have on my phone

AMAZING I RECOMMEND

I have always been obsessed with building thing but the thing is most of the apps are way to complicated my dad showed me this one I love it. I was a little unsure about this game but I spent the money totally love it but some of the quest I cannot beat I did what one of the quests wanted it never said it was completed but other than that I love it

Frustrating

It’s fun to build your city but there are so many quests that it is hard to keep up. And then a tornado or fire or storm comes and wrecks it. That’s not fun for me so I deleted the game.

Perfection

This game exactly scratches that old city builder itch. It’s very well executed on the phone and so nice to pickup and play when you have a few minutes. Progress can be fast or slow depending on how you want to play. If you just want a zen garden experience of laying out streets and parks this game can do it. If you want a bit of challenge it can do that too. Recently I hand’t played it in a little while and pulled it up on my phone and my 9 year old and 14 year old kids were instantly drawn in! Given how much time I spent as a kid building cities in early PC city simulators I’m excited that this developer can bring that fun forward. No ads in the game, you just buy it and play. There’s also a good set of handy features like sharing your city with friends (without having to use social media, it’s just a code), running many different cities at a time and auto saving. It’s always been stable and performant for me on Android and iPhone.
