Concrete Jungle

I love this casual city builder. I still boot it up to play quick games of it every couple months. I've owned it for almost 10 years now, so I figured I should leave a review.

Don't fooled, this is a card game. A really good one at that

Really creative puzzle game, felt like it successfully captured the fun in deck-building, city building, and tetris all in one game! There's a very wide variety of cards and character abilities which keep things interesting, and it seems like there's a lot of viable strategies to beating all the levels. The difficulty in the final campaign levels can get very difficult, but it remains an interesting challenge.

This game can be very addicting but also have an increase in complexity, especially throughout the campaign. I didn't think the story was all that great but the gameplay and art style definitely made up for it.

Це пазл, а не містобудівний симулятор. Дивлячись на скріншоти, може скластися враження, що ми зможемо насолодитися містом, яке побудували. Якби так і було, то це був би цікавий, хоч і певною мірою складнуватий пазл, де потрібно думати й планувати. Однак механіка гри змушує нас будувати будівлі таким чином, щоб постійно видаляти нижній ряд. Тому ми ніколи не бачимо місто, яке побудували: нижній побудований ряд видаляється - верхній порожній ряд додається до локації. Будівлі є лише елементом пазла з гарною логікою та певним "економічним" впливом на гру. Але естетичними та містобудівними результатами своїх трудів нам насолодитися не дадуть. Я рекомендую цю гру тим, хто любить незвичайні пазли - це дійсно яскравий та нетиповий представник жанру. Але якщо ви не любите складні пазли, а хочете бачити гарно побудоване місто, то не варто купувати гру. Якщо порівнювати з Dorfromantik, то в останній можна насолодитися побудованим краєвидом (хоч і з не настільки цікавими будиночками, як у Concrete Jungle), і сама механіка пазла більш розслаблююча, ненапружена, не така зубодробильна.

Downvote not because the game is bad, it's "passable" at worst. But because it's often billed as a city builder. It's not, it's a card game. If the top tag was "Card game" I likely would have never bought, and therefore wouldn't be downvoting it.

放置建造类游戏，加入了一些俄罗斯方块的“小巧思”，可惜没有中文，如果有中文适配玩起来会好一些。

一款城市建造+卡牌+俄罗斯方块的小游戏，唯一的不足就是没有中文，玩到后面还是有点吃力的 We need Chinese

If you love puzzles games and they're you're go to choice of game, this might be something to look into. I've played a lot of puzzle games over the years and this felt like something new. At first appearance I was concerned it would feel like a clunky idle city builder (partially becaue I didn't read the description and just saw a few screenshots). And it turned out to be a chill and relaxing puzzle experience. All that matters is houses get points, points clear rows, and cleared rows make good sounds and give bigger numbers. Honestly, if there was a board game just like this it would be a blast to play with friends. The voice actor did a great job with her role as the NPC that feeds you information. Just wish there wasn't so much talking and it was quicker to get into things. I found myself skipping through a lot of the dialogue. I liked the "city planner vibe" that was being presented from it. But it didn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things. I can't see myself picking this up and playing it very often. Games like this aren't my go to choice. But I am happy I tried it out.

Pretty fun. Not so much a puzzle game as a card strategy game.
