Town to City

Very cozy, warm, relaxing, chill medieval city builder. The look has some resemblance to minecraft but it's fun to play. The music is on point. I like the french/violin or accordion instrumental music. Not bad for a $30 game. Long day at work? give this a try. 10/10

This game is crazy fun. You can literally customise every house in the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ town and i mean it. This game is not a cozy game tho. It is only cozy till you open your economy tab and find out that your town is not producing enough cheese. For god knows what people here eat a lot of cheese :) Over all a must play if you are into city builders.

Impressively complex as the game builds. It's also gorgeous. Some quips/advice to players: - Placement of buildings as they snap to narrower roads is broken 50% of the time. Something will appear "snapped" to the narrow road, and then placing it has it in a different orientation and not connected. Gets moderately annoying in late game once things get dense. - Needs more keyboard shortcuts for common operations and better documentation of shortcuts in the UI. - Terraforming graded ramps into things is possible but tedious with current tools. I have found the best way to be extending the lower ground as leveled and then using the smoothing tool from the upper ground onto the lower ground. With enough passes and tune-ups, it creates a graded slope. - It's hard to see why populations are unhappy. I typically need to drill down to individuals. An aggregate view of missing amenities and environmental factors would help. If this exists, I can't find it. - By mid-game, it's usually easier to pick incoming residents who do have extra preferences because it's like free, bonus happiness (that doesn't directly consume commodities). A resident with an extra, satisfied preferences is 20 pts. happier vs. 10 pts. sadder if they have an unfulfilled preference. I have found that I start rejecting residents who lack preferences by mid-game unless I'm pressed for basic workers. - As a city grows, the decoration mechanic starts feeling too tedious to use in creative ways. So, I start spamming things like ivy on homes (which is a bit exploity, as much as that means something for this game, because of how it doesn't require unique ground tiles). I'd like more very/extremely pretty buildings/things I can use to expensively but quickly make areas satisfy resident preferences. Being expensive would keep some pressure to be creative early game but not encourage decor spam late game.

Very enjoyable, pretty, funny game, but at this time - there is NOT optimization. With my specs - 5-10 fps with the lowest settings after reach 500-600 citizens....

I loved the game itself- very chill gameplay and very nice and easy mechanics- but the font size, for some reason, does not get adjusted on the steam deck (only on pc). Since Id primarily planned to play it on Deck (+Mouse and keyboard), it's unfortunately a no for now. Will likely rebuy it once the other updates are out + font size fixed, so a warning for deck players that unless you want to use a magnifying glass (or, alternatively, the decks zoom in function, which makes this a whole lot clunkier to play), id say wait for an update to get it fixed. Only getting a thumbs down in hopes of devs seeing this and implanting it soon!

[h1]Town to City: Charming Village Builder[/h1] Town to City is what happens when city-building games stop yelling at you about efficiency for five minutes and instead decides to hand you a cup of tea and allows you to relax. Set in the 19th century, you begin with a sleepy little village and gradually transform it into a charming, slightly larger sleepy village. At first it's all quaint cottages, dirt roads, and people who seem perfectly content with life. Then, before you know it, you're obsessing over road layouts at 1:00 a.m. because clearly the bakery needs to be three tiles closer to the warehouse but you want a small garden just right *there*. Visually, this game is an absolute treat and I'm usually not a fan of voxel graphics. Everything is ridiculously cute without becoming sugary, and the world has a warm, storybook charm that makes you want to zoom in and watch your little townsfolk go about their day. Every street, garden, and building feels lovingly crafted. It's the sort of game that makes you say, "I'll just decorate this one neighborhood," and suddenly you've spent an hour placing flowerboxes with the intensity of a Victorian landscape architect. The great thing is that the game actually rewards you for that. Your villagers want to live in a beautiful neighborhood and I don't think you could make an ugly city. The progression from tiny farming village to thriving city is deeply satisfying. Watching your settlement grow feels organic, and it's hard not to get attached to the place you've painstakingly built—especially after you've relocated half the population because you decided the main road should curve slightly to the left. Furthermore, there's a surprising amount of depth here with many systems like farming and tourism to unlock. Population density is both required but too much has a negative effect on your townies. There's room for both efficiency and aesthetics. Perhaps the greatest achievement of Town to City is that it makes urban planning feel relaxing. There's no constant sense of impending doom, no meteor crashing into your cabbage farm every ten minutes, and no citizens launching angry protests because someone had to walk an extra twelve feet to buy bread. It's refreshingly peaceful. This is a game you can just let run for a while but unlike most city builders, with caps on both research points and money, letting it run overnight to build up a massive pile of dough isn't possible here. It balances both a desire to constantly tinker without ever feeling frantic. If you enjoy city builders, cozy games, or simply staring at beautiful little towns while convincing yourself you're "just making one more improvement," Town to City is an easy recommendation. It's charming, gorgeous, surprisingly addictive, and proof that watching tiny Victorian people carry boxes around can somehow become your entire evening. Verdict: Come for the adorable village. Stay because you've become emotionally invested in the placement of a decorative fountain. I highly recommended Town to City at full price and it will make my top 5 Games of the Year list. It's really just that good - a game that is fun, peaceful, undemanding all while providing challenge and constant interesting mechanics.

Creo que es el mejor City Builder que he probado jamás, y he pasado por muchos: Banished, Dawn of Man, Ostriv, Cities: Skylines, Foundation, Manor Lords, Frostpunk, varios Sim Cities, varios Tropico... Hasta Minecraft, Valheim, Against the Storm, The Forest o cualquier otro juego sandbox de construcción de bases. También muchos relajaditos tipo Islanders o Townscaper. ¿Por qué Town to City es mejor? Por que es CHILL y elimina de un plumazo mecánicas inútiles como las distancias entre lugares de trabajo. No tiene sentido que en un pueblucho de 200 habitantes, todos mueran de hambre por que el granero está a dos minutos andando de la casa de nosequé fulano. Este juego te permite decorar hasta el último pixel, construir a tu aire y no preocuparte de un carajo. Es relajante a más no poder pero también es entretenido. Creo que las dos ruedas del carro están perfectamente equilibradas. Además, tiene una estética de pueblo mediterráneo que me encanta. Se ve precioso, la música, aunque algo escueta, acompaña de maravilla, y tiene muchas tonterietas con las que entretenerse, como misiones que te van dando los habitantes, investigación y mecánicas nuevas que vas desbloqueando conforme llegas a nuevos pueblos como las granjas y el turismo. Si no te fías de mi reseña por tener pocas horas es por que, para nada, lo tenía pirata y he decidido comprarlo y seguir la partida. Lo recomiendo al 100%.

Отличный представитель своего жанра. Казуальный градострой, нацеленный не задушить планированием ресурсов и дорожных развязок, а дать игроку возможность неспешно расставлять горшки с цветами и развивать свой город. На данный момент я не опробовал режим песочницы и занимаюсь прохождением компании. Удивило то, что предложенные три города (Основной, специализирующийся на фермерстве, туристический) связаны и требуют параллельного развития, ведь чем дальше развитие - тем более требовательные жители, особенно это начинает ощущаться с появлением буржуазии, которым и вина подавай с виноградников, и в местную Турцию путёвки подавай. С этого момента тем игры ощущается уже не настолько безмятежным и приходится хоть немного, но думать. Логистика амбаров и складов, в целом, адекватная, но приходится время от времени вручную расставлять маршруты для оптимизации, но это добавляет интерес. Механика выполнения просьб жителей является одновременно как неким подобием сюжета, так и способом получить новые объекты для стройки и развития. Зачастую просьбы могут заставить улыбнуться, но были и те, которые немного раздражали и мешали, но не выполнить их не поворачивалась рука, посему я, как самый лучший мэр, соглашался на любую авантюру. В техническом плане игра сделана вполне хорошо, багов я не заметил, а на моём картошко-компе она работает довольно сносно, разве что время от времени приходится игру перезапускать, ибо если я из основного города перехожу в другой, то начинаются постоянные микрофризы, что сильно мешает получить то расслабление, которого игра пытается добиться, но это камень не в её огород, вопрос только к моему огрызку. Визуально игра достаточно приятная, хоть я и не большой фанат конкретно такого исполнения, но за счет работы со светом и цветокором наблюдать местные кубические пейзажи более чем приятно, фоторежим также работает на ура. Хочу отметить также музыкальное сопровождение - оно выше всяких похвал! Во время игры я не хочу включать ничего на фон, я полностью погружаюсь в развитие городов и слушаю саундтрек. Особенно нравится тема, которая играет во время перехода города на новый этап. Очень приятно! Игра определенно стоит своих денег. Рекомендую!
