Town to City

An overall great game! Unique art style, wide variety of buildings and decorations, AND excellent tools that make it easy to put all of the different elements into play. Town To City does a great job of letting you set your own pace. You can coast gently along and fuss over incredibly minute details, but there is also a campaign with clear objectives to focus on. And if you continue to build well and make your citizens happy, new arrivals come at an increasing pace that can add some challenge if you decide not to simply take your time and ignore them or turn them away. One feature I particularly liked that I don't think I've ever seen in a city builder is the "Requests" that residents will send to the Mayor's House... The game has a LOT of different buildings and decorations, and having so many choices might feel a bit overwhelming for some people. But the Requests serve as a great way to introduce you to all of these pieces you're working with and show you creative/imaginative ways to use them. If you work to fulfill all of the Requests and nothing more, you'll have some truly unique areas in your city. But they're also a great inspiration for using the game's structures in your own new and inventive ways. Managing your citizens' needs is not too easy or too difficult. You can make a functioning community with little effort, but if you want to achieve certain milestones and get the accompanying rewards then there's a fair bit of complexity in how you set everything up. The campaign is also unique among city builders. It takes place over three separate maps and serves as a gradual introduction to the game's features, but there is also interplay BETWEEN the three communities as you progress further. Crops grown in one city can fuel commerce in another; hotels in one city will take in tourists from the others. Your campaign progress is saved across all three locations, and making progress in one will make you want to revisit the others for a new playing experience. Based on what I've already accomplished, I'm guessing that the campaign is about 30+ hours if you're moving at a steady pace... And then if that isn't enough for you, Sandbox Mode already has a wide variety of maps available. I followed the game during Early Access before buying, and I saw that the dev team was very consistent with its timeline and goals, so the roadmap for future content looks promising. Worth it! Worth it at full price, worth it on sale.

🌷General: After now playing for a good amount of time, I ADORE this game. I enjoy building sim games, and I think this one is very well done. It has lovely art style. I love the focus on managing villagers' happiness instead of managing a super tight budget. I'm still on my first campaign but the pacing (money earned ~ money needed for building) is great. Still feels rewarding, but working towards decorations and cooler buildings is way more rewarding than waiting for the budget to recharge (like in other games). 📖 Plot: I love the little quests of the people, though I wish that this part was a little more complex and overarching (multiple interconnected quests). I loved some of the quests that led into one another and made the world more emotional complex. In the future, I'd love to not only have a day-night cycle, but maybe specific (maybe even custom!) holidays where villagers gather at specific locations / use specific decorations / show specific behaviour. 🛠️Some smaller Issues: - When placing decorations on uneven terrain, there is sometimes glitching with the texture (I've seen this with the stone pergola most). - I think the restriction on the length of straight-road placement is quite annoying. - The routes for hotels are a hard thing to manage, especially if you do multiple different routes. I don't want to be nit-picky but considering villagers have no issues walking across the entire map to their workplace, their endurance should be able to handle more. (Or maybe let us free-place the starting spot, so they get there with a horse carriage or something). - I would like for the water brush to also get a square / alined brush to create canals. I would like too if water that continues down a cliff formed a waterfall. - I'd like for streets on higher inclines to generate stairs. 🌃 The "end game" when having unlocked most decorations is fun, but I think to keep players returning, there's probably some need to keep expanding that system with more cities and kinds of buildings. Also, I (since the recommended limit of 1000 people per city) I wish there was an option in late-game to upgrade the type of houses to another type which would also upgrade the people inside. It would be much nicer that having to demolish the house. Overall a lovely game, feels very lively and lovingly made. Also a nice, very creative community from what I saw.

Awesome cozy game. This game really surprised me by the gameplay. I tought it will be another city build game buuuut it's way different. The way you have to research things before unlocking them makes it really fun. But the price is a little high.. 9/10 <3

Beklediğimin çok üzerinde bir ayrıntı düzeyine sahip. Pek çok şehir/koloni kurma oyunlarında olmayan üretim zincirleri/hizmet binaları mevcut. Evet oyun sakin ve casual oyunculara uygun ancak ufak dokunuşlarla çok daha fazlası olabilirmiş. Eksi olarak sayabileceğim yönleri arasında tarım dışındaki tüm hammaddeleri binalar hayalden çekiyor. Oyunda üretim zincirlerini hammaddeden itibaren kurmak güzel olabilirdi. Ayrıca bazı binalarda denge sorunları mevcut. Lüks tüketim malzemelerini bile sınıf fark etmeksizin herkes çektiği için asıl ihtiyacı olan üst sınıflar bunlardan mahrum kalabiliyor (proximity'ye göre sıra ile atıyor haneleri) ve bazı binalardan onlarca spamlamanız gerekebiliyor.

Very cozy and creative, with a wonderful soundtrack

CANT STOP PLAYING
