Soviet City Reviews

great art style and some quite unique mechanics and challenges. Its not so much based on history but more a parody of what some soviety city is like - there are a lot of neat ideas brought to the fore in how the player uses state terror and the double-edged sword this can be in both trying to keep the civilians under control but also answer the demands from the central government. Its well worth getting, can though be a little difficult to start with as there are alot of options on screen and time is ticking and there is seemingly alot one must do to meet 5 year plan goals and such - to some extent the game expects one to fail a few times in meeting such goals i think.

I wish the developer came back and worked on the game again. It's unplayable due to a lack of guidance and bugs. I still don't know how the mechanics work in this game even after 3 years later. I like the concept of the game but it's really a shame that there hasn't been any updates on it since.

How could I not adore this game? I can build an economy based on slaves and human body parts! What more can you ask for? This also arguably has the best soundtrack of any game I have ever played. The game still has some work to be done, at this point it's an extremely challenging game, and there is a time limit on nearly every mission. While I understand the need to stick to the Soviet Planned Economiies "5 Year Plans" it would be nice to have a sandbox mode where I am not timed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qj_6ohWDX34 GLORY TO THE GREAT SOVIET PEOPLES!

EARLY ACCESS REVIEW: TO BE EDITIED ON FULL RELEASE I am surprised at the fuctionality of the game at its current point. I encountered no errors, and load times were a little long, but by no means unbearable. The art and design are very nice, and the score is very appealing, almost soothing in a brain-washing sort of way, which I can only imagine was intentional. The controls are easy enough to learn, though it may take some time to get used to the menus. One criticism of the menus is that they are not always labeled as what you may expect them to be labeled with, but that is easily overlooked once you learn the layout, which the current tutorial does a fine job of. The biggest issue I've had is a few grammatical issues with tutorial text and loading screens, but they are easily fixed, and easily forgiven. Even at its current state, I would recommend this game to someone who enjoys city sims, as well as one that likes puzzle type games.

This game is compleatly unplayable. - bug's, if you restart the city you cab't build road from palace, you must restart whole game and the numer of soviets is -5 - interface is a nigmare, it's even the problem to click something because the map is moved. - you don't know what to do in the game, because ther is no introduction any clues or whatever, you loses in 5-10 minutes and you don't know why - this is level of graphic that was good 30 years ago. This is the worst piece of crap that i have ever played. I am surprised that steam even allow this game to be on their platform. I had a hope to play a few hours of good game with totalitary system implemented and i am really dissapointed now. And it was so promising. The music is the only thing that is decent in this game. First time: 0/10 and the true is -100000000000000/10 I woul'd ask for refound but i bought it a few monts ago.

HEAR ME OUT. If this game was still supported, I would ABSOLUTELY recommend it. Abandoned? Sadly, no. But this game has SO MUCH potential! I know that ChickenInTheCornStudio (one guy) is still active on his Facebook. I've spoke to him via Messenger. While only once, I told him that me and many others want him to return to the game, and he said he would. Sadly, that was over 2 years ago. Hopefully, if enough of us reach out/speak up, hopefully he will be convinced to return to this game. Pros: Amazing soundtrack, Illustration/art style is gritty, yet so well done Amazing concept Cons: The most recent update made the game a buggy mess Sadly, Abandoned.

ORIGINAL: abandoned nowhere near complete. EDIT: There has been an update recently, the game is still nowhere near complete but that's to be expected of early access. If it gets updated regularly until nearing completion it's certainly a game worthy of consideration but will need more than just one update to prove it's not been abandoned. Stay tuned, folks.

Promising game full of bugs sold on sale and then followed by... nothing. 4 months (!) passed since last update[3] and I get this familiar feeling of getting ripped off by a dev. DO NOT BUY unless you enjoy unfinished piles of lies.

Soviet City is quite the spectacle... It's art style is quite beautiful and its soundtrack is hypnotic! Now I dont usually write reviews, but this game deserves its support! I have always adored the 'fake' soviet unions akin to the "Red Alert" series and this game really hits that sweet spot of my very abstract love for the dirty dirty Ruskis. Therefore I give the following things as possible feedback/advice to help this game reach its true potential via polishing and refinement: - Slightly bigger maps, or at least an option for such - A "free build" mode thats not so heavy on the objectives but still contain them to help drive the game - A better explanation of the "Terror" abilities and a possible way of regenerating some of the points used (Maybe by completing objetives or something) Especially because meat and coal are vital to city survival in the early game - Please PLEASE make the soundtrack available for purchase if you can, Oh MY GOD THAT SOUNDTRACK SON, SO GOOD!!! There are probably a few things Ive forgotton to mention, Ill edit this if need be! Keep up the good work, cant wait to see the final product!!!

Hi Community, as a little update I need to highlight, that the developer didn't do any process with this game since May, which is much too long for an early access. I still love the idea of this game, but please avoid to pay for it. Seems that the developer spended more time in creating a movie about the game than in the game itself. The status right now is still between alpha/beta and there is no general reaction to discussion posts or announcement for further process. This kind of developers destroying the idea of early access and this is very sad! Please find my original Post below. Best Regards ------------------------------------- This is the game I was waiting for! I like to play all kind of city building simulations. This one takes you into a freaky & funny kind of communism. Pro's [list] [*]design concept [*]music (even if I would never listen to it outside this game - it just fits perfectly) [*]whole atmosphere [*]idea [*]a lot of stupid jokes - spoiler: [spoiler]Mao looking at things Technology :-D[/spoiler] [/list] Con's (early access) [list] [*]of course - need to become more stable [*]some bugs of course (overlapping buildings, balancing) [*]very little content so far - I would really appreciate much more buildings [*]missing sandbox mode [*]missing workshop support [/list] Overall: Very recommendable At this state it looks very good; really hope that developer don't loose mood at any time and make a "still uncomplete game" release as you see in some other early access.
