Megacity Builder Reviews

Bad game, grafix broken or building's not apearing. vaigue resource management , i think simn city 4 makes more sense than this retro 8 bittype ..

I enjoy this game a lot. It reminds me of sim city 2000 from when I kid. There are two important differences: First, there's nukees. Yes you can nuke enemy nations because this game is sim city 2000 but is a modern nation builder. Second all of the cities work togeather to share rescoourses and you can trade with other nations. If you want a trip down nostliga road and have paitance for the bugs and bad user interface, than this game is for you.

Fantastic game! If you like lite sims, then this is your game. It's got a very detail orientated design for a game as lite as it is, its mechanics are nuanced and unique. I strongly advise this game to anybody who is a fan of unique sims. It has a bit of a learning curve, but never fear, its worth it!

If you have the time you should buy this game it is a game like sim city but with a twist, You can go at war with other nations. There are many choices to pick so you can pick how you want the game to go. Also there are Disasters you can use on your city.

Has some cool ideas but extremely clunky. Imagine a much less user-friendly clone of Sim City 3000.

like the older city building games but with a national twist. incorporates multiple little cities to run a country. can really get lost in the constructing and managing

although i enjoy the game there are very little in the way of explaining the game and the different screens to buy and sell or the science screen or how to incorporate the things you sell into your game play more guides would be good because trying to work out how to play is a big stumbling block to fun. if you can work out how to play this game is relativily simple

I'm still early on in the game, but I can say I really like this game so far. The addition of manufacturing of certain goods, trade, laws, etc. are done well and I can see myself playing this one for a while. The one negative is I don't see traffic at all. For me that is always a fun part of a city game is managing the traffic. I hope that gets added, but overall this game is great.

I really wanted to like this game, but I cannot reccomend it at all. I love the concept of a nation sim with SimCity element to it but this game just is awful. For starters, everytime you want to activate a tool, you have to click its option, in other words the game does not remember which tool you have selected. Secondly, I feel the gameplay (at least what I was able to try) was very simplified with no depth. This simulation seems highly unresponsive to imput. It also seems very easy, with no way to fail or lose. I guess the military component is different, but I couldn't get far enough to see it since the game was very slow on my system. I would expect a 2d game to run much better than this, considering I can play Cities Skylines on max settings. To top it all off, the game locked up every time I played and would not respond. Don't leap into this liking the concept and thinking its going to be a deep, engaging experince like I did. It's just a shallow, buggy mess.

First off, building a fun sim game is an incredibly complicated and grueling process. Kudos to the developer for even trying. It appears this is a a sole developer utilizing a few contractors to help or a very small team with quite limited resources. What they have achieved is worth commending. Unfortunately that doesn't make it a good game. The developer states that the game is finished and with the restrictions of the Steam refund policy, we don't have a lot of time to dive into the game. With the first 80 minutes of time spent in the game I found a lot of very simple mechanics at play. The tutorial is a bit confusing. The road laying function is unintuitive, as are the hotkeys. With enough time I could overcome that but the game appears shallow. Perhaps it introduces much deeper gameplay and simulations at a later point but I can't devote more time to the process. This is similar in scope and quality to a lot of the $5 sim toys that recently flooded the market. It's a good idea that touches upon plans for a grand scope game but either resources or experience have prevented that vision from being executed currently. The price is $15 and discounted to $11.24 for launch. For the diehard fans of lite sims there might be enough on offer. For those with a critical demand for the genre, it just isn't enough. Those who are willing to devote a dozen hours may be able to provide a more in-depth review. I am not in the position to sacrifice $11 just to do so. Good luck to the developer. They show promise and deserve to find some degree of success for all of their hard work. The current climate for indie games is tough. It's nigh impossible for indie sim developers.
