Pocket City 9+

This is a great game to play quickly every now and then. It has a calming atmosphere and charming characters that give you goals to work towards which is a nice mechanic for a city-builder. But I am constantly wondering what’s going on with demand? Up until around level 26 commercial demand was constantly through the roof, only occasionally dropping down but always shooting Up again. And around level 26 all demand dropped down almost to the bottom and stayed there. From my observation demand doesn’t even effect how zones work so it’s still playable. (Also I don’t understand how natural disasters are bad if you can immediately rebuild everything).

Oh man is this game good. First things first, I’ve always wanted to play city simulation games, but I’ve never been able to get into them. I took to this game like a duck takes to water.

The tutorial is so tightly integrated in the gameplay that most of the time you don’t realise you’re playing a tutorial.

Of course no game is perfect, and this game is no exception,(as good as it is). Sometimes the game will give you a pop up message informing you of an undesirable event, e.g. can’t build in an area, a disaster is about to occur. You don’t own this land, etc, etc. Now whilst these messages are clear as to what the problem is, sometimes I find them unclear about how to avoid or resolve those problems.

Finally a request, actually two requests for in-app purchases that I’d snap up with barely a muttering of ‘Take my money please!’ A game this good deserves an equally good manual and strategy guide. If it is at all feasible, could you please consider writing them.

Thank you for producing such a high quality game!

This is such a great game, and definitely my favourite city builder on the app store. It has a simple and easy design that’s really charming, but there’s so much packed in and so many little touches to notice as you play. Plus, having the game be a single purchase without IAP is wonderful - it drew me to it in the first place and it’s been worth every penny and more. I’d definitely recommend this for people looking for a nice city builder to play on the go!
