Build across rivers, keep boats moving and face new recovery challenges. Open Build is free; Ultimate unlocks city rules and all 11 challenge cities.
Start small. Think big. Build a city that feels like yours. Digicity is an isometric city builder for iPhone, iPad and Mac with Apple silicon. Turn a randomly generated 128x128 landscape into connected neighbourhoods, busy industry and a city shaped by your decisions.
CHOOSE HOW YOU PLAY
Open Build is a free sandbox with every building tool and the whole map. No ads, energy meters or play timers. Saving requires a purchase.
Scenario guides a new city through four historical eras, with goals and report cards as it develops. Era purchases unlock Scenario one era at a time; Ultimate includes them all.
Everyone can preview 11 established challenge cities. Ultimate is required to start them, including the new recovery challenges The River That Burned and Aftershock. Take over a working city, tackle its problems and follow suggested approaches and live goals.
BUILD A CONNECTED CITY
Zone homes, shops and industry. Lay roads, tram lines, freight rail, power lines and water pipes. Connect residents to jobs, provide essential services and balance tax income against upkeep. Traffic, pollution, land value and demand shape what grows.
BUILD ACROSS THE WATER
Add rivers when founding a city. Connect the banks with low or high road bridges, extend local routes with secondary terminals and watch boats travel usable waterways. High bridges leave room for shipping; low bridges can block it. Inspect access and locate known blockages before planning your next crossing.
CHOOSE YOUR CITY RULES
With Ultimate, choose Standard, Relaxed or Custom rules before founding a Scenario city. Everyone can inspect the conditions. Decide which pressures apply, including pollution, fires and earthquakes. Rules stay fixed for that city. When enabled, river fires, earthquakes and aftershocks create new recovery problems. Review debris clearance costs before rebuilding.
UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR CITY NEEDS
Use data overlays, tile details and the city overview to explore population, finances, utilities and transport. In Scenario, choose transport priorities and emergency-service funding, compare city figures after policies take effect and pursue optional ambitions. Pause to plan or choose Normal, Fast or Fastest.
SAVE AND RECOVER
Saving and Ultimate are one-time purchases that include named saves and device-local autosaves. Without saving access, your city is lost if the app closes or the system terminates it. Autosave is on by default and keeps up to three recent recovery versions per city history. Force quitting can lose changes made after the last successful autosave.
Ultimate includes saving, all Scenario eras, city rules and all 11 challenge cities. Purchases are not subscriptions and do not expire. Purchasing Saving or Ultimate supports future updates and continued development.
PLAY IN YOUR LANGUAGE
English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Dutch are available. Digicity follows a supported device language or falls back to English; choose another supported app language in Settings. We use AI for translations from English. They may contain mistakes; share suggestions through Translation feedback in the city menu.
Play in landscape on iPhone, build on iPad or use a Mac with Apple silicon. No account or sign-in is required.

Nothing like the satisfaction of optimizing of building a growing thriving city. So satisfying to see everything come together. I would love to see some better UX for the iPhone but I was able to get quite far with what’s there now. Looking forward to how this continues to develop!
Developer Response
Thanks for the review! 26.10.1 improves the UX quite a bit on iPhone. We're working to further optimize small screen playing.
Great city builder!

The game does a great job capturing the nostalgia from some of my favorite childhood games. Looking forward to playing more.

We’re glad you like it! We’re working on ships and bridges next, along with a robust rules engine to customize your building experience.
Feels retro and fun

It took me a while to learn the rules of the game and the mechanics of the UI, but once I did, I loved playing it.
Developer Response
We're glad you like the game. We're releasing a rules engine in 26.10.2 that let's you pick and choose how the mechanics of the game work.
Flash back to the past

Developer Response
Thanks! We’re continuing to enhance the game play engine with challenges coming in the 26.10.1 release.
Build across rivers, keep your waterways moving, and guide your city through new challenges.
• Rivers and bridges: Add rivers when founding a city, then connect the banks with low or high road bridges. High bridges leave room for shipping; low bridges can block boat access.
• Working waterways: Extend local routes with secondary terminals, watch cargo and recreation boats travel your city, and inspect shipping access to find blocked crossings.
• Choose your city rules: Ultimate owners can select Standard, Relaxed or Custom rules before starting a Scenario city. Everyone can preview the available conditions.
• New disasters and recovery challenges: Face river fires, earthquakes and aftershocks when enabled. Ultimate adds two established challenge cities: The River That Burned and Aftershock.
• Clear disaster damage: Review debris clearance costs before building, with Undo available to restore cleared structures and refund the charge.
• Easier city setup: A clearer Game types screen introduces Open Build, Scenario and Challenges. Rivers and the optional city name are easier to find, alongside a clearer Reroll map button.
• Better building controls: More room for building tools on landscape iPhone, compact tile details, and improved layouts at larger text sizes on iPhone and iPad.
• Terrain fixes: Improved riverbanks and smoother road, rail and streetcar connections across uneven ground.
• Updated purchases: Purchases now use Apple directly, with restoration support for existing Apple purchases.
New controls and guidance are available in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish and Dutch.
