What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
The Universim is a city-building game that blends Civilization and Sims-like mechanics, offering engaging gameplay that can consume hours once you get past the initial learning curve. Players praise the core concept and find it fun, though they note the progression jumps awkwardly from medieval to modern architecture, and frustrate over accessibility issues like sound-dependent quests that the developers have apparently abandoned addressing. Most players who recommend it suggest waiting for a sale rather than paying full price.
They abandoned ts :(10 found this helpful
I would recommend this game but only cheaply. Just ran into my first long-running irritation people have been complaining about all along that was never addressed, a quest which makes no sense which is difficult to complete without sound. I play without sound for multiple reasons, that's rude. Guess the devs give 0 Fs1 found this helpful
very cool game would recommend if you like city like games like this tho i wish there was something inbetween medieval and modern istead of going from stone medieval homes to modern sky scraper appartment complex1 found this helpful
It is a really fun game, mix of Sims and Civilization
The game has a little bit of a learning curve, but I've lost hours of my day playing it.
