About Skid Cities

Skid Cities is a Cyberpunk City Building game. A sandbox where the mechanics and dynamics of a city follow a distorted, dark, twisted future. Build slums, incredibly high skyscrapers, cyborg nests, secret service black sites, factories, and more. Develop your city underground, or keep building on top of your city until you reach the clouds. Your city can be utopian or dystopian. Up to you.

A full, immersive world

The year is 2092. What used to be the United States is now divided into three main Trade Authorities. The rising sea levels have changed coastal landscapes worldwide and spurred the creation of multiple sea-only independent countries. Europe is still recovering from its civil war, 20 years after it. The rich are getting richer, augmenting their brains with technology. Androids are being produced at a scale never seen before. The world will not stop because of your city. You will have to navigate all of this as it happens.

Build your city on top of your city. Or below it

There is no limit to where your city can develop. Up in the sky? Just build tower bases and vertical streets. Deep underground, Asimov style? You can build up to 100 underground levels below your city. And it's not just aesthetic: Your levels will influence desirability levels, industry, and each other.

Utopia or dystopia

Who said that dystopia is bad? You can make your city dystopic or utopian, up to you. You can also create areas of your city that are utopian and others that are dystopian. Your city will adjust based on that, no judgment.

Welcome or reject corporations, criminals, and more

As your city grows, it will attract attention from the rest of the world. Evil corporations may look into moving offices or even their headquarters into your city. Oh, organized crime may want to do that as well. They will for sure be an influence on your city - wanted or not. You can try to kick them out, embrace them, or flat-out ignore them.

✦ AI summary

Skid Cities is a cyberpunk city builder that players appreciate for its Simcity-inspired gameplay and the developer's commitment to updates, though it currently suffers from significant technical issues. Major complaints center on save file corruption after updates, performance problems causing crashes, and control bugs that make the game unplayable for some users. Players suggest the game shows promise but recommend waiting for further optimization before purchasing, as recent updates have introduced game-breaking problems despite improvements to performance.

Game developer is back bringing updates! Definitely deserves a chance, simicity kinda game which hits the spot if you're looking for a cyberpunk city builder, might be a little bit under cooked right now but it's making progress.

placing trash dumps next to people is the best thing, of course cannibalism is better, but still a good game :)

latest update has shattered any ability to load a city just tells me you cant load a city from before the update but um excuse me game i literally just made the city in the current build yet you say its from before and AUTO deletes the save, i get broken saves because of updates but to be unable to even load a city in the current build its utterly sad and frustrating especially if someone had sunk hours into a city to then loose it because game says before current update but it wasn't

Before the December optimisation I lost a pretty large city due to poor performance and crashing. Now, I have grown cities larger than the city I lost and im enjoying it! Simcity 3000 vibes. Excited to see where this game will go
Not recommended Apr 2, 2025

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
