MEMORIAPOLIS

I bought this game very early on when there were only two eras. It is no longer the same game. Very different graphics, design, UI, you name it (all for the worse). Resource gathering, making laws, faction control and rebellion barely exist anymore. Even expansion is a given to you with little repercussion. You sit around more than anything. Back in the day this was a handsome game with various levels of strategy. Now? This is not the same game I played for years and I'm really upset coming back to it. I don't know what happened since late 2025 but it ruined what was a decent game. Do not buy whatever this joke is.

This review is in English and Slovak: Táto recenzia je v Anglickom a Slovenskom jazyku: I was really looking forward to buying this game. I really like building strategies and this one looks great thanks to its "map" view of the city. And that's where all the positives end. I hate to discredit someone's efforts, but this game is very poorly made. Basically, I could find a comment on almost every aspect of the game and I really don't want to write a book review or some suggestion for the game. To sum it up, if I resign myself to everything bad and surrender to the game and its rules, the game is still not playable and fun. No depth like in the description, nothing like that. It's such a big mobile game where I build something, collect resources, build again, then research and so on. After a short while, boredom and dislike come. The potential is there, but the entire game would have to be completely rebuilt from the core. In the state the game is in now, it cannot be recommended in any way. I'm sorry. Veľmi som sa tešil kúpe tejto hry. Mám veľmi rád budovateľské stratégie a táto vyzerá nádherne vďaka jej „mapovému“ zobrazeniu mesta. A tu sa končia všetky pozitíva. Nerád dehonestuj…

I wanted to like it but it feels more like a software and less like a game for some reason.

This is a very satisfying city builder with good gradual pace. A single city took me about 25 hours, spread out between the 5 different eras which each had their own new challenges. The learning curve is very friendly, you're introduced to a few resources and resource upgrades and a few new concepts at the start or end of each age. The diplomacy isn't super deep but there are sufficient different city needs, event decisions, faction needs, and external needs to keep you occupied. Seeing your city grow into places that were once what you considered wilderness, then those places becoming old-city themselves is very satisfying. One of the more unique things about this is the organic growth of city districts which produces interesting/unique city shapes and is honestly fun to react to as your city grows under its own direction. Good game, would recommend if you're looking for a longer city builder focused on the city and factions.
