About Skytropolis
You have secured a contract to build the world’s first vertical megacity – the Skytropolis. Start with a plot of land and build your dream tower up into the sky! From the architectural design to every part of the interior, you are in full control of creating your skyscraper. Do you rush growth and use resources from surrounding cities, or do you invest in sustainability with eco-friendly infrastructure? Be warned - the more you build, the more you need to balance your Skytropolis’ needs.
Great care has been taken so that Skytropolis can be played both in room-scale VR or on your desktop (non-VR). Whether you prefer managing your city behind a monitor, or walking amidst your citizens, the choice is yours.
- You are the architect. Design your dream skyscraper the way you want it.
- Balance is everything. Make your Skytropolis sustainable by going green, improving the lives of your citizens, and managing your economy.
- Prefer a hands-on approach? Play in virtual reality! Don’t own a VR headset? Play on traditional monitors in desktop mode.
- Tower mogul or inspired architect? Grow your empire in career mode or explore your creativity in sandbox mode.
- Unlock more than 50 modules to enhance your megacity.
- Meet demanding challenges to earn rewards and grow even faster.
- Proud of your work? Share your Skytropolis on Steam Workshop!

✦ AI summary
Players praise the game's addictive vertical city-building gameplay and its unique Simtower-like VR format, calling it an underrated gem with relaxing, engaging mechanics that work well for the medium. However, they consistently criticize the developer abandonment, persistent bugs (including a common placement detachment issue), lack of updates since 2017, simplified graphics, confusing UI, and the high price tag relative to the sparse content and ongoing technical issues.
Build at Sky City and maintain it in a vertical fashion! It's like the Sim City but in VR and vertical! Very addicting gameplay so be aware! Lots of fun and a gem to play in the VR! https://youtu.be/n6otot_Bfj41 found this helpful
The game is fine, a casual city sim, bought it at a discount. The ui is fine, some menus and overall information displayed would need a revamp,some things are quite cconfusing....overall could be better. The gameplay is highly simplified but being a vr game it is perfect as is. Bugs, yes there are still bugs in it, and based on the timestamps on comunity discussion it might never see another update, that is quite sad because it doesn't really have a competition in its class of games, when it comes to vr games. The dev(s) should consider that this game has the potential to bring in some more players but it is a type of game that needs slow and steady growth. This is an lost underrated gem, a niche game, and for context I bought it based on youtube review done this year....1 found this helpful

just build higher
It's an ok game. Unique Simtower-like format for a city builder. Gameplay is very simple for a city builder and the graphics are low end, even for when it was released in 2017 when compared to games like Cities Skylines and other large city builders. Only a few small updates in the year following release with no new stuff added and long since abandoned by the devs. Various bugs remain unfixed and it could use some QOL updates, but that wont happen unless the devs return. Worth playing? Yes, if you want a simple relaxing city builder to take a break from playing far more in-depth city builders. But worth the $25 price tag? Hell no. I first bought the game when it was released and was glad to pay the $25 then, hoping to see improvement and see it become a great game. I forgot about the game, fast forward many years, sad to see that nothings changed. If I were to buy it today, I wouldn't be willing to pay more than $5 for it.
This is basically Simtower and Simcity rolled into one. The gameplay is addictive, and it does make logical sense. This game is decent, but it could have been great... had the developers not abandoned it. The game is riddled with bugs, mostly annoying and possible to navigate around, but then it does crash once in a while, taking me out of the magic show. If the developers have any sense at all, they would return to this game and fix all the bugs, put out a public apology and watch the community grow. They just need a little patience with it.
