Citystate reviews and comments

Translated by
Microsoft from Deutsch
Product received for free Building a Big City has always been very popular. Back in 1993, some People played Sim City in 2000 and built a Big City in a Pixel Look. And even today, in 2018, the Issue could hardly be more interesting. Games like Cities Skylines and Cities XXL Have kept the Genre up to date. Now a new, albeit smaller, representative joins: Citystate. General [This is an early Version of the Game] Citystate is visually about as detailed As the aforementioned genre representative Sim City 2000, but differs in almost all other Areas. It is also possible to build individual Building Areas, but not as complex as in Sim City. In Citystate, we cultivate square areas and determine where thin, medium and heavily populated urban Residential areas are to be created. We are Also setting Up Parks to increase Land values. In addition to this Planning, we address the Construction Of farms and Iron Mines in this game version, which is freely available to Us. In doing so, we put the agricultural Areas on lush green Meadows and watch as small Tractors bag the Fields. The Mines form a completely different Area. Here we select Mountain Deposits and use drilling to check the Resources in the Soil before We set up an Iron Mine after a successful Search. Once we have met our own Needs, the Rest of The raw Materials are exported and bring us Money. The other Part of our financial Income comes from Tax Revenue. In Doing so, Taxes from sparsely populated Areas bring in less than those of heavily populated. That was almost everything in the Build-up. Sure, there are different Types of street And the Parks are not all the same either, but we can't have an impact on the Buildings for the Release. But the Game is not called Citystate for nothing. The Idea in the Background refers to the State itself. We keep deciding on political Events, setting, for example, how we will deal with Drug Problems, Crime and even equal Rights for Men and women. These Decisions subsequently affect the Population, for example by attracting more people to the City if we give more Freedom to the Population, and in Turn, much of it leaves the City again, in turn, with a vigorous Approach. Gameplay Positively Good Overview: City Construction goes well hand A growing city exudes The same Charm as it did at SimCity. The Economy is not easy to get a Grip on. Motivation is definitely there. So you want to avoid taking out a Loan as best you can. Events make the Player think. Social and political Decisions have Consequences, which many Players who haven't thought about it before will notice. The Player's Decision can create Revolts and Uprisings. Negative Little urban Building Opportunities Visually in 1993 Stopped Currently only available in English. Some Events have to be translated first. Without any further Content, Citystate is a bit monotonous in the Long run. Technology Citystate Has a very simplified Graphics and of course loses against big Titles like City Skylines or Cities XXL. The Fact Is, however, that It exudes the same Charm as Sim City 2000, which was a little prettier than Citystate in 1993. The Game has a good Zoom level. The further away you move away from The Action, the better Citystate looks. Replay Value Currently, Citystate offers Fun for several Hours. If you have gradually understood the Game after the first Passes, you will have your Pleasure with ever larger Cities for longer. Currently, I think you're going to have 10-15 Hours of Gameplay. If more Content follows and maybe the community modding scene is also involved in the Game, you can call it a great Simulation. Conclusion Citystate Is still at an early Stage, but already offers a lot of Content to offer several Hours of Fun. The more Content, the more interesting Citystate becomes. Fans of the old SimCity parts, Citystate is sure to bring a lot of Joy.
