story6 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe game's story is structured around 30 single-player missions that guide players through building increasingly complex cities while meeting various needs, reminiscent of classic city-building games like Caesar and Zeus. However, players are encouraged to focus on the sandbox mode after completing the initial missions for a more engaging experience. Overall, the narrative serves as a framework for gameplay rather than a central focus.
“This game is okay in the sense that it has 30 single-player missions where you go on to build more and more complex cities, satisfying more and more tiers of needs, like the classics such as Caesar, Zeus, and Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom have taught us.”
“The best way to play this game, unlike the classics, is to have large poor districts that contribute to your economy without using many resources, and a few houses (a little rich district) for the mission objectives.”
