Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Game is an enjoyable city builder, but there has not been an update in 7 months, apparently the dev is working on a 'major update' but I'd hold off on buying it until the update cycle becomes more regular and transparent as at the moment…”
“Step 1. Develop insane hype for cool game concept with high demand. Step 2. Release playable tech demo. Step 3. Release a handful of updates in two years. Step 4. Make an estimated $140MM in sales.”
