The guide

Overview

Unleash your creativity and strategic prowess in City Building, where crafting a thriving metropolis is only the beginning. Gather resources, upgrade structures, and train a hero to defend against enemies. Navigate this immersive 3D world, blending strategy and action for a uniquely engaging city-building experience.

Resources, positions, timing. Strategy games hand you those three levers and let you work out how they interact. A session starts slow, with a few decisions about where to build or who to move. Then the pressure arrives in waves or turns, and you find out whether your early choices were sound. The pace is deliberate. The mistakes are instructive. A good map takes several tries.

How to play

1Read the win condition on the stage screen, since strategy games vary between survive, destroy and capture.
2Scout the map before placing anything. Look for narrow paths, high ground or resource spots.
3Build or move in small steps and watch the outcome before committing more.
4Keep a reserve of resources for emergencies rather than spending everything at once.

Why it's worth a go

Who it's for

Suits players who enjoy thinking ahead and managing resources. Teens and adults form the core audience, with older children who like puzzles not far behind. It suits a desktop or tablet best.
