I think it works like it can take whatever is in a circle radius but I mean like what? The pollution simulation is broken too! You have to place parks everywhere just so the red thing on the buildings doesn’t take your happiness down. Tried a Central Park approach in my downtown with strong parks, it did nothing. My skyline looks too spread out and the demand for pay to win is insane, if your new just give up. Gold is where all of it ends up. Which you have to get hundreds which takes weeks? Half the game is real re is barely a creative side. ### 2/5 — How bad was the game *2026-08-10, version v1.55a* So ever since I played this game, I’m trying to build a highway, and I found that there nothing about highway, I can’t even build an Avenue!!! I hope that the game will understand, and please add things about it, thank you. I’m chinese and please add buildings from china, thank you. ### 4/5 — Jogo bom 👍🏻 *2026-07-26* Deveria ter como colocar outros em construções tipo cada uma ficar com um nome diferente legal 👍🏻 ### 4/5 — Suggestion *2026-06-17* This is such a wonderful game. Thank you so much for developing this. But please add more features for roads like designer city 4 ### 4/5 — A few small problems *2026-06-17, version v1.55a* The city and graphics are awesome, the buildings are great, but there are a few small problems. First of all, the land gets really expensive after you unlock more than a hundred tiles, and after 200 unlocked pieces of land, it is costing more than a million, which is kind of wasting my money. Secondly, before level 100, the gold was worth 100,000 silver, but after level 100, it is worth a million silver. I had a lack of gold before, and now I cannot build multiple special buildings. Lastly, my games keeps lagging sometimes when I visit other cities, and the fires I put out do not get saved when I get back in the game. Overall, it is an awesome game, but you should fix the three things and keep the land at 50,000 silver until you unlock all of the land in the map. P.S the map is too small ### 5/5 — Customer service excellent *2026-06-09, version v1.55* Had a issue at first they responded in under 24 hours ### 5/5 — Great but needs more buildings that are Chinese *2026-06-04, version v1.55* I’ve been playing since I was 4 and the experience was great. Ever since I had been to Shanghai I was obsessed and wanted to build it until I hit a roadblock. In 2025 there were only like the Shanghai WFC and I’m happy that you added more like the Oriental Pearl tower but it still needs a key building called Shanghai Center or Shanghai Tower. If you did add it thanks but I know you are honing to add it soon. :) ### 3/5 — It isn’t the old designer city and it isn’t as good as it *2026-05-23, version v1.54* The old designer city had realism, this game doesn’t and the graphics are terrible 😢 and it has lost 80% of its selection for buildings but it has only one 1️⃣ good 👍 thing that it is still fun. ### 5/5 — Great game, but we need an amusement park! *2026-05-22, version v1.54* As a new player, I am really enjoying this game! However, I really want to build an amusement park for my city. I've been looking for roller coasters, exciting rides, and beautiful animations, but I can't find them anywhere. Are they not added to the game yet? I would love to see this feature in a future update. Does anyone else want this too? ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-05-16, version v1.54* Fun ### 5/5 — 楽しい *2026-05-05* 楽しい。‼️ ### 5/5 — The *2026-04-26, version v1.54* This game is super fun it reminds me of being a mayor ### 3/5 — Real city building game that’s fun *2026-04-13, version v1.54* To be exact this is one of my favourite games and can you make it a tiny bit speedier. ### 5/5 — …wow *2026-04-12, version v1.54* Hi y’all, CoopMan2121 here. I just want to say that if you are reading this, GET THIS GAME. It’s absolutely amazing. The graphics are awesome, game barely ever crashes (and if it does your city is saved.) Lots and lots and LOTS of buildings. Also, transportation is a big part. Passenger trains, cargo trains, cargo ships, planes, F-18s; even Apache helicopters! Empire State Building, Burj Khalifa, you name it. If it’s a famous building, it’s on there! Great game, really complex but easy to quickly understand. Analytics and stats, it’s awesome. I must say that I have two main problems. Number one, population control. When you build a house or apartment of whatever, people come, right? No problem. But I added a house similar to what I live in (two story suburban), and the amount of residents is like 30. WHAT!? Are they shoved in the halls of the house? Also it is really hard to grow the population. I have nearly covered the map, made districts, and yet I’m at 250k. How? It would be nice if people came to your city while you were offline. You know, some new task, building homes for them and giving them jobs. The other thing is transportation. Aviation is great; cars are great. But then you have the boats and trains. The boats are like stubborn or something. They rarely go into the canals I have twisting through the city. They are wide enough, yet they barely go through! Also it would be nice if the ships came and docked. And maybe add tug boats or even barges. Navy ships are fine they like the canals. Submarines; it would be cool if they left their port every now and then. The trains are weird too. Are they flying? They literally take flight over the cars. I build overpasses to make it realistic. Also it would nice if the monorail came back. These are not complaints, just things I am confused about. Awesome game though. Sphere Game Studios, you have outdone yourselves on this game. Great job guys! CoopMan2121 P.S make sure to check out my city! (Zenith Bay) ### 5/5 — 150% *2026-04-10, version v1.54* been enjoying this one. my city has been maxed out on 150% happiness for awhile, any way that blocker could be removed? ### 5/5 — All time best game *2026-04-09, version v1.54* I love playing this game it has amazing graphics and easy to play! I have 3 of these games by the same company and play all of them! ### 5/5 — Online support team is very helpful *2026-04-09* I am very must surprised, impressed,grateful and pleasant with online support team, they really helped me out to restored my reset city that I lost while resetting to design new city for me. I am very much happy and I am looking forward to play this game on life time. 😊😊😊 ### 3/5 — Confused *2026-03-28, version v1.53* Designer city 1 has so much more building options. Why not have those on number 2 also? Airport is a prime example of bad designs , the fact you can’t even join the airport up as they don’t match. Great game but just odd choices for this version ### 5/5 — …wow *2026-03-21* Hi y’all, CoopMan2121 here. I just want to say that if you are reading this, GET THIS GAME. It’s absolutely amazing.

This game lost my interest. I would not recommend anymore. You have an exchange to get gold yet you steal mine. I do not see any future in this game now. ### 1/5 — Fui roubado *2026-03-16* Comprei o pacote máximo de ouros e não recebi. Entrei em contato com o suporte e só faltou me chamarem de mentirosa. Próxima vez, vou gravar a compra e mostrar que os ouros não foram entregues. Um absurdo. **Developer response:** Esta avaliação não reflete o que realmente aconteceu. No dia 15 de março, a compra de ouro foi creditada corretamente. Poucos minutos depois, mais de 5.000 de ouro foram gastos na sua cidade — algo que não seria possível sem a entrega do ouro. No dia 16 de março, as compras realizadas foram diamantes e desbloqueio de edifícios, que não incluem ouro. Todos os registos confirmam que as compras foram processadas corretamente. ### 1/5 — Hi *2026-02-25, version v1.53* How do you create a new city from scratch instead of the tutorial one but with max levels and all buildings. ### 1/5 — Won’t load when I’m online *2026-01-21, version v1.53* Just installed the latest update, and now it won’t load if I’m online, but will if I’m not connected to the internet. This has only happened since I updated it. Please fix this problem. ### 1/5 — 업데이트 이후 오류가 생김 *2025-09-26, version v1.51* 행복도 150에서 50으로 급격히 내려갔고 공원 설치해도 바뀌지않음 ### 1/5 — Cập nhật tệ *2025-09-24, version v1.51* Một bản cập nhật mới tệ hại. Đường xá đã mất đi cây cối tươi đẹp của nó. Chán ngán và xoá bỏ trò chơi. ### 1/5 — Update killed my game and no support help *2025-08-02, version v1.50b* There was an update and I lost all my gold coins and money I built up to run my city .. was very disappointing and the links to email support don’t work.. ### 1/5 — My game was reset as well *2025-07-30, version v1.50a* The most recent update, which does not use Apple Game Center but an email system, has reset my data— I lost my city, all my purchases (everything I had was already unlocked) and all my money and gold (in the many billions)… please advise how I can recover my city. ### 1/5 — The problem *2025-07-28, version v1.50a* MY GAME HAS BEEN RESET. In terms of metrics,money, gold and everything except for buildings. THAT too some buildings have been misplaced. I hope you guys look into bringing back my data. And I’ve made so much progress. I used to have 400 billion dollars worth of progress. Most of it wiped. I worked so hard. Please restore my account. I’m addicted and love this game but everything changed when the latest update deleted some if the progress ### 1/5 — Nach Neustart alle 233 Level weg *2025-07-25* Leute, Finger weg und kein Geld investieren! Nach Neustart landete ich von Level 234 auf Level 1, alles Geld, Gebäude, etc. weg. Nie wieder SGS! **Developer response:** Wir haben keine Nachricht von dir erhalten und daher keine Möglichkeit gehabt zu helfen. Bitte kontaktiere den Support – wir können deine Stadt in der Regel wiederherstellen, aber nur, wenn du uns die Chance gibst. Wenn das gelöst ist, freuen wir uns über eine aktualisierte Bewertung. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Favorite game *2026-08-31, version v1.56* Love the game it’s perfect. Long time player and love the constant updates for new buildings. I try to build my city in regions that align where the building is from, and really enjoy the wiki link. It would be awesome if there was a list/ database of all the buildings in the game and where they are in the world so easy to find buildings from the city I want ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-25, version v1.56* Game is very high-tech, but they need to add more forming stuff like rice or seaweed farms and I also like if they added more like religious things like churches, temples and different like how they look at stuff and I was like also, the worlds could be bigger ### 5/5 — Not a review but *2026-08-13, version v1.56* Why is it whenever I change something to the rails roads or anything transport related all the cars and trains freeze until I reload the game can you fix this please ### 5/5 — This Game is Incredible! *2026-08-11, version v1.55a* No ad breaks, wonderful selections, great content, great graphics, multiple terrain options, basically everything you need in a city building game! I would love to shake the hand(s) of whoever made this! ### 5/5 — Wow *2026-08-03, version v1.55a* I love this game soooooo much I have such a big city. This is the best building game ever😍😍😍 ### 5/5 — Besser als Sims City *2026-07-25* Um längen besser als Sims City. Das design der Auswahlmöglichkeiten Ist etwas kompliziert weshalb die Auswahl der Gebäudetypen am Anfang ein bisschen unverständlich ist aber der Umfang des Spiels ist sehr groß und es gibt keine nervigen pay to win Sachen die einem das Spiel erschweren. Es macht spaß einfach drauf los zu bauen. Die Karte könnte größer sein (meiner Meinung nach Unendlich) doch es ist trotzdem ein super Spiel 👍🙂 empfehlenswehrt ### 5/5 — After 10 mins….. *2026-07-20, version v1.55a* After just 10 minutes of playing I am addicted, but developer please, how do you get to the big real world towers I just wanna know! Like oriential pearl tower and others! As a skyscraper geek, this is perfect like I immediately got to the mid and high rises in like 10 seconds! Just straight forward playing, no quests and bad graphics. Developer please respond!! ### 5/5 — Designer city *2026-07-10, version v1.55a* Very good idea to make a designer city 2 ### 5/5 — Add more buildings *2026-06-21, version v1.55a* In the next update please add more industrial buildings and more decorations. For special buildings add Shanghai tower, the shard, Shanghai ifc mall, forbidden city and transamerica pyramid:) ### 5/5 — Sneaky reduction of Total Collectible Money (Minor Unintentional Bug solved later) *2026-06-09, version v1.55* After the latest update I noticed my hourly income remained the same BUT the amount of Total Collectible Money was reduced by more than 50%. This is unacceptable. I do not know why dev had to do this but I guess they needed more screen on time and more frequent game login to generate more ad money. Edit:The clarification provided by the developer is correct as I also carefully analysed maximum Total Collectible Money and found it to be unchanged.
