Great game.

Ok, so, I mean, I don’t know what to say, I just started and already have 37K people in my city. Now at least, but, I just read red pandas comment and I thought they meant the drones, ok those look sick yeah, but then I downloaded the games and I was greeted with a circular winged jet. It was HORRENDOUS. It looked like an airplane exactly except the wings were practically folded on top, it’s basically wings but folded up to make a circle, obviously, that does NOT mean to NOT get the game.(so, still get the game) but, lowkey, that looks hideous. It’s disturbing. It looks like your mom.(mum is correct spelling) lol why did I say that?[shrugs] But actually, the rest of the game is god tier, but, I would say in all the games instead of unlocking all the land instantly 29.99AUD I think you should make it 9.99AUD. Cuz, like, it’s not really a GAME CHANGER. I mean, it sort of is, but, like, not everybody in the world is a Trillionare like Elon Musk. Obviously you don’t have to be a trillionare but like, make it less pricey. I mean, I know you aren’t money hungry, but like, some people might think that, also, it makes the game less fun. But, I guess everything else is good, but, tbh, most devs that make big games usually aren’t money hungry they also want money yeah but they’re main goal is to make the best game ever. Like you. Also, the road and all that functionality is cursed. Can you make it like designer city 1 and 2 plz? Also, plz tell me how to make the city at night cuz AI is usually wrong.😑 I mean, trained ai isn’t but they usually look on scam websites that tell them wrong info made by internet destroyers. Don’t know why they exist. Internet is good.👍🏼 That’s my comment bye. -ACU

Forgot

I love it

I rate it 5 stars like it is so good

Amazing

I love ❤️ playing this game it has no bugs and when I was playing it (only for one day) I got over 100 000 people in my city 🏙️ this really seems like the future now

Sugerencia

Esta bien se puede jugar sin internet , pero me gustaría que se viera mas realista, mas decoraciones , denle vida, es muy monótono.

Suggestion

I love this game a lot but there is something I would like to suggest which being able to add more lanes to cities than just 2 because I think it would be more realistic in high population cities and it always kind of bothered me I’m not able to do that

Designer City

3

Designer city 3

Designer city 3 is enjoyable and fun. It’s very similar to the original game however I think it should have more unique buildings like hotels, restaurants, gas stations and other structures already in designer city 1. The lack of variety is my only complaint however it is a major one.

I like that uh i like to build

This is perfect

Fairly Decent

No pressure to buy stuff. Very enjoyable game play.

สนุกดี

แต่อยากให้มีช่วงเวลากลางคืนด้วย

This game is the best

This is the best game all the graphics is good
😊

Love this game, but those jets idk

Those circular-winged jets look more stupidistic than futuristic. Can we just go back to the ones you have in Designer City 2, please?

I’ll upgrade my review to 5 stars

Response from developer

Glad you love the game! The circular-wing jets are part of the futuristic design direction — intentionally different from DC2. Dropping a star over one aircraft style feels a bit off given the game’s futuristic theme. Hopefully you’ll reconsider that 5★ soon!

만족하는 도시 건설 게임입니다. (3가지 제안)

비슷한 류의 다양한 게임을 해보았고, 유료 결제를 하지 않고도 얼마나 좋은 도시를 만들 수 있는 지에 대해 많이 탐구해봤습니다.

이 게임은 한 푼도 돈을 들이지 않고 좋은 건물들과 도로를 만들 수 있다는 점에서 명확한 장점이 돋보입니다.

지속적으로 업데이트 해주시는 것도 감사합니다. 이에 3가지 업데이트를 제안드려봅니다.

1. 지도 확장 : 게임 머니 또는 유료 결제로 현재 사용 가능한 지도의 범위를 늘릴 수 있으면 좋을 것 같습니다.

2. 도로 위 도로 : 다소 복잡할 수 있지만, 현재는 중복으로 설치되지 않는 도로가 있습니다. 중복으로 다양한 도로를 설치할 수 있다면 좋은 것 같습니다.

3. 인프라 연계 시스템 : 예를 들어, 활주로만 있으면 비행기가 뜨는 기존 시스템 -> 공항과 관제탑이 같이 연계되어야 비행기가 뜨고, 행복도나 보상이 들어오는 시스템

귀 사의 게임에는 사용자 편의를 위한 다양한 노력이 돋보이는 점에서 매력적이라고 생각합니다. 앞으로도 창의적이고 매력적인 업데이트에 힘써주신다면, 유료 결제 또한 고민해볼 사항이 될 것 같습니다.

Love ‘em all

Your games are real wonders. I love all the road options, and the circular wing planes. This is was so cool to start playing. I also love your responses to haters in the reviews

Good Game but Bad AI art

I love city designer 1 and 2, but this one has all this off putting AI art, I’d prefer if they didn’t include it in the game. While the first two aren’t triple A game quality which no one would expect for a mobile game, the recolors and different buildings were cute and had fun creative designs.

Response from developer

We’re glad you enjoy our games, but this review is disappointing. Our asset pipeline used AI to accelerate asset variation—otherwise the game would have taken 5 years to produce instead of 1! Every final building is crafted in 3ds Max by our artists. The futuristic style is intentional. Reviews should reflect gameplay, not misconceptions about the art process.

Game core good but the app is garbage.

Game keeps on crashing at every attempt to visit friends. This is why I am deleting the game. FIX your bugs.

Response from developer

The game isn’t “garbage.” Crashing when visiting friends is due to your device’s memory limits, specifically not having enough free memory to load an additional city. Thousands play daily without issue. Freeing up available memory will fix your device and allow the game to run properly. Reviews should reflect the game, not device limitations.

Updated review since dev reply: more bugs

Amongst updates and a dead community, and a small player base, this game has no soul. In my opinion.

The game data has been ruined (ratings, friends etc.) in which the devs have “fixed”, not for me.

The analytics are some of the best things in the game eg. finance.

The interface needs updating. That font needs a refresh.

There is no challenge. Once you get a stock exchange the game is easy.

Animations (cars, people etc) need to be better. Road types expanded. More animations for trees, weather, better graphics.

The music is broken when you swipe off the tab and for example glance at Google and go back to the game it restarts.

It black and white screens, crashes sometimes and lags for no reason (device fully charged, nothing else open).

Sometimes the UI is broken, when I go to buildings and commercial for a example, and then leave it open on that, switch to another tab, and then go back onto the game, the commercial menu is stuck on the screen, but on the normal view where you move around to look at the city, and you have to close to fix.

Response from developer

We appreciate you taking the time to write such a detailed review. This game already includes over 2,000 buildings, more music, and more features than DC2 — the only major difference is DC2’s 3D terrain editing. The one-off server issue you mentioned was resolved months ago and isn’t ongoing. Tunnels do work — support can guide you if needed. You’ve played for months, reached level 100+, and unlocked features like trading money for gold, so we hope you’ll rate based on the complete experience rather than a mistaken comparison. You’re welcome to email any suggestions to our support team for consideration in future updates. If your city is full, why not reset and take on a new challenge? The game never ends, and a 2-star rating seems at odds with the enjoyment and dedication you’ve shown.

Ai slop

Apple deleted my review but your response lol😂

Response from developer

“AI slop”? Catchy phrase - usually thrown around by people convinced AI is about to steal their job and end civilization. In reality, our game’s futuristic art style was crafted by real 3D modellers using tools like 3ds Max and Photoshop. Just like cartoons that were once hand-drawn are now made on computers, because the world evolved. If our vision of a futuristic aesthetic (very much in line with Hollywood sci-fi) isn’t your thing, fair enough. But casually dismissing years of creative work on a deep simulation with 2,000 buildings? That’s not criticism. That’s just lazy.

Ai slop

I tried but it’s too unappealing and outdated.

Response from developer

The term “AI slop” gets thrown around a lot these days, but it really doesn’t apply here. While we use AI tools in our workflow (as most studios do), the game’s art style was shaped through hundreds of hours of refinement—not churned out. It’s part of a detailed simulation with 2,000 buildings and deep, complex systems. Calling the game “outdated” while also labelling it “AI slop” is contradictory—AI tools are about as current as it gets. And so what if we used some AI tools? It’s just one tool in a broader creative process. If the game’s futuristic theme isn’t your aesthetic, that’s fine—but calling it “slop” dismisses a huge amount of work and care.
