Good game

It is okay. here is what you can do to make the game better: can you make modern empires like American empire or Korean empire etc, the players should also be able to make more than one empire like the Egyptian empire, the Greek empire, and the Roman Empire all in the game, can you also make it a bit more territorial which means there can be invasions and defences etc, to be able to choose your weapons for your army and you

Money money money game

I played this game all day for 4 days straight. Taking time off to sleep of course. I thought if I played long enough with nothing I would slowly build up something. NOPE! If the game is not being used non-stop it shuts down. But I was there. I was waiting for money to build up so I could play. I gave it 96 hours and I still did not have enough to upgrade a tree being as it was like 6 million to upgrade. So I deleted the game and am now heading out to delete empire city 2 (same kind of game) I have already deleted aquatic city for the same reason. I live on 800p/m SSI. So, moral of the story is, if no money, they don’t want u to play their game. I have asked them a number of times to lower prices. I even gave them an economics lesson and they do not listen to an economics major. Too bad so sad for them. I talked my son into not playing their game cause of how stupidity they R. I’m not rich because I fell off a mountain at 20 and broke my back. So I am now handicapped. But oh well, their loss..

Great !

So I love education and I wanted to find a game about building and history but never found one then in 2022 I found the Designer City Games and in Dec of 2025 I found this game and finally found what I was looking for!

Amazing

This is a wonderful game!!! I love the constant additions of buildings! Two ideas i wish the 1x1 parks acted like roads and two i wish you could flip buildings in all four directions not on,y in two!

Improvement ideas

Fun, but if you’re OCD, these changes would be helpful to not drive you nuts …
1. Needs more designs for services. Each building needs fire, police, church and education to be near, but there is no match for many buildings. It looks stupid to have a Chinese buildings with Greek buildings. It doesn’t make sense.
2. If you pull something out of your warehouse, auto take from the warehouse if you have more than 1 building. It’s a pain to find an item, place it and then find it again for each item.

Response from developer

Buildings don’t need coverage, but they do benefit from it. As for styles, the mix is up to each player—some enjoy blending cultures, while others keep them separate. Your warehouse suggestion isn’t practical—if you have thousands of an item, auto-taking could be chaotic. The game already remembers your last position in the warehouse, making it easy to place multiple items.

Love it but need more room

Getting bored as love the game but keep deleting buildings so I can still play as no room more tiles

Remedy for City Building addiction

Although simple and with what most people would consider inferior graphics, this game blows Sim City build it out of the water. If you find yourself not being satisfied enough with this version,try their new version entitled Designer City: Medieval Version

Love it but need more room

Getting bored as love the game but keep deleting buildings so I can still play as no room

Response from developer

Have you considered a reset and a new building challenge?

Ecology

I love the game but it is missing geysers, hot springs, and volcanoes.

You guys should design another city game

World wide Military based with different military branches of different countries bases military vehicles ships aircraft missile defense etc that would be so cool

Love this game

Love this game

Choice

Awesome Game

I like this game very much it is easy to play, and pretty simple too! 👍🙂👌

It’s okay but……

It kicks me out all the time every time I would try too play

Response from developer

This will happen if you do not have enough free memory to play the game. There are many guides online that will help optimize your device.

I love this game. You need to try it.

I like this game because it’s basically a sandbox game

Only plays music

I just downloaded this game and I can’t even build a house. The game only plays music. Deleting this game.

So boring

It works, but what’s the fun in just placing building around a map? This game needs more to it, like Megapolis, it needs neighbours and competition between towns, it needs some kind of reward.

I have played it for 3 days and I can hardly stay awake.

Great stuff!!

Sooo addictive

Best Game Ever

I have not encountered a problem yet so I really like this app a lot and I have read the other reviews and I think you’re doing great.
