A lot going on and to do but the amount of ads is insane. I get some but easily spend half your time clicking through ads and upcharges. I quit based on that. Visually very cool. ### 4/5 — Too many pop ups *2026-09-05, version 1.2.584* Entertaining game but the screen is becoming filled with unnecessary items, blocking the view of the game ### 2/5 — Gets annoying *2026-08-17, version 1.2.574* After a while you fill up your warehouse and you will never be able to empty it enough to carry on. Then you are stuck and nowhere to go but spend lots of money. ### 3/5 — Good game *2026-07-28, version 1.2.574* Can get frustrating waiting and would seems u would need to pay to make any kind of progress also far too many promotions cover the screen ### 3/5 — Not bad *2026-07-14, version 1.2.574* Not bad, slow progressing, hard to get some items you need to level up or create new parts of territory but helps pass time. ### 2/5 — Too Many Sale Icons *2026-07-13, version 1.2.574* There are so many icons on either side of the screen pushing to sell something and watch videos (you can only see directly in front of you because there’s so many). And then pop-ups appear selling tons of different things… Literally! Too bad but it got really old really fast. ### 4/5 — Interesting *2026-06-18, version 1.1.555* Plays well levels bring more ### 4/5 — Enjoyable game *2026-06-16, version 1.1.555* Easy to progress if you don’t want to spend money and don’t mind grinding ### 3/5 — FTP but annoying *2026-06-04, version 1.1.555* It’s fun for a week but the attempts to get a player to pony up for upgrades is gross. ### 4/5 — Not too bad if you have patience *2026-06-01, version 1.1.555* Easy to play, but unless you are willing to spend then you need patience. Not spent anything and still playing but it does take ages to develop. ### 4/5 — Rate *2026-05-30, version 1.1.555* Fun, but hate the constant Ads. Wish I could pay a onetime fee to never have to watch another inane Ad. ### 4/5 — Steam City *2026-05-29, version 1.1.555* I love this game. The only thing is the storage takes a while to increase unless you pay for it. ### 3/5 — Good *2026-05-29, version 1.1.555* Wish they stop trying to get you to buy stuff all the time but really good game ### 5/5 — Very fun *2026-05-27, version 1.1.555* Very fun ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-05-17, version 1.1.555* Very engaging keeps you busy ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fun game, but broken ads made me uninstall *2026-09-08, version 1.2.584* I actually liked playing Steam City and was enjoying the game, but I ended up uninstalling it because of the ads. Three separate times I watched a full rewarded ad and then there was no X or close button to get back into the game. The only way out was to force close the app, which defeats the whole point of watching the ad for a reward. After the third time, I was done. It’s a shame because I genuinely liked the game, but ads that trap you and won’t let you return to gameplay are unacceptable. Fix the broken ad system and I’d consider coming back. ### 1/5 — I came back! *2026-07-24, version 1.2.574* I am sorry to say I have dropped my star rating to 1😞again!!! I was hoping to continue enjoying the building aspects of the game, but I do not like being hounded for $ multiple times every time I open the game. Also, I do not like you controlling where I go in the game. I thought I should be playing for my enjoyment, not your agenda! That is how it feels to play your game. I also do not enjoy the direction the game is going in - into warfare x combat! I do not like anything to do with war, so, sadly my days playing your game will come to an end if this is what you dictate! Please respond if I can play without being forced in this direction. Thankyou. An unhappy player! ☹️☹️☹️☹️ ### 1/5 — Bugs, crashes and overcharge *2026-07-14, version 1.2.574* I started playing this game a week or so ago, and initially I thought that it was great. I paid for several add-ons to be able to play the game without frustration, and was happy until the bugs started. I was kicked out multiple times out within a day as the server was being reset loosing my progress, multiple features were not functioning correctly, meaning I was having to repeat costly actions. Furthermore, I wasn’t able to access parts of the game, including items I had stored as the buttons weren’t accessible (responsive design - basics right??). Honestly - good as this game looks, in my opinion, the developer seems to me like an amateur not interested in customer experience but take the money. I recommend to avoid paying for add-ons for the foreseeable future to avoid experiencing similar issues. ### 1/5 — Pay to win garbage *2026-05-13, version 1.1.555* The premise sounds fun, but the money grabs are so blatant that you really cannot succeed without paying to advance. Everything you do will result in an ad to pay for advancement. It is pay to win garbage. Do yourself a favor and just skip it. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-05-10, version 1.1.555* I had it before redownloading it niw i remember why i dumped king george keeps telling what to buy or upgrade its my city to build ### 1/5 — Game is trash *2026-05-02, version 1.1.555* This game is a straight money grab. They give you minimal goods but you need maximum tokens. This game is fun for a few days only. Then they shake you down. Go play Sim City not this grift ### 1/5 — Awful game that’s no fun *2026-04-09, version 1.1.541* This game has TOO MANY features and every one of them has a way for them to make money. I understand that’s how these games work, but this one takes it to an extreme. The team I joined didn’t speak or interact in any way. I couldn’t figure out how to leave the team, so I just quit the game. The game was not that different than a thousand others out there. I couldn’t even bear to give it two stars, because I couldn’t come up with anything I liked. They are trying to do WAY too much and their “helpers” that explain are just annoying. None of it is done well or entertaining. ### 1/5 — Trash cheap game *2026-04-05, version 1.1.541* This game is trash. Cheap rewards and unreachable quests combine to make this a busted, money-grabbing waste of time. ### 1/5 — Too greedy *2026-04-04, version 1.1.541* This game could be rated with 5 stars, had it not been such an obvious money grabbing game. Certain things you simply HAVE to buy with real money. Sad, because in itself the game has a good concept and was fun to play for a couple of hours. After that, not so much. Too bad. ### 1/5 — Error, not receiving items *2026-03-28, version 1.1.541* In-app purchases are currently broken. I have been charged multiple times and received nothing. The app shows a verification error (“IOS_no_transaction”) and this is happening across multiple apps from the same developer. Support links in the app do not work. Do NOT spend money here until this is fixed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Steam city *2026-08-08* Very good addictive game ### 5/5 — Lurch *2026-08-05, version 1.2.574* Fantastic game, great graphics, can be played both as buy your future and build your future (at no cost) patience is the key…well worth your time investment. ### 5/5 — 마음의 안정을 게임에서 찾아보아요~ *2026-08-01* 과금하지 않고 길게 본다고 생각으로 게임하면 마음이 편하네요 ㅎ 늦게 시작해서 이벤트들이 많지만, 과금에 흔들리지 않고 천천히 키우는 재미로 해보기에는 좋은 게임입니다! **Developer response:** Thank you for the wonderful review!

The ads show the actual game just with a different layout. Beautiful game! ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2026-07-03, version 1.1.555* Love this game ### 5/5 — Relaxing *2026-06-26, version 1.1.555* Gives me some time to deload ### 5/5 — Boa qualidade. *2026-06-24* Excelente diversão. ### 5/5 — Лучшая игра *2026-06-18* Классная игра. Давали бы больше донатов как вознаграждение, было бы вообще замечательно ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2026-06-02, version 1.1.555* I love this app. The flow is great and challenging. Never boring ### 5/5 — Супер *2026-06-01, version 1.1.555* Игра мощная --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
