A comfortable playground is with you in the fairly large construction site. How to play? Our game consists of various missions and there are many different sections. When you first start the game, you will learn very easily which button does what with the learning mode. Drive the crane in our game and go to the area where the load you will carry. Then, approaching the cargo where the OK mark is on, raise the crane on the hydraulic legs. Align the boom with the red dot on the cargo by controlling the winch boom with the buttons. If you have, a green button will appear in the middle of the buttons on the right of the screen. When you press this button, the cargo will be attached to the crane with a rope. After the cargo or load is tied with a rope, take the load to the desired green area with the buttons. When you bring the load to the green zone, you will get rid of the ropes by pressing the red button that appears. Here is the task done. Other chapters will not be so easy. We have no doubt that you will like our Heavy Crane Simulation game! :) Have fun, have fun playing games.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Construction Simulator PRO at 4.4 against Heavy Crane Simulator's 3.0. Construction Simulator PRO also leads on ratings volume (264 vs 8) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Heavy Crane Simulator's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Construction Simulator PRO holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Construction Simulator PRO has 264 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Construction Simulator PRO's written reviews are positive against 43% of Heavy Crane Simulator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Construction Simulator PRO ships an update fortnightly, Heavy Crane Simulator every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
