City builders: about the games

Sid Meier's Civilization VI

A strategy game where you expand your empire, advance your culture and face history’s greatest leaders. Cities physically spread across the map and each district, wonder and improvement takes its own hex, so you can shape every city — from the Commercial Hub to the Spaceport. Active research in technology and culture unlocks new potential, the Civics tree yields new governments and cultural policies, and rival leaders follow their own agendas based on historical traits. You compete for one of five victory paths while diplomacy shifts from early clashes to alliances, city-state influence and espionage.

Cities: Skylines

Cities: Skylines is a modern take on the classic city simulation. As mayor you build a city from the ground up and balance education, water, electricity, police, fire fighting and healthcare along with a real economy, while citizens react to gameplay. It offers a detailed traffic simulation, the option to make parts of the city into districts with their own policies, and a day and night cycle that shapes residents‘ schedules – traffic is slower at night and some zones do not run at full efficiency. Extensive modding support lets you create and improve maps and structures and share them on Steam.

Frostpunk

Frostpunk is a simulation and strategy game about keeping a society alive in an entirely frozen world, where heat means life and every decision carries a cost. As ruler of the last city on Earth, the player manages both its citizens and infrastructure and uses steam-powered technology to resist the overwhelming cold. City and society management takes up most of the time, but at some point the player must explore the world outside. The player establishes laws that govern working routines, healthcare and food provision, and must keep the population’s hope and contentment up, since optimization and resource management often clash with empathy.

Jurassic World Evolution

The player is placed at the heart of the Jurassic franchise and builds their own Jurassic World. On the islands of the Muertes archipelago they run a park shaped by Science, Entertainment or Security interests, bioengineering dinosaurs with unique behaviours, traits and appearances. The creatures must be contained and made profitable to fund the search for lost dinosaur DNA, while espionage, breakouts and tropical storms threaten the park. Deep management tools sit alongside hands-on action on land and in the air, plus expandable islands and a narrative with iconic characters.

Planet Coaster

Planet Coaster is a theme park building and management simulation in which players construct coasters and rides piece by piece from over a thousand building components. The land itself can be reshaped – mountains raised, lakes formed, caverns dug, islands built in the sky – with tracks wound above and below ground. Each visitor is an expressive individual with their own interests and desires, so the crowd shows at a glance how well the park is run; players manage every aspect of the experience and can share their creations through the Steam Workshop community hub.

Anno 1800

Anno 1800 is a builder game set at the dawn of the Industrial Age and in the Victorian Era. The player turns quaint settlements into bustling cities and industrial complexes wrapped in smoke and smog, balancing technological progress against the needs of the population, from local pubs to exotic zoos. Optimising production chains and urban planning matters, as does putting electricity and steam engines to good use and weighing factory output against the happiness of workers. The player also collaborates with the press, launches daring expeditions and builds a trading network across distant lands.

The Settlers: New Allies

The Settlers: New Allies is a strategy game built around an in-depth settlement-building experience and real-time strategic battles. It was reimagined from the ground up, with new graphics and detailed animations. Players choose among three factions – the Elari, the Maru and the Jorn – each with its own look, playstyle and backstory. There is a story-driven campaign set in the world of The Settlers, a special Hardcore mode with additional challenges, and online skirmish battles for up to eight players against one another or against AI.

Tropico 6

El Presidente returns in Tropico 6. Players rule the island state of Tropico as a feared dictator or a peace-loving statesman, shaping the fate of their own banana republic across four distinct eras. For the first time in the series, players manage extensive archipelagos, build bridges and tunnels, and move citizens and tourists by taxi, bus or aerial cable car. Tropicans are sent on raids for world wonders, the palace can be customized, and election speeches are given from the balcony; research is revised around politics, and online multiplayer takes up to four players.

Tropico 4

Tropico 4 is a simulation strategy game in which you lead the island nation of Tropico as El Presidente. The world is changing: powers rise and fall, and new market players bring new demands while you must win over your people. You can elect selected citizens to ministerial posts to push through controversial decisions, and trade goods with other nations. Natural disasters such as volcanoes, droughts and tornadoes strike the island and bring new challenges.

Against the Storm

Against the Storm is a dark fantasy city builder in which you rebuild civilization amid apocalyptic rains. As the Viceroy charged by the Scorched Queen, you lead humans, beavers, lizards, foxes and harpies to reclaim the wilderness and build a network of settlements for the Smoldering City across a large world map. Each settlement must be held against recurring Blightstorms and the differing needs of each species. It is a roguelite, so resources, upgrades and experience from one expedition carry over to the next.

Terraformers

Terraformers is a turn-based strategy game about colony building and resource management, in which the player turns Mars into a green planet. Leaders explore mysterious locations with rich resource depots, giant crystal caves and natural wonders, founding cities in craters and lava tubes. At the start of each turn the player picks buildings from randomly offered project cards and plans city layouts to create synergies between them. The planet is procedurally generated, so every playthrough differs; geoengineering options include restarting a volcano, building giant space mirrors or nuking the poles.

Gord

Gord is a single-player adventure strategy set in a dark fantasy world inspired by Slavic folklore. You lead the Tribe of the Dawn into forbidden lands, completing quests that shape the personalities and wellbeing of subjects and the fate of the community. From a humble settlement you raise palisades and structures until your gord becomes a formidable fortress, while enemy tribes, gruesome monsters and mysterious powers threaten the populace. When the sanity of a settler reaches a critical point, they break down or flee; prayers may grant spellcasting, and pages from The Chronicle reveal the history of the world.
