A cautious yes. As an analogy: imagine you're present at the birth of Venus. Right now, all you can see is sea foam--but you know Venus is going to take form eventually. Similarly, the game as it stands is bare-bones, in some ways hardly a game and more a tech-demo for the city-building system, but the fundamentals of what makes the game unique are so wonderfully done, so well-implemented, that I'm willing to be astonished with what it develops into. So, no, at this point, I wouldn't argue that Memoriapolis is worth the money. Half the game just isn't there, the game ends after the second (of four) eras, and the second era has a number of buildings that have dependencies on unimplemented mechanics. There's a knowledge/"tech tree" system whose nodes are probably 75% non-operational. You can build walls (I think? I never actually bothered, but you're prompted to as an optional objective), but so far as I'm aware there are no raids or military implemented yet. And on and on. The game is actually rather easy just because there aren't many systems to balance. HOWEVER. HOW-EV-VER! This game has a FANTASTIC skeleton, and I don't mean that facetiously. The unique organic construction system--where you build no roads or houses, they're just sort of automatically pathed and blocked out--is, so far as I've been able to tell, pretty flawless. I've seen no evidence of "miszoning" or weird bugs or anything. It's smooth as butter. The faction system, too, works very well--it doesn't do much now, but that's a matter (I think) of slowly adding complexity as development goes on. There's only one map right now, but it's a pretty varied and interesting one, and I have no difficulty expecting we'll get more. The skeleton of this game--the reason it's set apart, the reason it works as uniquely and captivatingly as it does--work well, smoothly, and unobtrusively. Unless you're a big fan of city builders, I'm not sure I can recommend it *as it stands right now on November 1, 2024,* just because it has so far to go to flesh out that amazing, well-designed, well-implemented skeleton. I enjoyed playing it, I'll enjoy following it, and I'll enjoy (I'm fairly certain) what it'll develop into. But for most, it's just not there yet.

As an early access, this is overpriced. It's less than half of the intended game right now. They're planning on overhauling some of the systems in place too. As for what it is currently, it's got a nice soundtrack and an all around beautiful vibe. This is a very "hands off" simulator. You don't directly place roads or housing districts, the game does it for you based on other stuff you build. It's a refreshing change of pace as somebody that's played too many "place every single chair" style builder games recently. From looking at the forums, the dev seems committed to a vision that includes non-conventional design choices. For example, you'll get choked by resource storage at some point, with no option to build something like a warehouse to hold more resources, and the devs have said this is intentional.

What a promising city builder! The way this game fuses Civilization-esque ideas such as wonders and ages into a natural and sprawling city builder is just spectacular. City-building in Memoria Polis is easy to understand, and simple to work with. Yet at the same time, it doesn't feel like the game's playing itself for you. You are in control of how your city grows, but you don't have to worry about the fine details like road & traffic management. As you place down important buildings, the game will generate districts around them using the "Attraction" system. The more interesting buildings you setup in an area, the more people will want to live there. And slowly, these districts will fill with residential purposes in a way that feels natural. However, any unattractive, noisy, and disruptive buildings will detract from the attraction level of an area, causing fewer people to want to live there, and fewer districts to form. This system is organic and stands out from other city builders, making the gameplay of Memoria Polis feel truly special. Compared to other city builders, Memoria Polis has a very unique identity. The core idea is that the past shapes the future, hence the name. You can't destroy old cultural buildings or districts, but you can evolve and modernize them. The choices you make in earlier ages impact everything you do later on, and the passage of time is a very relevant mechanic. You only have a limited amount of time in each age. And as each age passes, old buildings will deteriorate, forcing you to spend resources to repair, and once repaired, evolve. This can be a pretty tedious mechanic in my opinion, as it slows down the momentum and excitement of entering a new age. This is especially true if you've built a lot of cultural buildings. Now the game does let you pick some key cultural buildings to save from deterioration as you enter a new age, and this number does scale depending on how many you've built. However, you can very quickly get to a point where there's too many to repair them all. And while this does kind of make sense given the game's theme, this aspect feels artificial considering the fact that the repair cost for buildings is much higher than it was to build them originally, even to the point where repairing's much more expensive than just building an equivalent building from the next age. But since you can't remove them (yet), they kind of just sit there as permanent stains on your city. The developers have stated they are open to the possibility of allowing circumstantial cultural building removal, but we'll have to see how that works out if implemented. This is only a minor issue, and it's not as bad in the game's endless mode as you get infinite time to repair your buildings. Despite the game having just come out recently, I've barely run into any bugs at all. It's way more polished than any of the other early access games I've had experience with, and I appreciate that. Currently, the game only has 2 of the 4 ages planned, and the 2nd age is missing some content like a wonder and a few buildings. But the developers are hard at work with the remaining ages and content revealed in a recent roadmap to be coming very soon. Endless mode does tend to crash occasionally, so make sure to save often. I have not experienced this issue in the game's regular mode. Memoria Polis feels great to play, especially since it's only in early access. And I'm very excited to experience the entire game once it fully releases, as well as each update along the way. 8/10

So ah... im kinda flaberghasted by this game. It came out of nowhere. Is it a city builder? yeah, kinda. is it like civ. well yes, in a way. Is it unique? absolutely! It has this sort of hypnotic relaxing quality along the lines of Dorfromantik, but also has an engaging system ballence dynamic like City Skylines, and yet also does bring in modifiers that are Civ like. While, at the time of writing, there is a major crash in chapter 2, and it also ends at chapter 2, this game has bones, and spirit, and i can tell it will soon have flesh. While distinct games, Manor Lords and Memoria have to be some of the neatest historical/sim/strat or should i just say, indie games to come out.

Nice game, but it’s not a traditional city simulator as one might expect. The design limits are restrictive, especially when it comes to roads and layouts, which are more for visual effect rather than functioning as real infrastructure. This feels more like a city governor simulator where you manage a map, similar to a 3D version of Microcivilization. The 3D aspect isn’t even necessary, it could have been a 2000s style browser game (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing). It can be enjoyable, but it wasn’t what I expected or what I’m primarily interested in.
