I've played for hundreds of hours at work on my phone before buying on steam for my pc at home and it's amazing. Simple moving over from Cities Skyline with control similarities, it has all the same mechanics plus more. I love having riots. I love having the airports and military base and all the aspects of the game without having to pay insane dlc prices, plugins another add on. I feel Skylines mods are just annoying to do this is quick and simple. It's everything Cities Skyline is and isn't in a great way and in a different unique style that I appreciate more.

TheoTown: A Masterpiece of Creative Freedom TheoTown stands out as a remarkable city-building game, especially considering the development team consists of only two developers. Primarily developed by one person since 2015, TheoTown has evolved into an impressive game. The initial graphics work by theotheoderich, along with contributions from many others over the years, has significantly contributed to its success. Initially designed for Android, the UI may appear somewhat outdated . However, hotkeys effectively address this limitation, allowing players to move away from the mouse once they become accustomed to them. At first glance, the pixel art style and graphics engine might seem antiquated, but this simplicity empowers players with immense creative freedom through the use of plugins . Plugins: The Heart of TheoTown Plugins are the cornerstone of TheoTown, offering players unparalleled customization. Creating plugins is surprisingly straightforward, requiring only isometric designs and simple JSON files. Alternatively, the Plugin Creator tool is available for those not familiar with JSON, allowing them to utilize their isometric designs easily. Players can introduce virtually anything imaginable into the game , ideally using isometric pixel art. Limitless Possibilities The possibilities are truly limitless, ranging from banks with financial systems to virtual museums showcasing personal collections. Players can even replicate real-world buildings or entire cities on a scale of their choosing. The complexity of a plugin directly correlates with the required skills and knowledge. While creating a plugin for a pack of buildings is relatively simple, developing a plugin featuring pirate ships engaging in battles demands expertise in both graphic design for animation frames and logic programming for functionality. Despite varying levels of complexity, TheoTown welcomes anyone with a passion for game modding. The game's supportive community encourages creativity and innovation, fostering a thriving environment for plugin development. A Game Like No Other TheoTown stands as a testament to the power of creative freedom in gaming. With its intuitive plugin system and supportive community, TheoTown empowers players to shape their cities in ways that few other games can match. If you're seeking a city-building experience with boundless possibilities, TheoTown is an essential addition to your Steam library.

I might be addicted. A purchase I definitely don't regret. A game that is easy to learn and quite challenging to master. I can definitely see myself pouring hundreds of hours into TheoTown. Only issue is that the Online Regions with Sandbox off can easily be exploited with custom plugins that add buildings with maximum populations of 100,000,000,000... Apart from that, the game is close to perfect. Sorry if this review is really detailed.

My go to game on PC, play it whilst listening to things all kinds of things. Its just like Sim City 2000 but more up to date, good little mod plugin thingy built in. I've played alot of city builders and If I could play only one it would be this. (mobile version was good too)

They have an online mode to build a city together! If you're looking for a simple and relaxing city-building simulation game, TheoTown is your answer. [H3]Review : About Description Gᴀᴍᴇᴘʟᴀʏ TheoTown is a city-builder simulation game that is so simple, even a 5-year-old kid can play it, unlike me struggling at 8 with old SimCity. What do I expect, even babies in the belly have phones these days. what a world we're living in. If you're looking for a non-chaotic city simulation and has it own generated seed map that doesn't feature fast growth like many other games, this game has its own approach. It doesn't have much depth to dive into. it's so simple that even managing demands like commercial, industry, or any other zone makes no sense. If you let your game run on its own, you'll have no worries about demand or complaints because it runs on its own. Honestly, playing this game makes me want to revisit Cities: Skylines since SimCity 5 isn't available on Steam, which is too bad. Again, not that TheoTown is bad. it just has its own thing, but the lack of depth makes me question the waiting time for your city to grow, which takes too long and isn't worth the wait. Gʀᴀᴘʜɪᴄ I have no complaints about pixel graphics, unlike many people who grew up with PlayStation and mock pixel graphics while enjoying pixelated blur on porn. To be honest, TheoTown's graphics are completely good, and the numerous color palette options give the game a different look. Mᴜʟᴛɪᴘʟᴀʏᴇʀ Like my title suggests, you can play this game online, where you can upload your region and share it with the public or your friends. If I remember correctly, this game is also available on the phone, though I'm not sure about cross-platform compatibility because I'm into PC. On the phone, you need to pay to upload your region, but in the PC version, there's this weird invincible coin. You get one each time you run the game every day, and if you reach a certain amount of coins, you can upload your region, and people can join and build a city together. Cᴏɴᴛʀᴏʟ Played with mouse and keyboard Pʟᴀʏᴛɪᴍᴇ I've almost reached 10 hours, perhaps it depends on your taste. I played this game longer on mobiles once. Sorry, HLTB has no further data on this, but hey, it's a city builder game, so why bother with playtime. Sᴛᴏʀʏ Well, it's just you as a mayor building your cities, raising taxes, and not caring about public services. It feels like my goverment who raises taxes without adding public services for the people, only caring about high-income zones and providing more services to the rich zones. Sad. PC ᴘᴏʀᴛ Tested OS Windows 10 Pro | 64 Bit, Version 22H2. Hardware CPU AMD Ryzen 7 5700G GPU NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 8GB RAM 16 GB DDR4 Performance Test • 60 FPS. • Run on SSD. • HD resolution. • CPU | low usage • GPU | Low Usage Game Optimization Usually, the fast-forward feature eats up many resources, but this game doesn't. That's a plus from me.

Bᴜɢ / 𝙲𝚘𝚖𝚙𝚕𝚊𝚒𝚗 • Slow population. demand seems so random in this game. • You can't build government buildings before reaching a certain population threshold. Dang governors only intervene and start collecting taxes when a city becomes successful on its own, not by their help. so asian. • Transportation doesn't really have depth. it's just random vehicles spawning on the road. I tried making a single long road with one house, and the road spawned like 50 vehicles on that road alone, with no apparent purpose. Now you know how simple this game is. ⓘ Build ID 13134509 DLC Glad it wasn't Paradox or EA. both those developers seem equally greedy to one another. Exᴛʀᴀ [VALVᴱ] Suggested Region Price Correct : 9 Cheaper : 29 Overprice : 2 Overal score : 8.3/10 (The reason why i bought this game) Community Health ✗ Toxic ✗ Moderator/Developer Problem Note : If you want that old SimCity nostalgic gameplay, pick this game. Oᴘᴘɪɴɪᴏɴ For those who love relaxing games, this game was too relaxing for me. The weird demand mechanics were pretty hard to predict, especially when you wanted to build a specific building and needed to reach a certain population. It makes you feel forced to play on sandbox difficulties. Rᴇᴄᴏᴍᴍᴇɴᴅᴇᴅ? Yes.
