This game is so worth the money I paid for it, which by the way wasn't much.

I'll just copy my Steam review below.

Brilliant in its simplicity!

(though really not as easy as it looks)

This is the type of game that maxes out value for money. You can keep coming back to it over and over. I'm sure I'll get tired of it at some point, but I also know that at some point in the future I would start playing it again. It's got that "one more time" kind of quality.

Combines creativity with strategy. Challenging but well balanced.

In case you didn't get the gist of it yet, I highly recommend this game.

And here's the Steam store page...

It seems like a fairly simple idea, yet an interesting twist on the two genres.

I have to add some criticism.

The constant having to send police, medical and fire copters to the riotting folk and such is bloody annoying. It takes away from the main goal of the game which is obviously to use your creativity to build as tall a structure as possible. There are plenty of hurdles to overcome without having to deal with the little people.

When you exit and save your game and you come back to it the next time, sometimes the stable structure you had built before is suddenly unstable. This is quite aggravating.

There is not a proper save function to begin with. You can only load the last game you played and only at the point where you left it last.

Griffork: I'm back! Just saw the trailer of Masters of Albion and it's a godgame! Immediately thought of this forum and decided to visit. Aug 21, 2024 7:51:22 GMT

Griffork: Sorry for being away for so long. The job I had at the beginning of the year seems to be having a full-blown melt-down (and I got caught in it). I'm now at a new place but the new job has been a very hectic learning experience (yay for being on R&D!) Aug 21, 2024 7:55:26 GMT

Lord Ba'al: He is indeed at it again. I read a few lines from some article saying he took something from this game and something from that game and something from yet another game and put it all together. Aug 21, 2024 17:34:06 GMT
