This game looks like it would be great…if it worked
Waste of money. It looks like they made great strides to update the amazing original all to put out a game that crashes so often it is unplayable. And considering it looks like they haven’t fixed it in over a year, it is hard to believe they ever will.
Watching a Raccoon more than anything else
This is a fun game, when it works. In the past ten minutes of trying to play, I’ve spent eight minutes loading the city and watching g a strolling raccoon. Have only had the game a few days, and it is a good time, but the crashing is exceptionally annoying. Enough, I thought I’d write a review.
I loved this game when it worked
I was having fun playing this game, building my city, trying out the free roam features, even sharing screenshots with my fellow middle-aged friends because I found it so delightful. And then I reached level 90 and it stopped working. It crashed with greater frequency after only minutes of play. I tried uploading my city, deleting and reinstalling the app, then downloading the city. The download worked, but now the game crashes immediately. What a disappointment.
amazing app but glitch?
Horribly glitchy on iPad. The circle control to move vehicles or yourself will move halfway off the screen, so you can’t turn left. The camera view when flying will spin in a circle even if you don’t touch anything. The high rails disappear. The options to visit places like the police station or pet adoption clinic disappear. I either have to refresh the app or click on the person through the mayor tab to visit them. This app was once really good and I still love it. But it is frustrating.
Not very detailed gets old after a bit
I really like this game but there are barley any enterable buildings which makes the game really bland after a while and survival mode has the opportunity to be fun with the fast pace and challenge but it feels really unfair and pretty much impossible to get any of the unlocks in survival mode i do love free roam and the wide range of buildings that can be built but for a 5 dollar mobile game i expected a bit more detail really all i want is for survival mode to be slightly less strict with time and the airport,mega airport and mega mall to be enterable that would make the game way more fun,great and fair then it already is in my opinion.
Good game but I lost my save
The game is good and fun. I would have rated it a 4star but the bugs in the game are just as bad. 2star rating is because I tried to reinstall the game due to bug issues and I lost my save. It is so upsetting and frustrating that I had to pay and put in so much time into gameplay but yet my saved game file is not backed up. I want a refund and will not be wasting my time on this game anymore
Fun, but bad battery drain on iPhone 15 pro max
Edit: Trying the update now but 20% in 28min is just not ok lol
Awesome game but the battery draw is rough. I think it has to do with not catching some calculations together and animations with space ports. That, and said animations seem to occasionally crash the game on the latest iOS 17+ versions. Save frequently! Not sure why they got rid of import costs such as food and other materials, plus limit investment banks to 3 (I guess it could get op fast but so is already space rare ore with the perk). Playing on expert and it feels rather easy.

This game has a future
This is probably one of the best games I’ve played in a longgg time I would purchase this game on console! This game despite having a few crashes (which can be easily fixed by tweaking your video settings) has a very big future and with constant updates I feel like it could be an award winning project!
