Top-down city simulation games have been popular since the release of SimCity since it was first introduced as far back as 1989. Players can now enjoy an updated version that is quite similar in terms of functionality.

Building a City One Structure at a Time

City Play Desktop allows players to take on the role of a city planner. The primary goal is to create housing so that more residents are attracted to the environment. There are more than 80 unique types of structures to choose from and each of these is associated with its own physical characteristics. A handful of retail stores are also available. The revenue from these can be used to funnel back into even larger projects.

The Unpredictable Nature of Artificial Intelligence

City Play Desktop employs artificial intelligence and this will add an unexpected twist to the gameplay. Residents will come and go in surprising patterns. There can even be instances when natural disasters need to be dealt with. Such a sense of realism was not present in previous simulation platforms, so users will need to stay on their toes.
