MEMORIAPOLIS is a simulation game. It is a city-building game that allows you to create and manage a city spanning over 2,500 years, from ancient times to the Age of Enlightenment. The game invites players to build a city that evolves through various historical periods, each presenting unique challenges and opportunities.  

In MEMORIAPOLIS, you start by laying the foundation of your city in Antiquity and guide its growth through different eras, making strategic decisions to ensure its success. As you progress, you’ll encounter new game mechanics with each age, requiring you to adapt your strategies.  

Master the ages 

In MEMORIAPOLIS, the choices you make can influence what happens next, adding a layer of depth to the gameplay. It stands out for its realistic city-building experience, thanks to a unique algorithm that helps you create historically accurate and visually stunning cities without worrying about road planning. You’ll also need to manage resources like farms, quarries, and administrative centers to meet the needs of your citizens. 

Historical events, such as the Black Death, and internal challenges, like riots, add tension and difficulty, making your decisions crucial to the survival and growth of your city. One of the most exciting aspects is the ability to build famous Wonders like the Great Library of Alexandria and the Palace of Versailles. These structures also help you achieve the title of Capital of Capitals. 

The game also offers a variety of cultural paths, allowing you to replay the game with different strategies. However, the game’s depth and the variety of mechanics introduced in each era might be overwhelming for new or casual players. Balancing resources, citizen needs, and historical events can be challenging, potentially leading to frustration for players who prefer a more relaxed experience. 

Minor and major changes in V1

MEMORIAPOLIS V1 offers major changes shaped by early access feedback. The interface has been completely redesigned, offering a modern look that’s easier on the eyes. Art direction also takes a bold turn, swapping cel shading for a watercolor and architectural style. It adds elegance and depth, though players can revert if they prefer the original visuals.

You’ll guide your city through five distinct ages: Antiquity, Middle Ages, Renaissance, Enlightenment, and Industrial Revolution. Each age demands new strategies and leadership styles, requiring adaptability. Culture mechanics also receive a major overhaul. Culture points are replaced by cultural characters, each with missions tied to their background. They influence production, diplomacy, and faction dynamics, and more.

The downtown phase is gone, now replaced by a family house you’ll establish in every new age. Cultural buildings have also been reworked—they’re more visible, more varied, and evolve across eras. Alongside these major updates are a number of smaller fixes and improvements, all contributing to a smoother, more refined gameplay experience.

From antiquity to enlightenment 

MEMORIAPOLIS is both engaging and deeply strategic. It combines elements of city-building with historical progression, allowing players to craft and evolve a city across 2,500 years, from Antiquity to the Age of Enlightenment. The game is immersive, with each era introducing new challenges, opportunities, and mechanics that require thoughtful decision-making. As you build and manage your city, you’ll need to balance resource management, citizen needs, and historical events.
