    It’s a battery annihilator, especially with the graphics settings turned up, and it needs some balance tweaks – casual mode offers no challenge, while hard and expert are possibly a little too slow burn – but this is the nearest we’ve ever been to a proper touchscreen city builder.

    Some rules in Pocket City are frustratingly rigid, while others are so easy to work around that they feel game-breaking. These inconsistencies ultimately make for a game that only stays enjoyable up to a limit. Although there is a pretty fun progression to the game, you never feel like you have the full freedom to make the city you want. Instead, you always feel like you have the freedom to make the kind of city that nobody wants, which is not particularly satisfying.

    In un mare sconfinato di giochi mobile che richiedono il collegamento ad internet e sfruttano microtransazioni, Pocket City si presenta come un gestionale esclusivamente single player.

    Durante il gioco avremo alcune missioni/obiettivi da completare, oltre allo stimolo di salire di livello per realizzare strutture sempre migliori.
    Inoltre la cosa che più mi ha fatto piacere del gioco è che questo ha una fine, dopo la quale potremo proseguire o ricominciare, magari a difficoltà superiore o variando qualcosa.

    Forse troppo semplice sotto alcuni aspetti ma essendo un titolo mobile va più che bene. La versione premium costa poco e vale la spesa.

    Perhaps I am missing something, but there doesn't seem to be much depth to this game at all.

Too simplistic - city population may fluctuate, but it's not hard to make money to add to the budget. The buildings don't look abandoned - the disasters aren't difficult to recover from. It gets incredibly repetitive without any struggle to keep city afloat.… Full Review »
