Creator of promising city builder greatly expands the game. Metropolis 1998 is set to deliver an even more advanced city simulation

by

Among the city-building games we’re eagerly anticipating this year is Metropolis 1998. This title will blend an isometric, pixel art aesthetic reminiscent of classics such as SimCity 2000 and SimCity 3000 with a contemporary simulation of a city and its inhabitants. If, like us, you share our excitement for this project, you’ll be intrigued to know that the demo of the game has recently received a significant update.

  1. The simulation of the city residents’ behavior has been greatly improved. Now they can do additional tasks and freely spend their free time on various activities. Previously, inhabitants could only eat, sleep, and work.
  2. The mechanisms related to supply and demand have also been revamped. A demand from residents for office spaces and industrial buildings was also included.
  3. Tasks for the mayor have appeared in the game, and completing them allows you to unlock extra elements.
  4. People from outside our metropolis can now come to the city for visits.
  5. We can also issue commands when the game is paused.
  6. Besides, the interface and road laying mechanics were improved, and a Micro Map mode was added. In the Micro Map mode, we can freely play on a small 10×10 map, without any imposed objectives.

You can now find the preview version of the game on Steam. It’s set to launch on PC as an early access release, providing a more comprehensive experience compared to a typical demo.
