A simple economic strategy game by NimbleBit, developed for mobile devices. The game starts in an empty area, where you have to build a prosperous metropolis from scratch. There are three main districts of the city: residential, service, and business. In each of them, you build unique buildings, which can be further developed. Moreover, you have to ensure the city is sufficiently busy by buying cars, ships, and planes.
Bit City is an economic strategy game that deals with the construction of cities. The game uses the freemium model and was developed by NimbleBit studio, known for such titles as Tiny Tower, Tiny Tower Vegas, Pocket Planes and Pocket Trains.
Mechanics
The game is following the formula adopted by the developer's previous titles. So we are dealing with a simplified economic strategy, which is more about the joy of building than about balancing profits and investments.
We start the game on an empty field, where we have to build a vibrant metropolis. The city offers three types of neighborhoods - residential, business and service sector, each with its own unique buildings, which we can then improve. In addition, we also need to buy cars, ships, and planes that provide traffic on the map.
The constructed buildings bring regular profits, enabling for further expansion and improvements.Bit City has a lot of clicker mechanics in it because the game was designed so that almost all the time we have something to do, but at the same time achieving success requires mainly patience. It is difficult to spoil the virtual economy and the devs have made sure that the game is relaxing.
Fun is driven by the mission system. On each map, we have specific tasks to complete, and after achieving them we move to new areas and start from scratch.
Technical aspects
Unlike other games of the developer, Bit City shows the action from isometric perspective. The devs focused on attractive three-dimensional visuals implemented in a simple, but very impressive style, using mainly bright single-color planes. Thanks to this, observing the development of the city is a real pleasure.
