We recently spoke to you in an article about the different alternatives that exist to a saga as well known as The Sims. A title that, if not all, practically anyone who is fond of games will have heard of. But there is a part of this saga, or rather a parallel saga with a similar name, which we have not yet talked about. Today we show you some of the best alternatives to SimCity , the city building simulator.
Alternative games to SimCity
It is true that this game was not as successful as the mother saga of The Sims. Even for its developers it was a surprise to see how having other games with the same base name, and sharing that part of life simulation in different sections, did not work as well. Even with these, SimCity has been a great game that many users who enjoy this genre have liked, watching their cities go from being small towns to a set of huge buildings, shops, roads and industries.
If you were looking for a game that allows you to relive this experience, read on for the main SimCity alternatives that you can play on your PC, game console and even on your mobile phone .
Cities: Skylines
The first alternative and, of course, the best known within the sector is Cities: Skylines . This game allows us to build, manage and plan the course of a city from scratch. We will have to acquire land that can vary between plains to a mountain landscape or a coastal area. Each of these possible scenarios will have a series of resources that are characteristic and different from the others that, in the long run, will mark part of the destiny of our civilization.
This time, Cities: Skyline will be available on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch .
Tropic 6
Trópico 6 is the most current installment in a series of games that have also been very successful among users who are looking for the SimCity experience but with different overtones that make it “more fun”. In this game we will play the role of a dictator who will have to make the cities of an archipelago prosper. How will we do this? Well, through tourism, the exploitation of resources or even making use of the nuclear sector. You will be able to play the classic version, in which we will take this archipelago from the colonial era, through wars and confrontations, to the modern era. Although you will also have the opportunity to dedicate yourself to campaigning and their fun missions.
This game is available on: PC, PS4 and Xbox One . So if you want to rule these islands as the sole inquisitor, check it out.
Megapolis
Moving now to a somewhat simpler and reduced version, we have the Megapolis game. A title that we can have both on our PC and on our smartphone , hence it is somewhat simpler than the rest.
You will have to manage your city so that it looks its best and receive profits to continue investing in its development. Of course, keep in mind that the terrain is much more limited than in other games, a vital detail to figure out how your game will progress.
Anno 2205
Anno 2205 is the latest installment in this saga that many have loved. This time the study leaves out the multiplayer to focus on a campaign that may be a bit dense at first and that, little by little, will become more complicated. It is true that the developers have put a lot of interest in that all the information necessary to understand how civilization develops, and its three totally different scenarios, evolve little by little. But, even so, if you decide to try it, go little by little and try to keep the details of the game’s management. This time, Anno 2205 is an exclusive title for PC .
Cities XL Platinum
Games dedicated to city management are divided into those that give greater possibilities in the area of resource management, and those that focus more on flexibility when building them. In the case of Cities XL Platinum, it focuses more on this second aspect, to the point that it is considered the one with the greatest possibilities when it comes to developing them. It is true that it has not undergone too many modifications in recent years but, in this latest installment you will have a large number of alternatives if what you enjoy the most is the section of the preparation of your city. Once again, this title is exclusive to PC gamers .
These are the 5 best alternatives of the SimCity saga . If you know of any other interesting titles, it would be very interesting if you could leave them to us in a comment so that all of us who are passionate about city management and development games discover it.
