Product description
In Cities in Motion, four of the greatest cities on earth—Vienna, Helsinki, Berlin, and Amsterdam—are rendered in exquisite detail and awaiting the steady hand of a planner to manage their transportation requirements.
You must handle everything from buses, trams, and subway trains to meet commuters' evolving needs between 1920 and 2020 while maximising earnings.
Key Features
- Vienna, Helsinki, Berlin, and Amsterdam are just four cities you can visit.
- Play a campaign with 12 scenarios in a sandbox mode that lets you control all the campaign cities.
- More than 100 distinctive, highly detailed structures are featured in realistic 3D visuals.
- Using the sophisticated map editor, design your city.
- From 1920 to 2020, you can experience 100 years of transportation history through four eras in Cities in Motion.
- Choose from more than 30 different vehicles, all of which provide an underground view and are modelled by actual buses, trams, water buses, helicopters, and subways.
- Experience a real-time city and traffic simulator as the busy population of each area travels to and from their homes, workplaces, and leisure destinations.
Gameplay
You are in charge of transportation in a big European city in Cities in Motion, much like Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Still, instead of revolutionising bridge construction with an awesome beard, you are limited to fiddling with buses, excavating tunnels, and staring at graphs. You first place route stops before designing and purchasing the vehicles for five different types of vehicles—buses, trams, metros, ferries, and helicopters.
- Sadly, only the city map layout changes based on the time period and city you are playing in. You can explore four of them—Amsterdam, Vienna, Berlin, and Helsinki—during four different periods, from the 1920s to the 2020s.
- Several straightforward scenarios and a campaign option transport you across various maps throughout the 20th century.
- The Euro jazz-techno music, the meticulous attention to city life, the genuinely great traffic system, and the amount of data squirrelled away to remind you that someone has lavished love on this.
- Colossal has captured the style of central European cities, and it's thematically consistent and a welcome change from Sim City or Cities XL.
However, there are significant obstacles for aspiring urban planners: even on the most superficial Level, it might be difficult to avoid going bankrupt when adjusting your layout. Because the buses are unreliable or gas prices are high, a route is costing you money. Interminable graphs, charts, and statistics can be used to solve problems if you take a moment to think about them, but doing so can be expensive. Bus replacement and increased maintenance are pricey, but losing a route means losing your investment and upsetting consumers. To increase ticket rates and make the newest bus models more affordable, you could want to wait till the economy improves. Alternatively, you might want to change your route to pass through a neighbourhood with a different social class.
