SimCity BuildIt

Announced a month ago by Electronic Arts, it is now available for all major mobile platforms SimCity BuildIt A strategy and management game that wants to bring the classic computer game to mobile phones SimCity Or, rather, its latest and criticized version, but respecting the standards and strategies seen in today's mobile games. A way to become mayor and manage from the construction of new urban areas to control of education, resources and over entire economy

Following the scheme of what was seen in the saga for computers, the player gets into the role of a incipient city, which have to start from scratch. With some basic resources such as money and materials, the player must start building different zones: industrial, commercial, and residential Little by little the city will grow and more citizens will decide to move to it, also demanding other not so basic services and complicating the mayor's existence. It will be time to choose what resources to use and invest in education, he alth, protection”¦ all of this without forgetting to please citizens in other ways, buildingparks, entertainment places, monuments, etc.

Of course, all this becomes a little more stressful considering that resources are very limited And it is necessary to manage them with different industries and businesses to be able to continue building and paying for all the services that are provided in the city. Which ends up giving the classic touch of management that so many millions of followers has achieved SimCity over the years. What is not so positive or addictive is that, like the rest of the games of this genre for mobile phones, the real time has a more than notable weight in the development of its mechanics.

Thus, apart from the scarce resources to build and pay suppliers we must take into account the times that this game requires for the construction of buildings A point that gives rise to introduce purchases in the application to be able to skip these times and thus be able to continue playing.If not, the alternative is to wait patiently and alternate periods of play and periods of waiting. But it is not the only reason to introduce purchases in this title. There is also the possibility to buy monuments and resources with real money to achieve improvements in the city or simply continue to grow despite not producing the necessary materials and resources .

The good thing is that SimCity BuildIt has a strong social component, allowing the user to use their account Facebook to contact and trade with friends who also play, yes, sending the annoying classic invitations of this social network.

In short, a game that surprises with its graphics and that offers the gameplay and sensations of the classic PC saga, although adapted to the mechanics of the mobile platform. SimCity BuildIt is developed for both Android and iOS devices , and you can download free, although with the aforementioned in-app purchases , via Google Play and App Store
