Skytropolis

[h1] If you like Sim Tower, you'll like this game! [/h1] I took the gamble and decided to snag this game on launch. I enjoyed Sim Tower when I was younger but wondered what it looked like from the people's point of view. Now with Skytropolis, I can in VR! [b] Graphics/Performance [/b] The game has clean graphics, probably to reduce the amount of processing when there are a lot of objects in view. Even with my GTX1080, I still experienced some judders and slow framerate when a bunch of stuff was in view. I was running on the beautiful setting though which I'll adjust next session. The style is very minimalist but works well. The people are silhouettes but I wish they had some sort of smiley or sad face on them to gauge how the general population feels. I also wished they would interact with the recreational buildings like seeing tennis players on the tennis court. If you like to min max your floor layouts, you'll have a hard time squeezing your head between the chunks of buildings y...

Loved it, been waiting for something like this in VR. The idea of the roomscale skyscraper makes so munch sense given your playspace. More complex and detailed than i expected. a couple of glitches but otherwise good. Great job!

Adorable city builder which really shines in VR roomscale setup (a sense that can't be conveyed from mere 2D screenshots). Being able to move around the city and scale it up and down as desired makes it feel like a very satisfying toybox, and you can zoom in and follow your people around, or walk around your city like a giant. I found the construction aspects the most satisfying as you get the sense of putting together a tower in virtual space. An appealing simulator which will appeal to those who are looking for a more relaxing, meditative VR experience. Great chill soundtrack too!

Gameplay Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kweZuOqI14Y&list=PLrpCFaqHnjdyiF-atoM9iZyYbUuDAvLr9&index=35&t=173s I'm a sucker for building games. This one just hit the right nerve for me. The VR control interface is very intuitive. It works really well with the VR setup, you walk around your tower place the buildings with your hand, easy peasy. The gameplay is simple but engaging. You bild up your floors, satisfy your inhabitants needs and unlock more and more different buildings, some of which actually are so tall, that they take up space on the floor above them. This makes the optimal placement of buildings a bit more of a challenge. Graphicly Speaking it has a "comic" look to it and it has alot of details. You can "zoom" in and look at the interrior of the buildings which is a nice touch. I think this is a pretty fun game and if one day you feel lazy and don't want to put on your VR gear and move around, you can just play it in desktop mode aswell. A good game, the price lo...

Great nastalgic memories of playing City Sim builders growing up. It would be awesome to have the fun natural disasters feature like Godzilla or Alien space ships destroying the city. Pre-built cities would be cool too.

I have been waiting a while for a game like this for VR and I was not disappointed. I was on the fence about this one at first but this game is exactly what I was hoping it would be: a sim city/sim tower-style management game that feels great in VR. I am hoping they make Rift/Touch-specific controls at some point (the time control menu feels a bit awkward) but as-is it works well enough that it does not detract much. There is a decent amount of content to work with and there are still some things I haven't unlocked. The goals and challenges really help with pacing so you pretty much always feel like you have something to work toward. I hope they continue to add and polish it going forward as it has a lot of potential but the core gameplay is solid as is. Overall: looks great, feels great, I'm having a blast!

This game checks a lot of boxes for me. when I first got a vive I was going into google blocks and building tiny low-poly cities out of bricks and making ugly trees - this game is very sim-tower-ish and you have to balance your residents desires and make something that's not ugly. the team appears responsive thus far (review made within two weeks of launch) if you like building towers and organizing things, you might enjoy this game. very fun design/concept. love the art, they've got the underpinnings, but I'm thinking they need to work a bit on the informational interface with the player to inform them of a few things better. overall, definetly worth the buy, if you're hesitant, wait a month and come back to see if the dev's have kept the pace up. concept and technology is all there for a great game, so far very fun even with limited info. reading the help page (stickied to this discussion forum) is a must. experimenting and trying over is a given for the first few runs. soon you'...

Building on Monitor is good. in VR a bit confusing. Gets repetitive after a while.

I absolutely love this game. There is 1 SINGLE bug that's extremely common where the thing you're about to place is no longer attached to your controller and you either have to painstakingly select it again by clicking on it or select it from the tree of menus. It's not that big of a deal, but it's annoying after a while. Besides that small bug it's one of the most addictive and entertaining building games in VR that I own. It's incredibly and I truly recommend it.

Controls are just too painful to really make this an enjoyable game to play. Visuals are all right, concept is interesting, but ultimately just too rough and simplistic to be worth the asking price.
