Pixel Art City Building Simulator That Combines Retro & Modern-Day Features

If you are a fan of the city builder genre but Cities: Skylines and SimCity just don't do it for you anymore, here's a great upcoming game that might pique your interest. Check out Metropolis 1998, a pixel-art city-building simulator developed by Yesbox Studios that combines features from the 90s and 00s classics with modern elements, offering the ultimate city-building experience.

Metropolis 1998 promises a familiar gameplay loop in a retro setting, where players are tasked with designing buildings, fostering city growth, managing real-time traffic, and meeting the specific needs of citizens. Thanks to the modern state-of-the-art approach to traffic simulation, the game is capable of pathing around 100,000 people and vehicles, making your city look vibrant and inhabited.

Moreover, within the game, you'll have the ability to observe the interiors of your citizens' homes, featuring two camera modes: the classic isometric view and a top-down perspective. Unlike the conventional zone-based system, demand is now shaped by the specific needs of your citizens. As the mayor, you can allocate land and determine designated areas for businesses to open their doors.

You can learn more and try out the pre-alpha demo of Metropolis 1998 on Steam. Also, don't forget to join our 80 Level Talent platform and our Telegram channel, follow us on Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn, where we share breakdowns, the latest news, awesome artworks, and more.
