Great game but needs lots more features – Pocket City Review

An excellent city simulator that harkens back to the days of SimCity. And the buy-once model is a refreshing change (no in app purchases! Thank you!). That being said, the game gets boring after you’ve built on all available land. The tasks slow down substantially after level 80 or so and you’re stuck waiting around for new tasks. Most of which are boring (hunt around for a character doing a certain thing). The gameplay also grows stagnant. Why don’t zones get continuously denser as population increases and land gets scarce? Where is the feedback on how well our mass transit is doing (not just a map of traffic… let’s see hard numbers on how man riders etc). The game quickly becomes a matter of just balancing the budget (but sometimes there’s nothing you can really do but raise taxes and chase off a third of your population). The budget is very much feast or famine… either you’ll be raking in huge piles of cash (and have nothing to spend it on), or losing it all rapidly. All in all a fun game but the developer needs to work on making the game more robust as the levels increase. Currently it’s superficially fun but that wears off rather fast.
