Sept. 2025

It absolutely ravages through your pc with performance issues at times but beside that and some balance issues, it's a good game. It's not breaking any new grounds with gameplay mechanics. It's a city builder in its core with a pretty cool world built around it. You're limited to building on cliffs and the more time goes by the more you unlock. Things like building on the side of the cliffs or below it. Really makes you plan ahead on how your cliff will look like as you can't really pick up a building to place it somewhere else. Now I do agree it's somewhat soulless when there aren't people exactly moving about since bulding streets are shockingly expensive and take up valuable space. Still do recomend it mostly for the fact the game is dirt cheap for the content and the developer(s) have been updating this game every once in a while with cool new content or bug fixes.

After 5 years and 500 hours, I finally feel compelled to review this game. Excellent. Cliff Empire is a unique and compelling mix of resource management, logistics, and base building. It is not perfectly balanced in every aspect, and success often depends on specific build sequences, but the experience is consistently rewarding. The visual styling, soundtrack, and overall artistic composition are stunning. It feels like retro-futurism imagined from a future years past, and I love it. If you enjoy city-builders and resource management, this game deserves a place in your collection.

July 2025

My favorite city builder I've ever played. The amount of content and interest here for $15 is so great. I feel like other publishers are charging over $100 for the same level of content with DLC packs. The game is visually and audibly stunning, even in 2025. Store screenshots can't capture the attraction and smoothness. Also, You can turn off the lady announcing "Trading platform arrived." every two minutes. Its a check box in options. After that, its zen.

I can't believe I haven't given a rating to this game yet. It is hands down one of my all time favourite city builders! The concept is unique, the visuals are stunning, the soundtrack is wonderful, the atmosphere and immersion are off the charts! You can tell how much absolute love was put into this game and it has concepts absolutely nothing else has, within this genre or outside of it. It also has feautres you would never think of and have never seen in any other game. It is a work of passion and I will be playing it forever, truly a gem which will be timeless and age gracefully. Support the dev, he deserves your money and your time, buy it, and have a drink on me later!

Feb. 2025

Love the game. It has a dystopian setting, with a utopian aesthetic, and the result is stunning. The only issue I have is the recent update to add exclaimation marks over buildings not receiving resources. For me, at least, it has a bit of an eyesore effect when trying to view and appreciate my city (I build in sandbox mode, white plains.) I would love to have the ability to turn this off in the options menu. The same goes for the priority display, which is insanely useful, but can feel like it's interrupting the experience when just trying to look at my creation for what it is. Would like to be able to turn the display on and off as needed.
