Nice little city builder with a Chinese theme. Charming art, but sometimes frustrating interface. I would buy again.

This is a great game! I really enjoy this genre of game and the story mode was a fun challenge to play through. I had never heard of the Song Dynasty before this game and it has been a fun way to learn more about Chinese history. My only critic is that some of the text is hard to understand, but that is understandable since I believe the developers are Chinese. It also appears that they are still updating the game and have made improvements to this since I started playing.

great game but!....please change the names back to chinese names in the english translation. Dennis and Alexander in ancient china ? 游戏非常好玩,但是!……请在英文翻译中把名字改回原来的中文名。在古代中国背景的游戏里,怎么会出现“丹尼斯”(Dennis)和“亚历山大”(Alexander)这样西方现代的名字?这太让人出戏了,非常不符合历史背景。希望团队能优化一下英文版的本地化翻译,谢谢!

Thriving City: Song is a beautifully crafted city builder that effortlessly brings the rich history and vibrant culture of the Song Dynasty to life. The game masterfully balances deep, engaging management mechanics—such as balancing complex supply chains and maintaining social stability—with a stunning, ink-wash painting aesthetic that makes simply watching your city grow an absolute joy. Its immersive atmosphere is perfectly complemented by a traditional, soothing soundtrack, making it an incredibly rewarding and relaxing experience for any fan of the strategy and simulation genres.

This is a nice game. It has several game modes and allows you to try multiple play styles. It also has many interesting game elements that separate it from typical 2D city builders. It has a unique, cultural backstory and the graphics are very cute. There are a couple of bugs that can be quite annoying. The seasonal theme songs occasionally get stuck on a loop. The counter that is supposed to keep track of vagrants, often doesn't display accurate information.
