Skyscraper Simulator

who would play this for like more than an 10 minutes? who would even buy this. jesus christ, this game is the equivalent of staring at the wall, not to mention its free to stare at the wall.

my final opinion: 10/10 would stare at screen again

I was expecting the novelty of playing this game to be at least five minutes before I got bored and regretted my purchase.

I didn't even make thirty seconds.

I had to force myself to play this game for only 47 minutes.That's how you know this is a great game.

10/10 would depression again

Recently built a new computer and while installing my steam games, a greyed out name in the list reminded me how years ago I was tricked into buying this expecting a newer SimTower. It was long before steam refunds so I know I can't get my money back. But still, is there a way I can permanently remove this from my steam library anyway? Voluntarily? So I never have to see this game in the list ever again?

You may be tempted to buy it to see just how bad it is, it is only a few dollars after all. But be careful, because if you miss the window to refund it, you may find this garbage forever stuck in you list of steam games.

Not even entertainingly bad. I recommend you buy literally anything else.

To add insult to injury, you need to play a game for at least five minutes to write a review. I only had four minutes on record, and for good reason. I downloaded and installed this game just to let it run a few more minutes just for this.

The game didn't actually even start, hanging in one of the start screens for some sort of drm game code window which didn't properly pop up into view. So I let it show the black screen for a few minutes before alt+f4 and uninstalling hopefully for the final time.

In this game you can enjoy :

- Building the most beautiful beige red building you have ever layed your eyes upon.
- Losing all your money on the first skyscraper and never recover it.
- Spending 3 years on one building.
- Hiring efficient workers such as "Giga Fred" whom has a performance of "Adequate."
- Looking at your phone for 20 minutes while the game plays itself.
- Listening to the best one song soundtrack that the gaming industry has ever produced.
- It sounding like something you'd listen to in a russian danceclub after snorting cocaine off of a hookers clitoris.

I do not recommend this game. It has way too many bugs and visual glitches that it is almost unplayable and the gameplay is just sitting and watching the machines for multiple minutes.

0/10 Would not buy this game again

this game is like staring at the virtual version of watching the grass grow, if you needed a game that would put you to sleep then this is the game for you i payed for this game hoping for at least some enjoyment but oh no your not going to find that her the graphics look like they arent done by a proffesional artist it just looks like they took a map from google earth and stuck it on this game could only play the first 15 minutes of it before getting bored of this game.

I tried to like this game, but when my excavators stopped working at 97% excavation and nothing could get them working again, I just gave up and decided there's better things to do with my life, like playing Transport Tycoon.

This is the absolute worst game I've ever bought. As you can see on my record, it doesn't take very long to beat. And once you've beat it, there is nothing to do.

It is hardly worthy to be called a game, as it actually doesn't require you to take any decisions. There is no way to lose, or do bad in any situation.

This is a terrible game that you should not buy.

I bought this game to play with my 6 year old son, who loves construction vehicles and skyscrapers, and it's easy enough for him to play on his own. What little gameplay exists is very simple and repetitive; there is no escalation of difficulty at all, and hardly any variety. You're pretty much just going to watch skyscraper after skyscraper being built. It seems like there's potential for a much better game based on what's here, but as it is this doesn't feel complete. Still my son did get a kick out of it, so maybe a recommendation if you have small kids who love construction vehicles, but otherwise this just isn't a very good game.

There I was, as a new Steam user who couldn't afford something like SimCity. When I saw this game, thought it could be a good micromanagement simulator, but it started to drive me crazy even before the gameplay because I couldn't launch it (actually I spent more time trying to make it work than playing the game). There's no strategy in it, it's a one way road where there's a right path, and everything different will result in game over. And when the "road" is just twiddle sliders, most people will get bored within less than 10 minutes. I don't blame who greenlighted it (because I think I would too), but it's the first game which made me want my money back.

I cannot stress this enough, please do not buy this game. It is duller than the dullest knife that has been sharpened by hitting it on a blunt rock. It is duller than anything I have ever done. Worst buyer's remorse in my life due to this game.

Absolutely terrible. Its nice to indulge in all the "micro", if you can call it that, managing of the construction process, but it mostly involves finding the best people in your budget, which involves very little strategy.

Once you've built your first tower, you have to wait for quite awhile ingame to build up enough resources to attempt to build a second, bigger tower. Otherwise, you'll either end up building smaller and smaller towers or bankrupt. Literally the second you wind up with $0, the game is over.

There is very little depth, very little replayability, very little strategy, and very rough graphics. Easy pass.

As a person who loves playing simulator games this one is a no no. Save your time and money, this game is is a huge letdown. Bought the game thinking it would be a strategic business and management sim and its nothing of the sort. Theres no variety in construction vehicles, only how quick they break down. The man management consists of clicking to add or remove workers, nothing more. No management of material resources need to build a skyscraper. You cant even take a lift to the top of the building you've spent millions building, to spit off!

This game could of been quite interesting if more indepth and actually provided the player with challenges and problems, in the end its just a point, click and wait.

All in all, very boring game, crap graphics and sound, no gameplay what so ever.

Complete disappointment. Please watch gameplay videos of Skyscraper Simulator before any attempt to buy. There is very little interactive gameplay:

1. Start with a set amount of money.
2. Purchase an affordable piece of land.
3. Choose desired size/shape of building to be built.
4. Buy construction equipment
5. Tell “crew” to start building phase one.
6. Wait…
7. Tell “crew” to start building phase two.
8. Wait…
9. Tell “crew” to start building phase three.
10. Wait…
11. Sell construction equipment.
12. Decide between selling new building/property or renting it out.
13. Repeat.

*Since the developer, United Independent Entertainment GmbH, feels the continued need to keep making their horrible “simulator” games, I feel the need to start writing reviews about their games. My hope is to prevent people from wasting their money.

This game is horrible and needs a lot of work to be even remotely fun to play. SimTower is more fun to play and it was released in 1994; 20 years ago. Don't waste your time or money on this "Simulator."

This is a bizarre "game." The only gameplay seems to be hiring and allocating workers to the various construction tasks--then waiting for the current stage of building to complete. Whether or not you do this well doesn't seem to matter too much; the building will eventually be constructed, and you can sell it for plenty of cash. There's no meaningful strategy to the thing and it's just not any fun. Stay away!

Beware of this title, for many, like myself, it will not run. The developer does not respond to your emails and steam refused to refund me - even though it has never worked for me.

Burn your money instead, its probably more fun!

This game is just terrible. I don't know what I expected, but it wouldn't even be a fun flash game. Basically skyscraper construction on rails. You control how much construction equipment you own and how many people you hire and not much else. And this determines only how quickly you finish building. And that's the whole game.

"0.2/10" According to My Own Rating.
Fails to deliver what is promised in the game description. The only "feature" they promised and delivered was the intuitive control. The navigation is pretty much the default for 3d software.

Incomplete. Not a work in progress. Not an early access. It's simply a pre-alpha quality release being sold as a final product. Typos, bugs, endless crashes. Not Steam quality standard.

You can hire extra engineers, but can't get them to do anything. The development was aborted before that. You have a tooltip they call a tutorial on description. But it explains what they planned to develop, not what they actually did. You can sell your skyscraper. And sometimes you'll be able to buy it back for the original land value... and sell again for the skyscraper value... and repeat... If for some reason the game sells you two vehicles with the same name, your save file is wasted. the game will crash when you try to sell or move the vehicle or when the building process is over.

For ages 6 and below. Not challenging. One of the only simulator games where anyone that can read will probably get everything right since the first attempt. If you sell your buildings, you'll get rich. If you rent them out, you'll get rich. You can just set the price to maximum and ensure maximum profits. Nothing to calculate, no need for operations research. Any building will sell for maximum price within one year. And you can't build a new one faster than that anyway... no need to hurry then. If you set the rent out price to the maximum, you'll get the maximum sale value every 4 years. You'll start slower, but will build up steady income faster (exponential income growth). You can use your steady income to ensure you won't run out of money when investing more than you have.

As a matter of fact, your only job is to allocate workforce and machinery. Too bad that's about half a thousandth of the skyscraper building costs. In other words, you can fail pathetically and will still look successful.

For some reason, you can rent out your skyscraper as soon as it's about 20% done constructing (60% total building time). That means you only need money enough for 60% of the building process. From that point on, the rent will give you more than you can possibly spend on its construction.

No maps or modding. No scripting to fix their bugs. Simulators really need modding capabilities. Especially if the developers decide not to finish the game before (or after) selling.

Only worth buying if it has a 98% off discount. The only two challenges in the game are:
1 - Play for one hour without quitting out of boredom or having the game crash.
2 - Try to have fun playing this. Your role is irrelevant. There is no real challenge.
3 - Go bankrupt without intentionally cutting all your revenue streams.

TL;DR: the official game screenshots will bring you more challenge and fun than the actual game. They've worked harder on them than the development.
