Soviet City is a game made up of quick game plays, where building and control is essential.
We take a lot from classic city builders. The player takes the role of mayor of the city. Soviet law and economy have their own laws. Every building influences a terror bar. Be careful, because excessive terror level leads to a rebellion. On the other hand, when terror level is too low, the dictator can replace you with a more appropriate person. Limited materials and people disobedience can cause trouble with implementation of five-year plans.
- Every game is a little different. After unlocking perks, your strategy of building has to be evaluated for the higher level.
- Socialism is our launching pad for new genders
- System of building requires your attention. You should ensure that your people are working, not just drinking vodka.
- Some of the buildings can increase or decrease level of terror. Terror determines the effectiveness of all buildings and soviets. Apart from that, it is also the main threat to your regime
- Modern and revolutionist architecture from the soviet bloc, El Lissitzky graphic, soviet dubstep/techno music allow you to feel the atmosphere of soviet country
- Communism is Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country
- We can build our future together

HEAR ME OUT. If this game was still supported, I would ABSOLUTELY recommend it. Abandoned? Sadly, no. But this game has SO MUCH potential! I know that ChickenInTheCornStudio (one guy) is still active on his Facebook. I've spoke to him via Messenger. While only once, I told him that me and many others want him to return to the game, and he said he would. Sadly, that was over 2 years ago. Hopefully, if enough of us message him, hopefully he will be convinced to return to this game.
Pros:
Amazing soundtrack,
Illustration/art style is gritty, yet so well done
Amazing concept
Cons:
The most recent update made the game a buggy mess
Sadly, Abandoned.
This game is compleatly unplayable.
- bug's, if you restart the city you cab't build road from palace, you must restart whole game and the numer of soviets is -5
- interface is a nigmare, it's even the problem to click something because the map is moved.
- you don't know what to do in the game, because ther is no introduction any clues or whatever, you loses in 5-10 minutes and you don't know why
- this is level of graphic that was good 30 years ago.
This is the worst piece of crap that i have ever played. I am surprised that steam even allow this game to be on their platform.
I had a hope to play a few hours of good game with totalitary system implemented and i am really dissapointed now.
And it was so promising. The music is the only thing that is decent in this game.
First time: 0/10 and the true is -100000000000000/10
I woul'd ask for refound but i bought it a few monts ago.
I wish the developer came back and worked on the game again. It's unplayable due to a lack of guidance and bugs. I still don't know how the mechanics work in this game even after 3 years later. I like the concept of the game but it's really a shame that there hasn't been any updates on it since.
Great concept, suontracks and desing. But incomplete, you cant progress: a lot of bugs will not allow you to win.
ORIGINAL: abandoned nowhere near complete.
EDIT: There has been an update recently, the game is still nowhere near complete but that's to be expected of early access. If it gets updated regularly until nearing completion it's certainly a game worthy of consideration but will need more than just one update to prove it's not been abandoned.
Stay tuned, folks.
Promising game full of bugs sold on sale and then followed by... nothing. 4 months (!) passed since last update[3] and I get this familiar feeling of getting ripped off by a dev.
DO NOT BUY
unless you enjoy unfinished piles of lies.
The game is too consumed in smearing Communism to actually make an entertaining experience that can provide variety or individuality for the players experience, Plus the propaganda is cliche and not even given the appropriate tone for the style of the game.
Bought this game for the music! Soviet City is rather rough around the edges, it might become a polished gem at some point, though not the Sim City clone I was hoping for. It currenly lacks sounds effects, and relies heavily on the best music I've heard this year.
5/7 will buy soundtrack!
This game is hillarious. Very humorous implementation of a city builder in a disfunctional setting. The music and graphics are insanely cool. Still buggy but completely understandable given the unfinished state. Its a shame the developer is getting all that flak from apparently Russian gamers. I guess there should be a disclaimer stating this is not intended for sensitive Russians, in the end comunism wasn't strictly russian, some of us lived under it very far from Russia, and yes it sucked. Yes, this is loaded with dark humour, yes its a dark game, and yes, it's insanely cool. No, its not for everyone. Hope the developer can overcome the negative tide and get this game to a polished state
Hi Community,
as a little update I need to highlight, that the developer didn't do any process with this game since May, which is much too long for an early access.
I still love the idea of this game, but please avoid to pay for it. Seems that the developer spended more time in creating a movie about the game than in the game itself. The status right now is still between alpha/beta and there is no general reaction to discussion posts or announcement for further process.
This kind of developers destroying the idea of early access and this is very sad!
Please find my original Post below.
Best Regards
-------------------------------------
This is the game I was waiting for!
I like to play all kind of city building simulations. This one takes you into a freaky & funny kind of communism.
Pro's
- design concept
- music (even if I would never listen to it outside this game - it just fits perfectly)
- whole atmosphere
- idea
- a lot of stupid jokes - spoiler: Mao looking at things Technology :-D
Con's (early access)
- of course - need to become more stable
- some bugs of course (overlapping buildings, balancing)
- very little content so far - I would really appreciate much more buildings
- missing sandbox mode
[*]missing workshop support
Overall: Very recommendable
At this state it looks very good; really hope that developer don't loose mood at any time and make a "still uncomplete game" release as you see in some other early access.
great art style and some quite unique mechanics and challenges. Its not so much based on history but more a parody of what some soviety city is like - there are a lot of neat ideas brought to the fore in how the player uses state terror and the double-edged sword this can be in both trying to keep the civilians under control but also answer the demands from the central government. Its well worth getting, can though be a little difficult to start with as there are alot of options on screen and time is ticking and there is seemingly alot one must do to meet 5 year plan goals and such - to some extent the game expects one to fail a few times in meeting such goals i think.
First time I saw it I couldn't believe that someone could have the balls to create such game. I was happilly wrong.
I'll take asside for one moment my fetish for everything that looks remotly soviet. For what I saw and played, this game has the potential to be an amazing gestional game, a little row gem that needs work.
It's fun, the art style and the music are really immersive and even made me question about my political believes.
If I really have to say something, it needs a better tutorial, and maybe some more explaination about what the buildings do and need to be built.
This game deservers to exit the alpha
Just a little note: even if it gets really good, it's a real questionable game: not everyone will enjoy this title. But don't be scared. Keep up the good work, comrade.
Soviet City is quite the spectacle... It's art style is quite beautiful and its soundtrack is hypnotic! Now I dont usually write reviews, but this game deserves its support! I have always adored the 'fake' soviet unions akin to the "Red Alert" series and this game really hits that sweet spot of my very abstract love for the dirty dirty Ruskis. Therefore I give the following things as possible feedback/advice to help this game reach its true potential via polishing and refinement:
- Slightly bigger maps, or at least an option for such
- A "free build" mode thats not so heavy on the objectives but still contain them to help drive the game
- A better explanation of the "Terror" abilities and a possible way of regenerating some of the points used (Maybe by completing objetives or something) Especially because meat and coal are vital to city survival in the early game
- Please PLEASE make the soundtrack available for purchase if you can, Oh MY GOD THAT SOUNDTRACK SON, SO GOOD!!!
There are probably a few things Ive forgotton to mention, Ill edit this if need be! Keep up the good work, cant wait to see the final product!!!
A very dark/amazing communist city simulator!
It's hard to make the perfect balance between terror and money.
Even tought some music gets kinda repetitive...
But anyway:
Сталин с гордостью !
How could I not adore this game? I can build an economy based on slaves and human body parts! What more can you ask for? This also arguably has the best soundtrack of any game I have ever played. The game still has some work to be done, at this point it's an extremely challenging game, and there is a time limit on nearly every mission. While I understand the need to stick to the Soviet Planned Economiies "5 Year Plans" it would be nice to have a sandbox mode where I am not timed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qj_6ohWDX34 GLORY TO THE GREAT SOVIET PEOPLES!
EARLY ACCESS REVIEW: TO BE EDITIED ON FULL RELEASE
I am surprised at the fuctionality of the game at its current point. I encountered no errors, and load times were a little long, but by no means unbearable. The art and design are very nice, and the score is very appealing, almost soothing in a brain-washing sort of way, which I can only imagine was intentional.
The controls are easy enough to learn, though it may take some time to get used to the menus. One criticism of the menus is that they are not always labeled as what you may expect them to be labeled with, but that is easily overlooked once you learn the layout, which the current tutorial does a fine job of.
The biggest issue I've had is a few grammatical issues with tutorial text and loading screens, but they are easily fixed, and easily forgiven.
Even at its current state, I would recommend this game to someone who enjoys city sims, as well as one that likes puzzle type games.
After I played a few hours I see this game different now.
It is very hard in the beginning and you have to figure out what to build and when.
It also has some bugs, but if you get to the point where you learned to manage terror and know what to do it is a really fun game.
I think this game is about how to handle a soviet dictatorship and not about anticommunistic propaganda, so just enjoy playing ;)
Were you the kid who liked unleashing total chaos upon your creations in Sim City? If so then this game is a must-have for you.
This game is great. It is amazing hyperbole of Totalitarian dystopia. Game is tough.
+ Super eletronic music
+ Climate
+ Original idea
+ Creepy gameplay
- Lack of good tutorial (Early acces game)
- I don't know what to add :p
.... hmm... This game is just AMAZING!11ONEONE!!11!
Soviet City has some of the most innovative and unique concepts I’ve seen in a city builder style game in a long time. I would have backed the game’s greenlight from the get-go based on the concept alone, but it had already been greenlit by the time I got there, so I followed it closely, watching and waiting for release.
As a longtime student of Soviet history, especially of The Terror, I was mesmerized by the idea of being part of the uncaring, murderous socialist machine. Make no mistake, this is a very dark game. State sponsored murder on a large scale, is, in fact, a critical part of the economy in the system, and can’t be forgone if you want to succeed. In the horrifying picture of socialism it portrays, people are quite literally nothing more than resources to be either worked to death and then recycled, or simply murdered on a mass scale (and then recycled).
Gameplay is similar to just about any other city builder, albeit strongly tied to mission objectives issued from above. Directives, such as “increase the population by 3,000”, can be met by building enough housing for those people, or by sneakier, more conniving methods typical of highly bureaucratic systems that are rife with corruption (you can simply have the birth certificates fudged at the local hospital and voila! 3,000 new “people” for the state).
The art style is utterly fantastic, and one of my favorite aspects of the game. It captures the bleak, stultifying brutality of a country undergoing a mass terror campaign. Everything from the People’s Palace (presumably where your exalted self resides), straight down to the most decrepit apartment block, screams totalitarianism.
The developer has been accused of “Russophobia” by a few very loud critics that presumably didn’t play the game, or only bought it just to accuse him of such. The same people seem to have little trouble throwing pejoratives his way about his nationality, and I find this terribly unfair. While many aspects of the art and even the concept harken back to Soviet Russia, they also evoke the other Soviet republics, Great Leap Forward China, North Korea and others in equal measure. The word “Russia” is not used once, at least not that I’ve seen so far, and even if it is, that’s hardly “Russophobic” of the developer or his product. Let’s all be civil. If this game is “Russophobic” so are most of the Call of Duty titles.
It’s an uncomfortable game, and it’s intended to be. It should make you feel a little bit… queasy, at times. That’s the idea.
I highly recommend Soviet City to people that enjoy city builders, socio-political history and dark (bordering on macabre) humor.
