In Highrise City, you plan and manage a growing modern metropolis. Build homes, workplaces, industry and services, and expand across maps inspired by real geographic regions.
The city’s growth depends on supplying residents with goods and services. Set up production chains, connect farms and factories to storage and transport, and trade resources to balance supply and demand.
Develop the city through different population levels, laws and technology research, while taking on missions and adjusting the difficulty to suit your goals. Sandbox play and New Game Plus offer additional ways to shape a city.
In this selected sample, players who enjoy Highrise City often praise its focus on production chains and resource management, as well as the blend of city building and economic simulation. Some also appreciate the relaxed building pace, city visuals and ability to drive around their creations. Negative reviews repeatedly report bugs, slowdowns and concerns about a lack of developer support; others find the systems or interface unclear.
Obviously, you as a player will compare Highrise City with other games. If you do, keep in mind that the focus of Highrise City is the production chains . Managing these well is a key factor for establishing an ever growing city. The game is more than a traditional city builder and is strongly influenced by economy simulations. It was developed by a small team as a passion project during the last 9 years, while for 7 years the game was developed as a one-man project.

Once you’ve managed to create a prosperous and growing city, the time has come for fine-tuning and further growth. But in the meantime, you should also take a break and just enjoy what you have created. Watch the people filling the streets and minding their business. In Highrise City you can see tens of thousands of people and cars in the same scene filling your city with life. Micro animations hidden everywhere will brighten up your day and create the feeling of a miniature world.
You want to implement your own buildings? Your own skyscrapers? Change the whole balancing or create your very own types of streets? That's what we are aiming for with Highrise City as well! The integrated building editor allows you to easily develop and implement a fully custom look for your city. You can also share your creativity with the community using Steam Workshop!
