What Are City Building Games?

City-builders are a fun subgenre of simulation video games where players take on the role of architects whose job it is to plan, construct, maintain, and balance various buildings in a given settlement. Most modern city building games for PC and mobile platforms task players with managing resources, keeping the population happy, and helping the area in your control to grow and prosper. However, as you'll see, there are many different types of these games, and there's one for everyone: from easy and simple casual adventures to strategy-heavy titles that require smart planning. Of course, G5's best city building games offer beautiful 3D graphics, heartfelt narratives, and countless hours of fun gameplay, and all of this is absolutely free.

 

Build a city

Grow your town from the ground up and see it slowly turn into a metropolis that'll stand the test of time with G5's classic city building games. 

 

If you're looking for the best realistic simulation of urban development, check out Virtual City Playground and build the city of your dreams! You'll get to make houses for people to live in, construct the perfect transportation system, build up industry, and attract crowds of tourists with stunning landmarks.

 

If that sounds like a tall order, there's a more casual approach in Mayor Match. It still has planning and design elements, but the gameplay is simpler and more casual. You'll be solving colorful match-3 puzzles to get the resources needed for city growth and expansion.

 

Looking for something more epic and with a spoonful of adventure mixed in? Take a look at our ancient city building games: Jewels of Rome or Pyramid of Mahjong. These awesome titles are enjoyed daily by millions of players worldwide across all platforms, including iOS, Android, and PC. Start working on your very own Roman city or bring a settlement in the Nile Delta to prosperity, meet lots of amazing characters, follow an exciting story, and build a place that people will be happy to call home.

 

Finally, if you feel like Ancient Rome and Egypt are too far away historically, there's a perfect city building game set in the Wild West: Sheriff of Mahjong. Put on your cowboy boots and hat, help the townsfolk construct essential infrastructure, bring peace and safety to the settlement, and see it become a true frontier gem! 

 

Renovate a city

Starting from scratch can be intimidating at times, so that's why we have games like Match Town Makeover. In this free build a city game, the city is already there, but it's in dire condition and desperately needs to be repaired and renovated. Solve puzzles, blast through levels, and revitalize this once-popular seaside resort town. 

 

Design a city

Like things on a smaller scale? Then, you're going to love Hawaii Match 3 Mania, where players get to restore an old desolate mansion on a beautiful island, or the incredibly funny and cute Pirates & Pearls, where you help a retired pirate build a luxurious resort for other cutthroats like himself.

 

Can I build a city with friends?

Like so many things, city building games are more fun with friends! Thanks to G5 Friends, you can always stay in touch with fellow city-builders, chat online, compete, or send and receive useful gifts. It doesn't matter whether they plan on iOS or Android mobile devices or even a PC. G5 Friends is for everyone.

 

Relaxation while playing

Popular city building games aren't about racing against the clock. They're steady and measured and allow you to think through your next move before you make it. It's a great way to unwind from the daily grind, relax, and feel the joy of the game as you build your own city.

Sorry for interrupting, but there is something we need to tell you...
