I’m pretty picky when it comes to city-builders - a requirement in a genre so full of excellent, unique attempts to put a spin on the ideas that SimCity laid down so long ago - but there’s one that I’ve had my eye on for a while, and it’s finally coming out in just a couple of months.
I’ve been drawn to Bulwark thanks to its incredible art, which is a symptom of its building mechanics. Designed to somehow allow for both simple building but incredibly intricate design, the game allows you to build your settlements on towering cliffs, your cities clinging to the rock face, the Ursee crashing far below. Developer Tomas Sala suggests you’ll be able to create your cities at the touch of a button, but keeping them thriving as you explore more of the world will be a touch trickier than that.
Scratch that mayoral itch with our list of thebest city building games.
