What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Hello Steam Community! City Rhapsody! is a new city-building game we've been working on since Nov. 2021. It is a traditional city-builder with real-time strategy mechanics. Players will use their creativity not only to build their dream city but also to solve the city's unique problems. We want to release it for Early Access and invite the community to help us make it an exciting, fun, and challenging game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Although we've tentatively planned for early access to last for 1 to 1.5 years. Our main goal during early access is to define City Rhapsody! as a simple, fun, and one-of-a-kind city-building game. As such, we may extend early access beyond 1.5 years as needed.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to add more gameplay mechanics and content as the development progresses, with more exciting interactions between the different systems to provide more unique challenges. Some of them we planned for are: Larger buildings, more utilities, and more unique city services to manage. Some longer-termed features include public transit system, better analytics tools, and modding support.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core gameplay loop of construction, citizen AI, RTS unit control, and event mechanics are present. There are also basic UI and player support systems including saving and loading games, tips and notifications, data visualization, etc.
It is important to note that:
  • Existing features may be removed! As more features are added, we may remove or temporarily disable previously available features to provide a more balanced, polished game.
  • Game saves may break (we will do our best to keep your saved city loading!) as we progress through early access.
  • Performance may be bad as we plan to focus our primary efforts on developing balancing gameplay during the early access period. We'll address performance issues as they arise depending on priority.
  • We aim for City Rhapsody! to be exciting and sophisticated to keep players engaged for hours and hours. As such, many systems have complex interactions and may make the game too hard or too easy. Let us know what you think with our in-app feedback tool or Discord and we expect to adjust this constantly throughout early access.
”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, we plan to raise the price as new content and mechanics are developed for the game.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We plan to publish frequent development updates. Also, we've added an in-game feedback system to allow the player to submit bug reports and feedback directly from City Rhapsody! Based on feedback, we plan to iterate quickly with regular monthly releases and various patch/bug-fix releases.”

About This Game

The city is your orchestra, you are the conductor, how should this rhapsody play?

Welcome to City Rhapsody! Instead of layers and layers of bureaucracy; we, the citizens, decided to appoint one person, you, as the city's "conductor."
Look out! We are very needy so it just may get chaotic. From everyday traffic congestion, changing power demand, accommodating our requests, and providing uninterrupted city services; to fighting out-of-control fires that threaten to wipe us out. Are you ready to take up the challenge?

City Rhapsody! is a low-poly, chill, sophisticated, and engaging city-building game with a twist of real-time strategy mechanics. The player plays the city's all-seeing "conductor" who gets to build all roads and buildings, tweak traffic configurations, open/close businesses, manage complex utility infrastructure, and command special city units. Use them creatively to solve citizens' problems.


⛰️With a fully procedurally generated, dynamic, and evolving world, choose the ideal location to start building your dream city.
  • 3 map sizes, 128x128, 256x256, and 512x512 with realistic tree-growth simulation.
  • Gain more citizens to build larger construction projects.
  • Modern, hand-crafted, low-poly style building models and structures.
  • A unique hybrid grid system that neatly stacks your buildings and roads while not sacrificing variabilities.


🛠️Control buildings and fine-tune the city's operations to make sure your city has enough money to grow.
  • Realistic utility simulation.
  • Full data visualization maps that help you manage your city.


😉Use everything at your disposal creatively to solve challenges and make citizens happy. Remember, unhappy citizens dodge taxes and will leave your city with abandoned buildings that make it unattractive.
  • In-depth traffic simulation with player-customizable roads/intersections.
  • Individually simulated complex citizen AI.
  • Situational generated challenges that are unique to every city.


🚒The world is not all roses. In emergency situations, take over commanding the first responders to save your city from disaster.
  • Realistically simulated forest fire with wind effects.
  • Player-controllable special units to change the outcome of a disaster.
