Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a slow-paced, detailed planning experience may find the arcade-style focus too brisk.

- Players seeking political nation simulations or survival crafting should look elsewhere.
Our take on Citalis
The description stresses unlimited expansion, but the play is framed around fast-paced profit management and four target modes. Its broad building scale does not, by itself, indicate a deep simulation of every city system.
What is Citalis?
Citalis is an arcade-style city simulation focused on managing a city and its businesses for profit.
Build commercial, residential, and park districts, develop housing and businesses, maintain roads, monitor water, and keep the city attractive. Low city happiness can lead businesses into criminal activity and closure. Water problems can bring droughts that disrupt city operations or floods that damage homes, landscaping, and roads. The game offers unlimited city building and four target modes with high scores. It includes 40 block types, with over 700 building combinations, and allows districts to expand without a stated block limit. UI elements can be moved to suit different screen resolutions.
