Our take on Sphere - Flying Cities
The bounce point arrives when maintaining the anti-gravity device and deflector shield competes with food, healthcare, shelter, research, and exploration. Players who want city construction without failure states may hit the wall when insufficient power can quickly end the settlement.
What is Sphere - Flying Cities?
Sphere - Flying Cities is a science-fiction city builder combining strategy, simulation, and survival mechanics.
As commander, manage a flying settlement created after an asteroid strike makes Earth’s surface uninhabitable. Build infrastructure, maintain food, healthcare, shelter, and economic systems, and keep the anti-gravity device and deflector shield supplied with power. Drones and scouting technologies construct buildings, gather resources, and search hazardous regions for survivors and rare materials. Research new technologies for city efficiency and prepare the settlement for geomagnetic storms, asteroids, and poisonous clouds. Colonist welfare remains central, while some situations force decisions involving sacrifice. The city can move across the globe as the settlement attempts to preserve human society.
