| Point | Description | Importance |
|---|---|---|
| Engaging city-building and UI | The game's city-building mechanics, particularly the building upgrades and well-designed UI/tools (copy/paste, move buildings, blueprint mode), are a significant positive aspect. Reviewers found the city builder functionality engaging and well-designed, making the process of constructing and upgrading cities enjoyable. | 66% |
| Unique post-WWI dieselpunk setting | The game's post-WWI dieselpunk setting is a unique and appealing theme for many reviewers. The alternate world setting and the opportunity to build a city in this era are seen as positive aspects of the game. | 10% |
| Citizen sentiment impacts gameplay | Citizens' happiness directly impacts the game through taxes and resource generation, and managing their needs drives research and military expansion. The connection between citizens' luxury supply and their spending/taxes is a key element, leading to increased cash flow when managed effectively. | 9% |
| Active and responsive developers | The developers are highly active and responsive to community feedback on platforms like Discord. This active engagement and willingness to address issues and suggestions are viewed positively. | 7% |
