Amazing New City Builders | Don’t Miss 2024’s Best Building Games

How do you define a 'city' in city-building games? I challenge you to figure out those city limits! City-builders helped define me.

I know you've been waiting for this list. SO much to curate and don't miss all the games I mention at the end too! This is just City Building, want other Strategy, Simulation, and Building games? Watch all the lists in the playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLYVqUDxY6COh7bkuJoBb1koNRX7mAX2yp

[@BrillAngel]

I’m so shocked you never mentioned Norland. That’s my most anticipated game and has a huge following. It should be getting released in May

[@GamerZakh]

@@BrillAngel I got Norland set for a base-building/colony sim list, so a lot of games like that aren't here.

[@sergej7073]

What about Cataclismo? They are Billions-Like Game :)

[@GamerZakh]

@@sergej7073 I got that in another list, I also wouldn't put They Are Billions in a city building list.

[@darkranger116]

One of the most understandable yet biggest let downs for me with modern city builders is that they usually dont have more than 1 type of culture or architecture. So many city builders are "Europe" only, but Earth of Oryn kinda looks like your architecture and citizens actually changed based on the actual temperature of the map? If thats the case its a brilliant way to do it and i cant wait to play in a desert for 50+ hrs and then move to a forest on my next run

[@bromanticgames]

Thanks a lot for including Folklands - the demo we release in the February Steam Next Fest will be wildly improved, so thanks for putting us in this list with all the other *amazing* upcoming city builders!

[@Pencliff]

It's great how the genre is so big and we have so many options

[@10C45E]

yeah. I still wish we had a few more modern city builders though...

[@GamerZakh]

@@Gigi-xr3qs Wow you're still on this after like a week haha. Just for reference, 3 out of 35 games listed are where you build on the back of something, 8.6%. You're just really triggered by this huh? - (Gigi spent many days complaining about this to me and now has come back after a few days to complain about it to someone else on the same video. Either a weird attempt to troll or they're mega triggered and now obsessed with city builders not being what they like)

[@raerae1630]

Wow, Metropolis 1998 looks like what I secretly hope to find on these lists. It reminds me of Simsville that got canceled, but on a scale of 100,000.

[@darkranger116]

finally, simcity 3000 + sims! i cant wait

[@StayCoolKeto]

*It looks amazing!!! I love pixel games that look like this; I really hope the game play is as good!*

[@ThaGamingMisfit]

This was also the standout for me ! I looks so cosy, I'm sure I'll feel right at home when this one comes out !

[@coachleif]

I was thinking the exact same thing

[@elgreco75]

Great list, thank you for making this. I always look forward to this video yearly as its my best source for finding for a new city building game to play. There a few interesting games you mentioned, hopefully they are good. Thnaks again!

[@suddenimpulse030]

Absolutely adore the art style of that Synergy game. Would really love a game like Surviving the Abyss that reviews highly and is well fleshed out, I really like the idea of an underwater city building game with this particular type of eerie moody atmosphere but most I have encountered were unfinished, shallow or lower budget things.

[@dubselectorr345]

Was just looking through games for a list like this thank you!

[@sweepingtime]

Looking forward to Citadelum. I love those house cut-ins where you can see people inside, using the facilities. Also Ancient Polis, because I'm more of a fan of ancient Greeks than ancient Romans. :p Synergy looks great. That one and Laysara are on my watchlist. I'd already gotten Wandering Village and Farthest Frontier thanks to these videos lol.

[@overseerpublishing4216]

Great to see our Kaiserpunk made it to your list! We'll be closing the demo soon and hopefully you'll take a peek :) !

[@metlov]

My favorite series on the channel after Cesar/Pharaoh! And easily the best bulk review series on the internet. Honest opinion, no overhype. Love it.

[@TheOis1984]

Fabledom is the one i like most among the list :) Pax Augusta is also good, but yes i agree it looks soooo... gloomy. If they brighten up a bit and add some decoration items (fountains, parks, etc) and add some life to the buildings like clothesline, potted plants, and other household items, it would be much better i recently broke myself free from Anno 1800 addiction (gosh that game is so beautiful), and the city is so alive, especially the buildings if you look in the details

[@celecha]

Same! thinking about getting Fabledom

[@kikicat7563]

Fabledom does look very cute and colorful! If u like that style founders fortune is very cute too it was very funny when i tried it 🤭

[@OdeeOz]

No Wild West Builder games? I'm sick of all the Medieval ones, and want my Wild West expansion to be developed. 👍👍🤠 10⭐

[@lizaliza8367]

As always, excellent video! Thanks to you, I'm always ready for the new strats, new RPGs and the like! Kudos)

[@alexkonoplian]

The list of games and time points on the video is very helpful. Thank you)

[@necromancer0419]

a great list again as always! i want to mention Norland, not many people speaking about it, but im really waiting that game!

[@henrychang2267]

Good video and I like most of the city builder games introduced in the video. Thanks for sharing.

[@phrozac]

Synergy looks amazing! The art is very Moebius. Downloading the demo now. Surviving the Abyss and Laysara: Summit Kingdom also stand out due to their distinctive settings. And of course Manor Lords and Frostpunk 2 look incredible. I hope they live up to expectations. A hybrid city builder/base defense that I've been very impressed with is Age of Darkness: Final Stand. Like a blend of They Are Billions + Warcraft 3, it's one the most fun games I've played in recent years. Been playing on and off since it went into EA in late 2021.

[@mariomihokovic6214]

Fantastic list, kudos!

[@markam67]

Great work as always love seeing your vids.

[@GamerZakh]

Thank you!

[@celecha]

Thank you for this list!! Super helpful. Also surprised you didn't mention some games that I've seen on other lists like Foundation. Interested in checking out Fabledom and Wandering Village as I'm looking for a cozy city builder :)

[@GamerZakh]

Glad you enjoyed it! And I did mention Foundation in the video, there's the 'Long Early Access' section. Does that section cover the games you saw on other lists? I've listed Foundation for years and have many dedicated videos on it. Foundation has also sponsored me in the past. I just have a 3-4 year cutoff date for early access games otherwise the lists are just the same every year. Foundation has been in early access for half a decade, at some point it's no longer an 'upcoming game'. Especially considering Foundation already feels like a full finished game, I think the 'Early Access' label is hurting it more than helping at this point.

[@Joshology]

Tried Settlements Rising & Folklands. Really enjoyed both. Love finding Indie gems. Both have got potential :)

[@rcookie5128]

Nice overview with objective criticism! I think it would be nice to also have a video of a "loockback" of games that actually released in 2023 and how well they did/do.

[@HanakoSeishin]

Absolutely! I hate how everything on KZbin nowadays is about things to wait for and nothing about things to enjoy right now. Following it leaves no place to actually experiencing joy, instead filling life only with constant endless anticipation of it.

[@crasusakechi]

I would love this so much, early access is great for these types of games, but I don't have time to be a tester, I want to know what complete games are actually good.

[@cass7448]

"objective criticism"

[@khurramwadiwalla4922]

Pax Augusta is truly a project of passion following closely to actual historical sites and customs etc. Attention to historical details is amazing.

[@LindaMissad]

Wow, what a lot of work you've done compiling this list. The city builders are some of my favorites so I really enjoyed this video. I'm hoping at some point, when they release, you will play some of them on your channel. Thank you, @GamerZakh! BTW, I have been playing The Wandering Village.... there's something about that Onbu that really makes you fall in love with the game. Stray Fawn studios also keeps adding features (biomes) and updating. I recommend it.

[@GamerZakh]

Glad you enjoyed it! I never have enough time to play all the games I want, if it was up to me I'd play all of them.

[@XXsupervisor]

I like these city builder games focused on exploration and discovery, less concerned with micromanagement of resources and military units.

[@2fisse]

Very good video. Im looking forward to many of these games, that i didn't even know about. Thanks man.

[@GamerZakh]

Thanks! I'm glad you found some new ones.

[@Capt.Steele]

As someone who despises graphics over functional gameplay, Folklands looks incredible! And the fact that they're adding steam workshop modding capabilities means that at some base level even if the devs mess up the game will be good and have content that you'll enjoy.

[@calisandqvist2718]

Thank you for puttin the game company down under, then I know for a fact FARTHEST FRONTIER will be something to have my eyes on! Superb company

[@GamerZakh]

Glad you find that useful! I like putting the devs there so we know who is actually making the game. Publishers often swap devs around. Recent relevant example is I realised the Helldivers 2 devs made the first Magicka but they didn't make Magicka 2.

[@Soccer5se]

Thanks again! Lots to look forward to this year! I'm really hoping for another "They are Billions" game! Too bad they stopped working on it.

[@sirnirvikingur]

Diplomacy is Not an Option, if you didn't know about it. It's coming along nicely.

[@vapaman3353]

Ty for putting the steam links in the desc. Makes it easier to find the game

[@GamerZakh]

Glad you found it useful! I only don't put the links if I'm hitting the limit on description length.

[@simonlee8154]

Underrated review seriously. Really enjoyed your classic humour 😊.

That's a lot of games -- thanks for putting that together. A lot of those look kind of 1999. But that seems to be popular atm.

Pioneers of Pagonia is very fun!!! I used to love The Settlers, and I think it's even better.

[@grand_R]

[@shishbasupalit5955]

Synergy looks incredible, looking forward to it as much as Frostpunk 2. That art style is based on the work of Moebius.

[@nightingale8339]

Again a very satisfying presentation of upcoming games, thats why I follow GamerZakh

[@Locoantropologo]

My hopes is that terraformation games becomes and own genre... Spore (space part) and Terra Nil scratch the itch, but I think that there's much potential for this to be explored

[@CoffeeSuccubus]

I wish we had a Carthaginian city builder. Carthage needs more media spotlight

[@RolandTemplar]

Thailand, pre colonial south América, India... Many options

[@Botruc]

I'm looking forward to seeing how Pioneers of Pagonia develops! I hope it turns out great!

[@RolandTemplar]

Well, the combat is crappy, but can be solved with updates

[@Nandesz00]

I think it is a bad omen if a game is in EA for 3+ years. Usually when a dev decide to publish a game in EA that means they are already running out of money, even worse when they release a dlc for their unfinished product. So I wouldn't hold my breath for the games that was mentioned in the last segment of the video.

[@bskibinski]

The length of EA doesn't mean anything by itself. Balders Gate 3 was in EA for 3 years, and i know many others that were in EA for longer (space engineers, factorio, etc) that turned out great. It depends on so many factors if a long EA is good or bad. A better predictor is their development blog.

[@darkforest4789]

Soviet Republic in EA for 5 years and it's better than %99 percent of the fully released city builders.

[@zacharybecker8228]

the biggest issue with surviving the abyss was they were going to abandon it but a huge backlash from the community made them try and finish it

[@owlthemolfar4690]

Thank you for the video! I only hope they will keep the same narrator for Endzone 2.

[@Stukov961]

Frostpunk is one of my absolute favourite games of all time, and oh boy am I keeping all the fingers and toes that I can crossed that the sequel surpass, or at least lives up to the original. Crate's genre-hopping is very fascinating to me. Grim Dawn is one of the best ARPGs ever made, and Farthest Frontier is a very strong entry in survival city builder genre. I'm stoked to see how the RTS (which is set in the same world as Grim Dawn btw, but before the eponymous grim dawn) And then of course, the strongly rumoured Grim Dawn 2 is very exciting too!

[@AlRoderick]

I know we're all supposed to think about the Roman empire three times a day or something, but why does no one ever put you in charge of Carthage?

[@hashemhashem2912]

Love these lists.

[@GamerZakh]

Thanks!

[@jjforcebreaker]

*As usual- fantastic work putting this thing together!* Very useful and informative. There's so much stuff coming up! And as always it's funny to have people talk about how strategy games are dying or whatever, just because games like that are not talked about by Sony or Microsoft (although they can slip in something like Age of Empires from time to time) on the 'big' stages, while in reality there are hundreds of titles in the works, span across numerous subgenres. It's always a good time to be a strategy games fan. BTW- just completed the prologue to that penguin game, and have similar feelings. Not a big fan of animal-themed bulders, and penguins are weird. But kinda charming (although sound effects are repeating too much) and there's something super refreshing about that Arctic setting, with snow and crystal-clear blue waters... Plus the game itself seems competent in general.

[@GamerZakh]

Thank you! Yeah people still (very antagonistically) come for me for saying there are good games these days. 10 years ago they said "look at 10 years ago it was so good". Today, 10 years later, they say "look at 10 years ago it was so good" lol. People really don't clock that I've made these lists for over a decade.

Something about Folklands I find very appealing, maybe it's the old school graphic feel or simplicity. Looks interesting!

[@Altroburst]

im really looking foward to a sim building game pos-apocalypse zombie world, the gameplay is leaning toward Age of empire isometric pov, and has Endzone & State of decay element to it, i find few of em but still need more thing , like flat map, looting site, defending against zombie or raiders, pharmacy building to treat the viruses and wounded npc.

[@Nadeikcaj]

Also Vikings City Builder looks good.

[@pawemalinowski4838]

for me Pioneers of Pagonia is looking like next game. I'm huge Settlers fan - since first part released on 1993 I played every up to Settlers 7. but Manor Lords it also look very nice... we shall see.

[@perer005]

Loved Settlers 1! So many RTS/basebuilding games where you win over AI by cheesing with units. In Settlers 1 you win because your economy/efficirncy is better!

[@RolandTemplar]

The original settlers? More like u win if u overpriduce weapons to make soldiers and wait to be trained and raise morale

[@perer005]

@@RolandTemplar Making and training soldiers IS the ultimate output of your whole economy. If you've managed to reach a point where you "overproduce" soldiers and gold then you've effectively won the game. If achieving the goal of the game is a complaint then it sounds like you've been playing on so easy maps that you didn't need to build up the chain of production properly.

[@RolandTemplar]

@@perer005 nooo, is good, but in settlers 1, training is just putting soldiers in Castle, instead of spending gold, so battles end attacking enemy castles.against lots of generals, wich make It q chore, BTW, AI never surrender

44:00 I think Synergy is based in Alejandro Jodorowsky's art style, but no idea if the artist is involved at all with the game.

[@Lara__]

Ostriv is a really good one that I absolutely loved. Still in development but there's an Alpha release

"increase your power to become the Senate" Laughs in Palpatine.

[@PhotriusPyrelus]

You should check out Ratopia. It's a nice cute city-builder/colony management game. It's got a lot of Craft the World in it, but most people would probably recognize it as an Oxygen Not Included "ripoff" (even though it's not; Ratopia has combat/base defense considerations, and is much simpler mechanically [that's not necessarily a bad thing]).

[@MaitreMechant]

a bit tired about all of these game with that "low poly no textured" art style, they basically all look the same... great list tho, thanks for this comprehensive list as usual

Still waiting for Kenshi 2, or another game like it. Still one of the best games I've ever played, even if it isn't strictly a city builder.

[@meinacco]

slight correction on Pioneers of Pagonia: it's not from "the developers of the original settlers games". the very first Settlers was made by like 4 or 5 people with the main creator and programmer being Volker Wertich. He was later also heavily involved in the third Settlers game. He and his game game studio Envision were contracted by Ubisoft to create the latest Settler which is now released as New Allies. But due to creative differences their involvement ended in 2020. Basically only 1 person from any of the early Settlers games is around for Pioneers, Volker Wertich.

[@RolandTemplar]

So, he is only a consultor

[@meinacco]

@@RolandTemplar On Settlers:New Allies, yes. For Pioneers he's head of developement

Please cover Beneath the Mountain! Thanks for the vid.

[@tjk3430]

I'll add that I first discovered BtM on Splattercat's channel. It's a fantasy Dwarf city builder where you must defend against orc raiding parties. Beautiful aesthetic, architecture, and unit design. A devoted developer who is active on discord and plans to get the 1.0 out very soon, likely q1 of '24. Again thanks for reporting on on these games I never would have learned about otherwise. New sub here.

[@Inucroft]

Beyond these Stars, is a direct sequel to their earlier game.

[@GamerZakh]

Yes I mention it.

[@susangoaway]

55:40 Of course you can. And CS2 does have a lot of neat features. The problem with that "game" is that it's basically a pre-alpha disguised as a full priced release. Not to mention the anti-modding/consumer stuff they have done and also attempt to label criticism as "toxic". Shouldn't have scammed people.

[@GamerZakh]

What example would you say for a game that dominated a genre for a decade, got tons of DLC and expansions, and then got a sequel that actually surpassed the original on release? I can't really think of a good example, mainly The Sims and CS2 are the ones coming to mind.

[@BobroBobrodobro]

Ostriv was started by only one creator and later he cooperated with two or three more as I know. The team is ukrainian and the game development is very slow becase of WAR russia wages. It's hard to make a game while being bombarded almost every day

Each time i see "it's promising" well polticians make promises too haha

Well it can't be considered entirely as a citybuilding game, but since you mentionned a whole list of games in developmant for many years, I guess you could add Starcitizen too since it has been in development for way over 10yrs now and they are finaly making work of their base building feature which looks very promissing and which would make it fit in this list a little too.

[@GamerZakh]

I listed Star Citizen for many years and everyone knows about it already. As it seems like it's never going to 'release' I don't list it anymore. I'll only list it again if they announce a release date.

Kaiserpunk should chose another word than Grand Strategy. The only ones that know how to do grand strategy is Paradox.

I just want advanced and realistic looking Tropico 2 or manor lords with slavic lore - gods and monsters :)

[@FlightOverRio]

Could Pax Augusta be the Caesar 5 we are all waiting for? We'll have to wait and see. We are all waiting for a worthy succesor.

So many early access I just dont have time to waste on non finished games; so many I'm waiting on

[@GamerZakh]

Quite often there are games still labelled 'early access' but really if you play them they feel like complete games. Like Timberborn and Foundation, there's even endgame stuff already. Those kinds of games are more getting new content updates rather than finishing the game at this point, I don't know why they prefer to stay in early access. A lot of people are like you, holding off for them to release.

[@G0ld3nB0]

is there any game that's trying to be spiritual successor to the Black & White games?

[@GamerZakh]

Only one unfortunately, it's called Fata Deum but it's pretty indie.

Kind of bummed that I keep seeing the same square grid systems in all building games. I’m so done with it. I’m glad manor lords doesn’t have a strict square grid. Ostriv and foundation are also great. It makes it so much more unique and more realistic. City skylines 2 disappointed me aswel. The Roads aren’t grid based but all buildings are made for standard squares so you end up with huge ugly gaps. Hoping for more realistic old European city building games.

[@GamerZakh]

It's a preference and lots of people prefer grids. Freeform is tricky to get right too, like you said with CS2, you can't just have curved roads, so it's easier and often more popular to just use grids.

I have this strange issue (maybe because I played Settlers on Amiga500) that games like Pioneers of Pagonia should be in 2D. It would look just way cooler :P.

[@RolandTemplar]

2D sprites are very costly now
