[Switch] Cities: Skylines - Digital - $15 (Was $60) @ Nintendo eShop

340

Cities: Skylines - Nintendo Switch Edition cheapest price ever.

Build Anywhere. Play Everywhere.
Cities: Skylines is a modern take on a classic city builder. With original gameplay to realize the thrill and hardships of creating and maintaining a real city. Boasting fully realized transport and economy systems, Cities: Skylines is designed to suit any play style - and now, anytime, anywhere.

More portable than ever, the new Nintendo Switch™ Edition of this best-selling city builder comes complete with reworked UI, designed especially for Switch, along with two of Cities: Skylines’ most popular expansions - After Dark and Snowfall.

Multi-tiered and challenging simulation: Constructing your city from the ground up is easy to learn, but hard to master. Playing as the mayor, you’ll be faced with balancing essential requirements like education, healthcare and much more along with your city’s real economy system. Citizens in your city react fluidly, with gravitas and an air of authenticity to a multitude of gameplay scenarios.

Nintendo Switch edition exclusive: Using HD Rumble, a rumble effect helps find the most efficient area to place service buildings in your city. Pro controllers are also supported, and additional tutorials help guide your first playthrough for a better learning experience.

Extensive local traffic simulation: Colossal Order's extensive experience developing the Cities in Motion series is put to work in fully fleshed out, well-crafted transport systems.

Districts and Policies: Be more than just an administrator from city hall. Designating parts of your city as a district results in the application of policies which results in you rising to the status of Mayor for your own city.

After Dark: Focused on leisure and tourist specialization, this expansion's central feature is to utilize the day and night cycle and alter the approach to managing your city. Will you construct a bustling city that lives and breathes at night, or succumb to the perils and misadventures of the dark hours?

Snowfall: The difficulty heats up when the city cools down, thanks to this expansion's added challenges and assets, like snow maps, streetcars, and heating systems. There are in-game temperature readings, cosmetic weather enhancements, extra parks, and infrastructural demands to keep your citizens warm and safe from freezing conditions.

    Great game on PC. I will be interested to see how well it is implemented on the Switch. Console versions can disappoint.

    Nice find — I heard this game has slowdowns/performance problems on the Switch, but at this price I might grab it anyway.

    Check out the metacritic reviews, seems to be a good summary of the issues:

    • Thanks you saved me $15.

    I reviewed it a while back, I'm a big fan of the game. The Switch port isn't bad, but it's not great either. It runs for the most part competently until your city hits a certain point in population and then it's a bit of a chugfest. It's also very dark at night, the contrast it just wrong and I found I had to keep it at day time to see what I was doing. There's also no mods which on PC fix a lot of the issues with the game like traffic.

    For $15 though could do a lot worse.

    • What a shame. I love this on PC but I'm never there to play. It would be the perfect game on the Switch! (If it performed).

    • I've noticed that in a number of games I own on both switch and PS4. Switch versions ai is never as good & the lighting effects are non existent.

    one big difference between switch and PC versions: you can't get mods!

  • Does anyone know if it's been patched/fixed? When I bought it initially it couldn't handle big cities or zooming well.

  • +1

    This is really a game that needs to be played on PC for the mods.

    Its incredibly cheap right now.

  • I see mixed review. Yay or nay of you have to stick to switch port only?

    Bought it, straight away I noticed a lot of popup upon zooming before I built anything, even when it had a few seconds to settle which was quite laughable. I get it, its on Switch. But you know what else is on Switch? A dozen other games that push the boundaries of what seems beyond impossible.

    Cancelling out the UI is annoying requiring multiple taps when it should be holding down a button. Its not a terrible control scheme but its not very intuitive either. Aside from that it seems alright for the price although I've yet to get into slowdown territory. An average port, but not terrible imo

    It'd be nice if eshop offered refunds for games that feel broken like my last bad purchase - Grip
