So I'm looking for a game.....
Hey all,
So this is the first time I'm using these forums so im hoping someone can help!
So the other day I was thinking about City building games and how they often put you in the position of the ruler or God of the city.
I'm wondering whether there's any game that lets you play as a peasant in a city and then gradually work your way up the 'ladder' of power to maybe the stage at which you run the city?
Any ideas, I'd prefer it to be an offline game as well :)
Thanks,
Imperia64

I really can't think of any game in recent years like that.

Problem there is it's like 2 separate genres of games, The Sims games come to mind, think you could get a job as a Mayor in that, but you never see the city (Iv'e only played the first one). Thinking outside of the box, how about something like Minecraft or Grand Theft Auto?

Can't recommend this. The requirements for a satisfying experience are far too high, it's full of cheaters, steep learning curve and the IAPs are shockingly expensive. Graphics are nice though.

Heh the only game I can think of that has those 2 separate elements of starting from the bottom into something bigger is Spore that starts as a mini game, then a 3rd person, then a strategy and the space :P
But city sim in that style I can't think of anything.
Hmmmm don't starve? Yeah its a survival game but you start with nothing and build up to basically having your own town (if you get that far)
Re: So I'm looking for a game.....
In all seriousness, a lot of fantasy MMOs basically play like this. Anything which has the ability to form player organisations. If you pine for Ultima Online then you could keep an eye on a rather dubious kickstarted game from Richard Garriot called 'Shrine of the Avatar'.
Obviously misses the offline preference a tad.

Hey guys,
Yeh thanks for the ideas, Spore is probably the closest but I find the end game strategy section abit lacking! It's a tiny bit annoying only having one ship to defend your entire empire! I'm sure everyone can relate to that aha!
Suppose Kalniel is right!
I think games like Entropia Universe which have players owning shops and banks etc is the sort of thing I'm looking for but offline!
I find it strange that it's all online!
I do play those type of games online but I'm one of those suckers who just wants to gradually take over the world!!
I suppose on a side note, anyone know of a game where you have to gradually take over the world? More so than Total War, like maybe your boarder gradually expands as you grow your nation?
Thanks
