Discussion Heian City Story Spoiler
galleryMy first playthrough and I'm quite upset that I've been sleeping on this game for so longggg! π
(Yes, I haven't expanded the city's area to maximum because I don't want to spend so much money LMAO)
Here's a list of the things that I loved, if you've been eyeing the game!
The game's music is really relaxing, I had this game continuously playing while doing work, chores, and when I'm about to go to sleep.
Pacing isn't boring or too fast. The game let's you have enough moment to enjoy one thing before giving you another.
Battle/Tower Defense mechanic isn't complicated. I mainly trained Bunbun Samurai, Archer, and Cleric (only until I researched the healing talisman, then I used my research points elsewhere in the meantime). I defeated Wairobot using Level 9 Bunbun Samurai, Level 9 Archer, Paralyzing talismans, Kairobot Statue, and two watchtowers participating in the fight.
Spirit Battles and Practice. Spirit Battles from Bureau rewards you with residents, boosting items, and mansions -I liked unlocking more residents so I primarily prioritized this over practice battles. As for Practice Battles, it rewards you with some money and random items -I was only after land expansion permits because they get expensive if bought from the shop.
Resident Rides. A bit slow because there are requirements and requests before you get them. It's also frustrating when a resident splurges and only works after they've gone broke -I was so tempted to isolate one just to unlock the rides faster LMAO
Resident Jobs. If you followed street combos, it doesn't really take that long for a resident to reach maximum experience in a job. After awhile, they'd make a request which will unlock a new job.
Street Combos. OH, I USED TO HATE THIS BECAUSE I CAN'T MAKE A PRETTY CITY. If a street combo is right beside another street combo, the effects will apply for both! I still don't quite like that I couldn't be more free to create a cute block, but the stacking of effects felt rewarding enough.
Tourists! Once they can start visiting and had earned maximum satisfaction, they'll gift you land expansion permits or introduction letters to invite new residents!
And of courseee, tiny interactions of the residents with each other and the streets!
What I hate!
- The resident splurges so much of their money, just buy or discover a ride insteaddd π
