Project Highrise is a 2D tower-building simulation game, developed by SomaSim and published by Kasedo Games. It is considered by many to be the spiritual successor to SimTower.[1][2] In the game, players take on the role of a high-rise manager who is responsible for building and maintaining a tower block, filling it with offices, apartments, shops and restaurants, which they support with utilities, while providing specialized services and fulfilling certain conditions in order to keep the residents and tenants of the building satisfied.
The game was released worldwide on September 8, 2016, through online digital distribution platforms, primarily Steam and GOG.com, and has received generally positive reviews. The game has spawned five DLC packs, which provided additional gameplay features and content.
Reception[edit]
| Aggregator | Score |
|---|---|
| Metacritic | PC: 73/100[3] iOS: 84/100[4] |
| Publication | Score |
|---|---|
| IGN | 7/10[5] |
| IGN Germany | 8/10 |
| TouchArcade | iOS: [6] |
The game was fairly well received on release garnering a 7 out of 10 review score from IGN,[5] and an 8 out of 10 from IGN Germany.[7]IGN praised Project Highrise for being able to quickly and easily craft a smooth, self-sufficient system from the ground up thanks to a welcoming and fast-paced simplicity,[5] and Rock, Paper, Shotgun called the ability for the player to easily understand what was going on, despite the deep levels of complexity, the game's biggest achievement.[8]
Despite the praise, Project Highrise was also criticized for its lack of personality due to its artistic style and color palette. The way how each room looked was thought to be too similar and as such, larger skyscrapers could look monotonous.
Project Highrise has a score of 73/100 on Metacritic.[3]
