Airport City Manager Simulator 4+

Game is Like Saving for a Ferrari While Working at McDonald’s

I’m not going to lie, the game is addicting but the farther you get into it, items are WAY overpriced for what you are making on flights and missions. While playing it, it is as boring and routine as a 9-5 job, you just stick to the routine clicking the shops and houses, sending planes on flights and allowing other planes to land. The premise of the game is fun but it just takes too much time to accomplish anything. Once you save up all your money and buy a new building, you then find out that you have to find more items to build. My example this week is, I saved all week for a Crossbill Helicopter which requires a command center and new helipad, (wohoo, I got enough money) but wait, before I can go on a flight, I now have to build a freaking Mechanical Plant to make items required for a flight. What does the Mechanical Plant do? It does exactly the same thing as the Resource Base, just creates different items.
I ask myself every time I play, why I am playing and have no idea. I’m pretty close to deleting the app.
Also, the adds are scams. One add is for a light saber which is a noted scam on Google.

Game is just too slow!

A good, but very hard game.

This is one of the more unique city building games available. You not only build a city, but you also build and run an airport.
At first things move along quickly. It is not too hard to get the basic things up and running. By around Level 10 though you have so many more things becoming available to you and you will not have even close to the amount of coins needed in order to put them in place. The important upgrades also require a list of items in order to be completed. The odds of getting those items from flights are very low. I find it a lot easier to use the gift system to get them. Also watching ads will let you fill in those last missing items.
The coin earnings feel very unbalanced. You don’t earn nearly as much per flight as you feel you should. For example: a 3 hour flight will earn me 103 coins. I can get 120 coins in 5 minutes by watching my city buildings. I don’t feel like I’m earning any coins at all from the helicopter flights! I spend coins on parts and fuel for every flight. You add all those together and the expenses come out to about as many coins as the flight earns. I strongly suggest increasing the earnings per flight to make them more worthwhile.
Other than the unbalanced earnings, this has been a good game.

You just wait... and wait

I like this game very much. It is well thought out and challenging, with a unique combination of skills and items to be acquired in order to build your world of commerce and capitalism... BUT most of the challenge is waiting endlessly for building/products upgrades and forward progress (Spoiler alert: the emphasis unfortunately seems to be on aggravating you to the point of purchasing your way through the unnecessary wait times they impose on you- this certainly defeats the “neato” factor and the initial joy I began with). If you like to “buy” your way through cool games and have the throw away money in this day and age to do so (shame on you- go donate to a charity!), then this game is terrific! If you’re like me and can’t even afford to ‘refuse to spend money on principle’, then you will sadly put this app on the back burner day after day while waiting for a terminal or coffee shop or power plant to upgrade and push you forward to interesting new heights. If the creators and administrators would like to correct this irritatingly obvious flaw, I’d be happy to re-think my opinion. Otherwise, I can’t recommend this game unless you have two or more lifetimes to have a go at it.
