It looks like EA wants to calm things down following the cancellation of The Sims 5 with a new mobile game. Of course, its popularity will not be as great as that of the new Project Rene or PC releases, but every fan of the saga can give it at least one chance. Name of the latest addition The Sims Labs: City Stories.
And, as the name suggests, this is a game within the Electronic Arts “Labs” project along with The Sims, which is nothing more than a series of parts, vary the classic dynamics of the original game and suggest other ways to have fun with the saga. What does the new mobile game offer?
Well then, The Sims Labs: City Stories this is a game of creation and management of the city. Of course, it is divorced from personal relationships and the development of its own player, giving priority to creating a prosperous city with efficient businesses and a happy population. And all this in the dynamics of the saga and with the well-known commitment to mobile games cards, chests and countdown.
You’ll soon be able to play The Sims Labs: Town Stories.
Currently the game is in startup phase. It’s already showing up on the Google Play Store, but you probably won’t see an install button yet. Don’t worry, it’s only a matter of time before EA releases the download and you can try it out on your Android mobile phone. And yes, on iOS, although these types of releases are slightly different and the game is still not shown in the App Store.
What can you do once you download it? Well, although it is not available yet, the game has already been seen in several videos and some screenshots. Essentially this is city planner from scratch. The graphics and some dynamics are based on The Sims, but this is not a game where you can enjoy the original structure and gameplay.
In fact, at first glance, you’d think it’s not too far off from the hundreds of similar options on the Play Store. Its gameplay is based on repeating stepsseveral sets of coins, one progress marked by anticipation when creating new locations and payments to speed up any tedious steps.
Now there are some in the game classic saga details something you won’t find with other city managers. A good example is interacting with villagers and the different missions they can give you. In addition, you can also personalize your home with things, furniture and various decorative elements, which is not very common in this type of supply.
The graphics are not amazing, although it is quite normal that EA wanted to make a relatively easy game so that it could run it on almost any device. You’ll probably be able to play it on any device without any major issues when it becomes available.
As of today, October 3rd, the game is showing as “Not available in your country”, a message that is usually displayed when very close to official publication. If you want to try it, it’s best to wait a few days and search for it on the Play Store.
