Memoriapolis’ innovative approach to city-building challenges the player to become both a visionary urban planner as well as a political leader. Players are tasked with wisely guiding their metropolis throughout four ages of history from a modest explorer’s camp at the beginning of Antiquity to a Capital of Capitals in the Age of Enlightenment.
The Early Access will include all the features of the game through the first two ages, Antiquity and the Middle Ages.
Memoriapolis offers a fresh perspective on city-building games, emphasising political decision-making, resource management and organic urban expansion. Players must carefully balance urban planning, economic growth, and political stability to ensure their dynasty’s legacy.
Key features include:
Dynamic Historical Progression: Navigate through distinct historical eras, making critical choices that impact the city's development and layout
Organic Growth: Create a harmonious cityscape to guide the organic growth of the city
Building Management and Strategic Urban Planning: Optimize building placement, preserve or demolish buildings, strategically locate the city centre, and master the art of overlapping historical eras.
Resource Optimisation: Efficiently collect, transform, and trade resources to fuel the city's growth and prosperity
Population and Politics: Meet the needs of the citizens, maintain political balance, and enact decrees to shape the city's future – disregarding the populations wishes could lead to the end of your rule and game
Worldwide Influence: Construct iconic wonders, expand the city's global reach to solidify its place in history and face external challenges that can impact the city
"We wanted to create a game that not only challenged players' strategic thinking but also allowed them to experience the thrill of building a civilization from the ground up.” said Jean Baptiste, Head of Studio at 5PM Studio. “Memoriapolis offers a unique blend of city-building and historical simulation, inviting players to make impactful choices that shape the destiny of their metropolis."
