My favorite city builder I've ever played. The amount of content and interest here for $15 is so great. I feel like other publishers are charging over $100 for the same level of content with DLC packs. The game is visually and audibly stunning, even in 2025. Store screenshots can't capture the attraction and smoothness.
Also, You can turn off the lady announcing "Trading platform arrived." every two minutes. Its a check box in options. After that, its zen.

After 5 years and 500 hours, I finally feel compelled to review this game.
Excellent.
Cliff Empire is a unique and compelling mix of resource management, logistics, and base building. It is not perfectly balanced in every aspect, and success often depends on specific build sequences, but the experience is consistently rewarding.
The visual styling, soundtrack, and overall artistic composition are stunning. It feels like retro-futurism imagined from a future years past, and I love it.
If you enjoy city-builders and resource management, this game deserves a place in your collection.

I can't believe I haven't given a rating to this game yet. It is hands down one of my all time favourite city builders! The concept is unique, the visuals are stunning, the soundtrack is wonderful, the atmosphere and immersion are off the charts! You can tell how much absolute love was put into this game and it has concepts absolutely nothing else has, within this genre or outside of it. It also has feautres you would never think of and have never seen in any other game. It is a work of passion and I will be playing it forever, truly a gem which will be timeless and age gracefully. Support the dev, he deserves your money and your time, buy it, and have a drink on me later!

It absolutely ravages through your pc with performance issues at times but beside that and some balance issues, it's a good game. It's not breaking any new grounds with gameplay mechanics. It's a city builder in its core with a pretty cool world built around it. You're limited to building on cliffs and the more time goes by the more you unlock. Things like building on the side of the cliffs or below it. Really makes you plan ahead on how your cliff will look like as you can't really pick up a building to place it somewhere else.
Now I do agree it's somewhat soulless when there aren't people exactly moving about since bulding streets are shockingly expensive and take up valuable space. Still do recomend it mostly for the fact the game is dirt cheap for the content and the developer(s) have been updating this game every once in a while with cool new content or bug fixes.

I really enjoyed the game. Getting to prestige 30 was fun to do. In the beginning it was challenging but at the end it turned more to a waiting grind. Putting it to x7 speed helped to keep it fun.
The achievements were not so fun.

This is a great game for those that love sim, city-building and resource management type games.

Very fun, relaxing management and building game. I find myself coming back to it over and over again. It has a unique charm and is highly replayable, with just the right amount of complexity to keep your mind occupied.
