Hello everyone, I am a newbie. I have only played this game for two days. I thought I was quite smart, but I was taught a lesson by this synthesis game. Today I will share the pitfalls I have stepped into, hoping to help other friends who are new to the pitfalls!
The first pitfall is that I didn't understand how to play it at first. When I saw a bunch of small houses and buildings, I thought I could just drag and drop them, but they merged them into a mess, wasting several low-level buildings. Later, when I tried to get them to level 20, I realized I was short of materials😱 I later learned that this game is a bit like 2048. Buildings of the same level must be combined together, and they cannot be combined by skipping levels. They must be done step by step. Beginners, please don't have slippery hands like me!
The second pitfall is the problem of choosing a city. There are three cities to choose from in the game: the United States, Russia, and the United Kingdom. I chose the United Kingdom at first because I thought the painting style was good-looking. It turns out that the architectural style in the UK is more refined, and it may not be easy for novices to use it, because the icons of composite objects are a bit small, and I often see them wrong 😂 Then I tried the United States, and I felt that the icons were larger and the architectural style was simpler, which is more suitable for a newbie like me who has bad eyesight. It is recommended that novices start playing in the United States first, and then challenge other cities after becoming familiar with it.
Another big pitfall is resource management. Synthesizing buildings in the game consumes gold coins and materials. At first, I thought the materials were unlimited, so I tried my best to synthesize high-level buildings. As a result, all the gold coins were spent, and there were not many low-level buildings left, so I was stuck at a certain level. Only later did I realize that we need to plan rationally and leave some low-level buildings as synthetic materials, instead of just integrating them all. Moreover, the architectural styles of each city are different, and the synthesis routes are also slightly different. For example, Russian architecture is more traditional, British architecture is more classical, and American architecture is more modern. It is best for novices to focus on a city first and then become proficient in it.
In addition, this game is stand-alone and does not require an Internet connection. At first, I thought I needed an Internet connection to play it, but I found that the progress can be saved offline, which is very friendly to people who work hard haha. It is also free and has no ads. The developer Shenzhen Martian Interactive Entertainment Co., Ltd. is very conscientious. There are no forced ads or krypton gold. It is a pure puzzle game.
One last tip, don't be anxious when compositing, see the icon clearly before operating. I often confuse the church with the city hall, and I regret it if I make the wrong mistake. There seems to be no undo function in the game, so you have to think clearly about every step. But after I got used to playing, I really got addicted. I sat there for half an hour and couldn't stop at all😝
In short, 20 is really suitable for playing in leisure time, and the graphics are also very healing, especially the night lighting effects of British cities, which are particularly beautiful! Newbies should pay attention as I said above and they should be able to avoid many detours. Let's work hard together to synthesize level 20! If you have any questions, you can ask me. Although I am only half-full, I can help you avoid the pitfalls I have stepped on~
