City Mania
Ever wonder what a city would actually look like if you were the creator? City-building games give you a great glimpse of it, and your imagination is the limit. You can go crazy with the buildings you would like to put next to each other. It's totally your call if you want to have five high-rise towers next to each other, it's your city, after all. Even better, these city-building games on iOS won't limit which direction you want to go! Whether you want to play it out like a puzzle or strategically, there is a city-building game on this list you can start with!
This looks like a free to play Sim City clone, which is exactly what we're looking for. The features may not be as robust as a Sim City, but when it's free, you can deal with a little less. It does look like a mobile game, so it's going to be light in some areas, but for a phone game/time killer, you could do worse. More

Out of all the city building games that I played, this one is my favorite! I can also make buildings but also landmarks. Cool! ;)

Megapolis is definitely one of the best city building games out on the ios at this moment. The design of the game is very user friendly and I find the game tons of fun. More

I dreamed of being a politician and this game made this possible for me. It's not just creating a city but using economics as well.
by James Torres
I've played all the standard city building games. They are good but I was looking for something new. Megapolis has amazing graphics and a very cool theme. A+ game! More

This solution is a great way to solve the problem. For anyone, like me, that enjoys city building games this one is quite enjoyable. There are different levels and you get to play against and with players online. The goal is to create a town and get citizens back to the beginning of time. Sounds interesting to me. More

I have been playing DomiNations for a little while now and with each update it gets better and better. I like the character development and the overall gameplay. Not surprisingly, it can be quite addictive! More

This whole series is great! I've been playing SimCity games since the 90s and they are great to play no matter your time constraints. The new mobile version is a great way to pass the time wherever I am.
Virtual City Playground is a free-to-play city builder where you not only have to create your city but run it properly. You will need to keep an eye on such things as the transport system or the happiness of your population.
by Aaron Howard
Virtual City Playground is an enjoyable city builder, with graphics a bit reminiscent of turn of the millennium titles, but some parts of its business model and general presentation are off-putting and annoying. Basically, it's hard to make a lot of progress without spending additional money or wasting time watching excessive ads. The game also occupies a lot of space and sometimes runs in a laggy manner. The developers should take their ideas and graphics and rethink how they've built this game, to some extent. More

Fun game that is addictive. Has good gameplay. There are a lot of complaints about having to pay to advance. Overall, it looks to be a good game.
Venture Towns is a city builder game developed by Kairosoft Co., Ltd. It is for everyone and available on Android and iOS devices. It is last updated on March 28, 2017, and the size varies with your device.
by Mildred Curtis
I love this game because it has the pixelated look of 80s video games. It's slightly repetitive but it's great for passing time with kids who need safe games, and if you're in a productive, building kind of mood too! More

Venture Towns is a game fit for anybody that loves city building games. There are not a lot of selections out on the ios in this genre so it really fills a need. More
by Cynthia Turner
Venture Towns satisfies my drive to plan out cities in terms of mapping. I would like more options for the residents' lives. Still hoping one will win the lottery soon! More

You will be forced to make a lot of difficult, strategic decisions such as choosing to build multiple buildings or research different technologies for defense purposes. Then you will have to find the best way to use the human resources to get rid of the bloody zombies. Eventually you will own a large city, along with the government system to govern the city. Rebuild 3 has the same gameplay as SimCity, but with a lot of zombies threatening. More
by Janet Simmons
Looking for clues is my specialty. But building a game with zombies on the side is really thrilling!
by Christopher Hudson
I like to get on the iPhone or iPad and be a little constructive with Rebuild. Here you can build the best structure to protect yourself against zombie attack More
MegaCity HD is a city-building puzzle game available to play on iOS devices. In the mobile game, you have to fit the buildings into the right place, bearing in mind not to put danger beside a school, for a reference.
by Jean West
I LOVE city building games like Sim City. I grew up playing them and have fond memories of them. I was looking for a new one and found MegaCity HD for iOS. It's similar to Sim City and is really fun to play. It's definitely one of my favorite city building games that I've found so far for iOS. The graphics are amazing, the options are diverse, and the game play is addictive. Definitely check it out! More

City building games have always helped me to relax. I find the creative process of the designing to be nice after a long day of work. MegaCity HD was given to me by a friend who knows this. After playing through for a weekend I can say that it is now at the top of my favorites list. More
by Martha Gray
MegaCity HD is one of the best city building games for iOS because you can build a city as a puzzle, fitting them into the right place and making it so that your city is perfect and not out of place. I enjoy this game all the time when I am looking for a challenge and wanting to build something with puzzles and structure. More

I have been playing city building games since I was younger. I have been playing since I originally came across Sim City. Man I love that game. If you are looking for a really good game like that for iOS, Virtual City 2: Paradise Resort is where it's at. I promise you, you won't be disappointed. More
by Deng Shi
Virtual City tries to bring the feel of a Sims-like creation game to smartphones. The graphics and the gameplay sacrifice realism for something much more childish. This game doesn't offer much for anyone. More
by Dennis Bryant
The page does not load, so I'm not sure about how the game looks or feels. But, I will say that I like the description, about building not only the city, but also the type of people that live there. I don't, however, like the way it's considered freemium, because that implies that you have to pay to get anything worthwhile in the game. More
by Melissa Jackson
Shame that it's no longer available. I guess it's time that I should find another game to play.
by Marilyn Rice
typical city-building game like the sims but with retro graphics. the price is right, i've played it for hours without spending a cent.

by Kathryn Hughes
This is an excellent building game for IOS. Game play is flawless and the graphics are top notch. It is fun to make a unique city and get new content.
by Amber Soto
Virtual City is pretty good. As long as you enjoy building simulator games, then this is good. Many different levels. But it could use a few more states. More
by Sara Medina
The game is interesting but lots of complaints about ads and it being in a not finished state. Given that, I would not suggest it for this topic.
