White Star Studio and IndieArk are set to launch Thriving City: Song into Steam Early Access on April 21st. Set in ancient historical China during the Zhao Song Dynasty, Thriving City: Song puts players into the role of a mayor tasked with helping their townsfolk settle into their new home. With a stunning art style inspired by ancient China, players will be able to experience the beauty of the era as they manage a bustling city and witness the rise and fall of the empire.
Thriving City: Song offers much more than just city-building. Players will have to carefully control agriculture, commerce, politics, and civil affairs, all of which are closely linked. Creating thriving markets and public buildings will attract tourists and balance the town’s fiscal revenue. However, players will also face challenges such as conflicts between factions, the spread of the plague, and natural disasters. Players can summon Gods to receive powerful buffs that make a huge difference when things get difficult.
With up to 60 hours of content, players will have plenty to do in Thriving City: Song. Early Access players will experience two tutorial levels to gain familiarity with the game’s main concepts and three levels of War Mode, including the story of the Northern Song Dynasty. Those who wish to stretch their creative muscles can jump into Endless Mode and experience 18 maps with over 90 types of buildings. Throughout Early Access, players can expect four more levels added to War Mode, more game systems, and the addition of the Workshop.
The game’s unique art style brings to life the game’s colorful and historical-inspired landscapes, buildings, townspeople, and more. Additionally, players can learn more about the Song Dynasty by interacting with the game’s detailed world through reference museums and historical records.
Thriving City: Song is set to launch into Steam Early Access on April 21st for $18.99 USD with a 10% discount for a limited time. With its immersive gameplay mechanics, stunning art style, and detailed historical world, Thriving City: Song promises to offer an engaging and unique experience for city-building sim fans.
