User Reviews

Users praise Megapolis for its vast, deep city-building scope and nostalgic appeal, especially among long-time players. However, multiple reviews highlight persistent update bugs blocking play, confusing onboarding, and poor support. Monetization shifts and removal of daily rewards foster a pay-to-win perception, while extensive grinding and scarce resources frustrate free-to-play players. Some updates also erase progress or rewards. Overall, the game remains beloved by veterans, but many consider quitting due to these reliability, monetization, and guidance issues.

Pros

Very large, expansive city-building game with a wide range of buildings and systems.
Long-running title with nostalgic appeal and a dedicated base of veteran players.
Deep, multi-layered gameplay offering substantial content for players who invest time.
Rich variety of city-management elements (planes, trains, roads, etc) contributing to gameplay breadth.

Cons

Updates frequently introduce bugs that block play (stuck on intro/tutorial prompts, faulty prompts, crashes).
Monetization concerns: removal of daily rewards and a shift toward pay-to-progress feel with real-money purchases.
Significant grinding and resource demands make progression slow or require purchases or many in-game gifts.
Poor onboarding and confusing UI with limited guidance; lack of reliable support or community help (including difficulty deleting accounts).
Progress losses and nerfs after updates (lost buildings/rewards) undermining long-time players' efforts.

Recent reviews

This game used to be rewarding and visually appealing to play but now it has turned into a chore that takes an insurmountable amount of time to complete even the small projects in the game. Even when you’re trying to progress naturally, they heavily monetize everything to let your city build faster but the in game benefits are not even worth buying. Each update ruins a component of the game, turning it into a RNG style of leveling up to collect these “tokens” to complete a building. This game used to have a soft spot for me but it has been entirely ruined by whoever is running the team now
