Review summary

Players praise City Smash 2 for its fun destruction and ongoing updates, but repeatedly request more maps and city variety, plus playable/controllable units (pedestrians and monsters) and new threats (floods/aliens/ zombies). They also want more vehicles and aircraft, and note several bugs affecting stability. Overall sentiment is positive, with strong enthusiasm but clear demand for broader content and fixes.

Pros

Satisfying destruction and ragdoll physics.
Regular updates that improve destruction and add content.
Overall fun and engaging gameplay.

Cons

Too few maps and a lack of city variety.
Desire for playable/controllable pedestrians and monsters/kaiju (more interactivity).
Need for more monsters/kaiju and additional threats (floods, aliens, zombies).
Bugs and stability issues (glitches with vehicles, landscape navigation, tornado behavior, social badge links).
Requests for more vehicles and aircraft (planes, helicopters, UFOs, trains).

2026-07-30	I *****	It’s good 😊 because you can drive cars crash on the road with cars destroy buildings and cities 🌃 but one thing every time you pick or restart a city 🌆 you get an ad 😫 like every time you get an ad so can you please remove some of the ads? But other than that I’m going to play your extremely fun game😀

2026-07-29	Th*****	Its pretty cool but unfortunately, the camera is stuck at a weird angle (wish we could level it out) and there it seems like theres a lot less features than the old one.

2026-07-28	Re*****	I think it will be cool if there was controllable people and you can punch other people and go in cars for a pov what you look like when you’re driving a car. It will go be cool if you can become a giant and destroy the city.

2026-07-27	Gg*****	I like the game a lot, but I would like it even more if you made it to where you can control the dummies and added helicopters back and interiors to the buildings that would be great if you could do it.

2026-07-25	Th*****	Honestly, it’s really fun. I haven’t played it much but it’s really good. I think that it could go really far and be really good game become really popular but that won’t happen unless you buy it.

2026-07-25	js*****	I really like this game. I have always wanted there to be a 3d adaptation of city smash. So this was super exciting for me. When I decided to Finally Download this I overall thought it was a pretty fun experience. Here’s some of the stuff I liked about this game: The selection of stuff you get to use to destroy stuff is pretty cool. I especially like the futuristic tank and the nuke😈 I like the fact that there’s NPC civilians. They make the game feel a lot more alive and not empty. When I downloaded the game I never thought there was gonna be a fake twitter. But I was pleasantly surprised how funny some of the texts were. I also like how some of the bill boards in the game reference other games made by this studio. Now onto some of the stuff I would add or change: This is a problem I have with a lot of games this studio makes. ADS. This actually isn’t my biggest gripe with the game. As the ads are small and easy to ignore. But I think it would be better if you would make it so you could watch ads to get certain features without making it part of the gameplay. That way you could still add ads without making it overly obnoxious. I think there’s room to add a lot more cool maps too. In the first city smash game. There’s all kinds of maps you can play on. You can go to space, destroy a military base. Go to the future. In this game there’s only 2 maps available. Both of them are honestly a bit generic and lackluster compared to the first city smash. It would be cool if you added some of the locations from the first game into this one. There’s emergency vehicles that can spawn when you destroy something. Which is a pretty cool concept. Unfortunately this is one of the worst executed features. When I first figured out that emergency vehicles would spawn if you destroyed stuff. I thought they would go to the scene of where you destroyed that thing and they would release doctor and police npcs to try to help people. But apparently not. They just drive around the city and eventually run right off the map and despawn. I think it would be such an obvious fix to just make it so the vehicles don’t just pace around and actually help people. And finally. My biggest gripe. The game is SOOO laggy for us poor mobile players. For a studio who’s games mostly dominate on mobile platforms. It’s a bit crazy how bad this game runs on mobile devices. This problem surprises me too because this is something your studio doesn’t seem to usually struggle with. For example: Solar smash. Probably the most popular game made by this studio. Performs great on mobile devices. Before I end this off, there’s also some changes I would recommend that aren’t totally necessary but would be fun: I saw a lot of people ask for this to be added. So I bet this is probably already on your check list. But a zombie apocalypse option where you could turn npcs into zombies and start an apocalypse would be cool. You could borrow another thing from your first game. Which is the option to spawn a tsunami. It would be funny to see npcs desperately squirming around in water. Spawning aliens or the military to invade your city would be really fun. However if you don’t add this that’s understandable as you already sorta do this in the game by controlling a jet or a ufo. Overall. I like the concept and some of the features of this game. I think with a few tweaks, bug fixes, and new content this could become a genuinely great 3d adaptation of the original city smash.
