The city building part feels shallow but harmless. Some of the structures you can build also have auras around them which give percentage bonuses to adjacent lots. You can also get houses that increase the population of your city, or special landmarks like fire departments that do nothing besides unlocking additional buildings to buy. You place buildings which either generate cash or energy over time, which you can then collect and store until you spend it on either constructing or upgrading new structures. The absolute basics of Big City Stories are no different from any other free to play city builder you can grab on any mobile device.
