What do you get when divine intervention needs help down below? You get sintopia a new type of city builder where you my good friend are incharge of hells inc so let’s talk about it.
First off huge thank you to PiraKnights Games and Team17 for sending me a demo key greatly appreciated huge shout out.
So the games intro tutorial starts out with the big guy himself trying to talk to you but before he can get much out of his mouth he gets a phone call and gets busy so in comes your one and only LiLi the succubus to teach you the ropes of how to run Hell and yes run it you shall.
So the game is divided into 2 play areas you have the main area hell itself which we will get to in a minute and you have the upper world where your humus live peaceful lives going about there days. So in this upper area you dont have much control here you see a few buildings and some people chilling these are the souls you will need to make hell a more productive place and yes you are able to use spells and magic in order to claim a few of these souls and have the awesome reaper bus bring them down below for you but dont get to crazy the bus is on a timer and souls do wait around the cemetery till they get to board and get taken below.
Now down in hell it gets very busy you have to create buildings and walk ways for your souls to follow to get rehabilitation in order to be reborn you see in hell there’s a special temple that every path must end at and that temple is the rebirth temple where souls get sent back to there humus domain to live new lives.
Working for hell is a lot of work there’s different currencies you need in order to make things work like your spells and there’s stuff like sin overload which I didnt get to experience but im sure its bad just from its name. The humus have strict schedules to follow and they will die trying to complete them a bit over dramatic I feel.
You do get your own team of workers to help you out with some stuff but I didnt get to interact much with them off the start they get introduced to you during the tutorial. Also the tutorial does a great job of walking you through stuff up until a certain point where it let’s you experience it a bit on your own.
Sintopia is a one of a kind management sim builder that really adds a new flavor to the genre and makes for interesting games I cant wait for the full release and its a must play in my opinion thank you all for stopping by have a great day and game on.
