Overview

IsoMetro™ is a city-building simulation game that pays homage to the genre's pioneers while leveraging modern hardware for a surprisingly deep economic simulation. Developed and published by Grimesoft, the game features a distinct 1990s visual aesthetic combined with 2.5D isometric graphics. Players are tasked with managing a city, acting as the government and utilizing treasury funds to build public infrastructure. The core gameplay emphasizes thoughtful urban planning, as economic effects are tied to individual tiles, requiring careful consideration of transit and zoning policies to foster vibrant city centers.
