What is Heian City Story?

As the director of a city in historical Japan, you place shops, temples, and other facilities to attract residents and raise land values in this top-down city-building simulation. Nearby facilities can form street combinations, and Guardian Spirits help defend the city from monster attacks. Each in-game year ends with a culture rating.

For you if...

  • +you prefer relaxed, single-player city management
  • +you enjoy experimenting with building placement and combinations

Not for you if...

  • −you want a city builder without defensive battles
  • −you prefer fast-paced play over gradual town growth
