SteamCity is a turn-based strategy game with a unique world setting, merging steampunk art direction with strong Japanese influences. You can control dozens of characters, from brave Rose Militia members, to powerful steam robots, renegade enemy soldiers, and even the main heroes.
While aesthetically and visually pleasing, functionally this rose has far too many thorns.
I’ve sunk hundreds of hours into turn-based strategy games over the years, and both steampunk and Japanese culture are near and dear to my heart. Being connected to some of my lifelong favorites, SteamCity Chronicles - Rise of the Rose sounded right up my alley....
Review by Gaming Masterpieces - The greatest games of all time on Steam.
Is this game a masterpiece? No. You have to enjoy challenging turn-based battles and the unique Asian steampunk scenario to like this game. You also have to overlook a few... or better quite a few, annoyances in the game design.
The gameplay consists of different battle scenarios....
Definitely recommended to all those who want a game where they must think carefully about the moves to be made. I love the character's miniatures and the fact that you can resolve each mission using different tactics. Recommended.

The UI is a who's who of bad designs and insuperable bugs:
- Worst of all, the units don't respond. That's hopefully a bug. They get stuck, show nonsensical...
