Galaxy Grove's 'Town to City' launched on Steam on May 26 after an early access period. The game's voxel art style and 19th-century Mediterranean setting distinguish it from other city-builders. Players can place houses, shops, amenities, and nature freely, with no grid snapping. The economy develops as workers are assigned jobs, unlocking new buildings and decorations through a research tree. The full release expanded tourism: players can set up tour routes between hotels and landmarks. Two modes are available: a main campaign and a sandbox mode. Terrain and water can be terraformed, and a first-person view mode lets players walk through their creations. Multiple cities can be connected through agriculture and tourism. The soundtrack, by composer Paul Aubry, accompanies the calm gameplay. The 10% discount runs through June 8. Future updates include controller support planned for fall 2026.
