In our constant efforts to bring you the best mobile games to play on PC with BlueStacks, we often stumble into hidden gems that go under the radar and that are promising enough to bring to your attention here in our blog. This time around, we discovered a nice upcoming title called Frozen City, an immersive survival and city building sim developed by Century Games that promises fun for casual players, but that also offers a ton of elements and features that will definitely hook even the most hardcore fans of the genre.

Frozen City, like many other mobile games out there, can be quite simple at a glance. However, as you continue to advance, you’ll start unlocking new features and systems that will make it much more immersive. As such, even though your main focus will always be to build and develop your settlement, you’ll need to juggle many different elements such as the needs of each individual resident; the proper delegation of duties; the creation of troops to protect your territory, and the establishment of proper supply chains to keep everything functioning, to name a few.

This combination of elements, to us, makes this game one-of-a-kind and something that you must try if you’re at least a little bit interested in the whole city builder and management genre of games. Regardless, what can we really expect to find in Frozen City when we start out? We suppose we’ll have to wait and see. However, there are already a few previews floating around the internet that give us a hint of what’s in store for us. For this reason, we’ve decided to create this brief overview on everything you can expect to find in the new Frozen City.

Town Building… With a Twist!

In what could possibly be the most “normal” aspect in Frozen City, this game will have you taking control of your very own settlement, prompting you to decide how to develop it, as well as take control of each and every structure that you build and upgrade. Similarly, you’ll also be tasked with overseeing research developments, troop training, and the defense of your settlement against any would-be attackers. And finally, you’ll also need to secure resources in order to progressively build up your foothold, as well as keep your current population healthy and sheltered.

All of what we’ve mentioned above is present in pretty much any other city builder game, which would make Frozen City somewhat par for the course. However, the similarities end here as this game goes much deeper and features many other elements that you’ll have to manage, at least if you want to develop at a reasonable pace.

In-Depth Task Delegation

Building a settlement is not a one-person project—it takes the combined efforts of many hands and souls in order to put together a decent place to eat, sleep, and find shelter from the elements and wildlife. And in Frozen City, this premise is as real as it can be, considering that this game offers in-depth task delegation where you can assign specific tasks to individual residents and have them perform said activity in perpetuity. 

One of the more interesting parts about this aspect is the fact that the specific conditions of the said residents will greatly influence their effectiveness, which means that you must also strive to keep them satisfied both physically and mentally. In other words, you must work to keep your people fed and happy if you expect them to give their 110% to developing the settlement.

Immersive Needs System

As the description of this game puts it, survivors in Frozen City are your lifeblood—they are the ones who will build, research, and perform any of the tasks you assign them. As such, you’ll always need to care for each and every one of their needs as they pop up during regular gameplay. 

These needs and requirements go from the most basic necessities like food and rest, to more context-appropriate desires like warmth. What’s more, failing to meet these requirements can not only reduce the resident’s effectiveness at their assigned tasks, but also cause them to become physically or mentally ill, which is a burden for both them as well as yourself. As such, you’ll need to ensure that your villagers are at least fed and kept warm, and that their other necessities are catered to as time goes on.

Establishment of Supply Chains and Production Lines

In Frozen City, you’ll need to not only establish a constant supply of raw materials like lumber and food, but you’ll also need to oversee their synthesis into usable goods. After all, a log of wood is not useful to a carpenter if what they need is a saw or another specific tool. In this sense, you’ll also need to establish a production line of commonly-used goods in order to keep your settlement in constant growth.

A Vast World to Explore

All of the above elements would be enough to place Frozen City into a ranking of highly-anticipated games to try out as soon as they launch. However, this game seals the deal by contextualizing all its elements within a sprawling open world that you can freely explore and discover. In this sense, the world is quite truly your oyster—you can set out and do anything you want with only a few limits, and this is something that you’ll want to do fairly often since the world is where you’ll be farming most of your vital resources and raw materials.

All in all, we’re quite excited for the game’s launch, which hopefully won’t be too far off. Luckily, if you’re looking to get the best experience, remember that you can always play Frozen City on PC with BlueStacks in order to enjoy the game on your large PC monitor and with access to myriad tools to enhance your overall gameplay.
