Heian City Story: A Trip Back in Time

Kairosoft, renowned for its delightful retro-style games, has launched Heian City Story globally on Android. This city-building simulation transports players to Japan's Heian period, a time celebrated for its rich culture and, intriguingly, its supernatural challenges. The game is available in English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Korean.

Your Role as City Planner

Your mission is to cultivate a thriving and aesthetically pleasing city, prioritizing citizen happiness. Construct essential establishments such as cafes, pubs, shops, and arcades, strategically arranging them to maximize in-game bonuses. Closely monitor your citizens' needs and provide accordingly to maintain their contentment.

Confronting the Supernatural

Even the most idyllic city isn't without its ghostly inhabitants. The Heian era wasn't solely poetry and peace; mischievous spirits and demons lurk, threatening your citizens' well-being. You can summon guardian spirits – reminiscent of chibi Pokémon, but with a historical twist – to combat these supernatural foes.

To keep your populace engaged, a variety of activities are at your disposal. Organize kickball tournaments, sumo wrestling matches, poetry slams, or even horse races. Victories in these competitions yield valuable prizes to further enhance your city's development.

Heian City Story retains the charming retro graphics that Kairosoft fans adore. The miniature art style adds to the game's appeal, bringing a whimsical yet authentic portrayal of Japan's Heian period to life. If you enjoy history, city-building simulations, or simply seek a relaxing mobile game, download Heian City Story from Google Play.

Also, discover Spirit of the Island, now available on Google Play.
