Go-Go Town!, a cozy simulation city builder has landed in the 1.0 version on Steam. And what’s more, you can now buy it on the original Switch and the Switch 2! As that’s the same full version, it might have been worth the wait if you haven’t been able to jump into Go-Go Town! before!
The Steam version is now 25% off until July 30th. The Nintendo Switch version is on offer for 10% less. The Switch 1 version now costs $ 26.99 and the Switch 2 version $ 29.69,with the sale ending on July 30th as well.
A Dream Job or A Lot of Work
Here’s how developer Prideful Sloth (you might know them from Yonder: the Cloud Catcher Chronicles and from Grow: Song of the Evertree) described the game:
You’ve landed the dream job – mayor of a picturesque town rife with potential. Congrats! The spec promised rolling hills & friendly locals. What it didn’t mention was that the place is a total fixer upper.
So, roll up your sleeves and take charge as a hands-on mayor on the go. Plan neighbourhoods, place buildings and transport routes, welcome visitors, and turn them into happy, productive residents.
Watch your town grow and blossom, then keep it running when things get busy, messy, or go wonderfully sideways.
New Elements of the 1.0 Version
Margaret reviewed the Early Access version of Go-Go Town! for LadiesGamers and liked it a lot, right from the get-go. It’s been two years since then, so a lot has happened, as Prideful Sloth keeps polishing the game, adding quality-of-life features and new elements.
If you already own the Steam version, here’s what was added to the 1.0 version:
- The brand-new Creative Mode lets you fully take the reins and build with no limits, no money needed and a new map on which to make that happen.
- Bugs, artifacts, fish, gems, relics, and fossils—it’s time to start collecting! There is a new Treasure Hunting system where you can collect (and display!) things you find while exploring your town and environs. Will you set up a fishtank or a beautiful plinth first?
- A distant cousin of the noble Bin Chicken, Garbirds will root around in your trash, scare tourists, and won’t leave until you get rid of them. Just another thing to keep on top of!
- There are now 30 new Steam Achievements that you can earn, and a total of 56!
QOL Improvements
Of course, there’s always little updates that make your gameplay a little nicer. Here are a few of those:
- Rebuy System. They made it easier to buy more décor items that you’ve unlocked, and all it takes is some EGO.
- Imports What does TownCo need more than anything? Cash! And you can now import vehicles or, well, any item you may want… for a price. Need an extra tomato? Pill bug? Just order them up!
- Offroad Driving Where we’re going, we don’t need roads… All player vehicles are officially “off road” vehicles!
- Lost and Found Made a mess in your town? Lost and Found to the rescue! Your Maintenance Crew will now pick up items dropped on the ground and take them to Lost & Found. But after 12 in-game hours, they’ll get rid of them, so keep an eye on it!
- Updated Tutorial Just in time for new players! They’ve revamped our tutorial so it walks you through all the major steps you need to be successful in Go-Go Town!. Got everything handled and starting a new save? Skip it! Need a refresher? It’s waiting for you in the main menu.
- Vehicle Garage Got too many vehicles? Don’t we all! Store them in the new vehicle garage. And if you have too many Go-Karts, there’s someone inside who will happily take them off your hands and make them disappear.
And if you don’t want to play Go-Go Town! alone, you can play in multiplayer too, with up to 4 players (in Steam) and up to 2 players (on Switch), both local and online.
