About 1849

The year is 1849, and gold has just been discovered in California. You decide to head out west, to seek fame and wealth in the approaching Gold Rush.

Will you strike it rich and become an overnight mining magnate? Or build your fortune bit by bit by supplying 49ers with pickaxes and blue jeans?



Gameplay:

1849 is a city management game set during the California Gold Rush. Your task is to build towns, populate them with workers, and keep your citizens housed, fed, and entertained. You’ll have to manage and coordinate extensive production and trade networks to make sure your towns thrive.

Key Features of 1849:
- A campaign mode that traces the development of the Gold Rush from mining camps to bustling cities. Each city scenario presents players with unique starting conditions, victory goals, and obstacle events.
- Sandbox mode with a procedurally-generated map for your location, based on geography (from the Pacific coast to the Sierra Nevada mountains), precipitation, resource availability, and starting lot size.
- Vivid Old West towns with geography and architecture directly inspired by California’s Gold Country.
- Over 50 resources to dig up, farm, refine or manufacture as you build complex towns and cities.
- Classic city management gameplay meets modern technology in a sim tailored specifically for tablet / touch screen play.
- Developed by SomaSim, a new studio dedicated to producing deep simulation games for today’s players.

The tiny UI makes the game practically unplayable, the concept and the artwork look great, and I love the setting, but it's simply unplayable, if I can't even read the text.

Really enjoying the game

Its a nice game but the major issue is that it keeps asking to sign in google+ every few minutes otherwise i wud have given 5 stars. Secondly a suggestion to the developers, please dont keep people confined to a block. There shd be a feature to add more blocks as the game develops. They might take some clues from fantasy town

Worth the price. Just if we could get bigger map, and more different building, maybe introduce an online system to deal with other city created by other players

Every time I would try to load the game it would get to 25% then just close out. No error message or any message at all saying why or what went wrong.

Thanks for finally bringing this to Android. Pharoah still has lots of fans. Keep making and improving games like 1849 and you will too.

Really enjoyable. Happy to pay for a game like this rather than free-to-play sims that time-block progress. Could do with more music though - I've played it so much I can hum all the tunes in my sleep. ;)

A little bit like Ceaser and Pharaoh, there is a long campaign (20 levels) which gradually ease you in the game. The only thing missing is a way to auto buy/sell, which means frequent visits to the trading tab. It is added to the new add - on pack which makes the game a lot better. Overall this is a really great game, hope you release some more levels :)

Good town building game similar to other Android games of the same type, but more importantly, no in app purchases. Thank you devs! Not as complex in gameplay or graphics compared to Sim City, Tropico etc (ie Limited budget options. Landscape or buildings can't be revolved). Some bugs and issues too. Oh, and somehow, fruit and grapes don't count as 'food'. Guess folks in the Old West were a bit fussy. Do Americans even eat fruit? Anyways, this is well worth your pennies.

Cheap copycat of old school city builders. Very simple and casual, very repetative. It made me download a real city builder, pharaoh, 15 years old and 100 times more interesting, involving, complex. :-) There are just so many alternatives - both new and very old available.

Hi there seems like it could be a great game however scrolling and building deployment doesnt work properly on my asus memo 10.1 inch tablet, the screen keeps jumping to a random part of the map.

S70%
by S####:

Good game in the style of Caesar 3, but have to take points off for constantly asking you to log in to your Google account. I don't want to, but it won't stop asking. It's hard to believe it's this obnoxious. It constantly interrupts the game. I should have paid attention to the other reviewers who warned about the same problem.

by S####:

I had a great time playing the game, and look forward to Somasim's next release. To be clear, the only in app purchase is for the expansion pack. This is not one of those games that gets you interested and then tries to extort money.

If you like city building games like Pharaoh and Caesar. Brilliant example of how fun this genre is when it isn't being abused to nickel and dime you.

I have purchased both the original and the expansion. I cannot sustain an economy. Sick and tired of going broke in the game. I've tried every possible way to stay ahead but expenses are almost twice the income.

I really like this game and it is great at what it does. I saw the video review on youtube from Quill18, and I like that kind of game. Normally I don't buy games but this one was worth it. I have yet to come across in-game purchase so I don't know when that happens.

I was hoping to jump into the game, do a tutorial and then just play sandbox mode , but/there isn't one!

Y70%
by Y####:

Was going to give it lower score based on fact that the sandbox mode didn't make it mobile versions but to be fair they don't claim one to be there so can't bash it for that but would be great but that being said what is there is great and still alotta quality content and don't see any IAP market and that's very good...had to change to a 4 its difficult like you need to build 7 things to make a house evolve to lvl you need it to system like that is more suited to sandbox play which it does not have

Up to the 3rd town and can't find any IAP's in this game, anywhere. Good game so far!

Keeps pestering me about signing in to G+ (and probably making a lot of noise). Nope! Aint doing that. Didn't play it long enough to get a good impression.
