Newest competitive city builder games

Building towns gets tenser when other rulers want the same land, and these newest city builders lean into that competitive edge for you. In SkyShard: City Battler you arrange housing, walls and weapons then measure the result against rival builders, while TOHOTOPIA has you grow settlements, research tech and clash in short matches, and Periphery Online drops you on an empty planet to restore society in one shared fight for control.
