You are responsible for the economic and social development of a city. In RISE, however, you must always keep the well-being of your citizens in mind. Because industrial progress often goes hand in hand with environmental pollution, and the income needed for further development, which is achieved by means of tax or rent increases, easily leads to the resentment of the population... Variable bars, actions, events - all this leads to a multitude of possibilities that can trigger chain actions and turn a simple step into a sum of combinations. All this makes RISE an exciting and ever-changing game experience that is hard to calculate even for absolute strategy fans! Due to the multitude of different combinations of development bars, actions and events, new game situations are always created, which always present you with new challenges. The North American edition is available from our partner Capstone Games.
