Our take

Mini Metro earns its reputation. The subway-drawing loop is simple to explain and endlessly replayable because every city grows differently. Paying upfront instead of grinding through ads is honestly a relief in this category.

About Mini Metro

Mini Metro, the sublime subway simulator, now on Android. No ads or in-app purchases.

• 2016 BAFTA nominee • 2016 IGF award winner • 2016 IGN Mobile Game of the Year finalist • 2016 Gamespot’s Best Mobile Game selection

Mini Metro is a game about designing a subway map for a growing city. Draw lines between stations and start your trains running. As new stations open, redraw your lines to keep them efficient. Decide where to use your limited resources. How long can you keep the city moving?

• Random city growth means each game is unique. • Over two dozen of real-world cities to test your planning skills. • A variety of upgrades so you can tailor your network. • Normal mode for quick scored games, Endless to relax, or Extreme for the ultimate challenge. • Build your metro exactly how you want to with the all-new Creative mode. • Compete against the world every day in the Daily Challenge. • Colorblind and night modes. • Responsive soundtrack created by your metro system, engineered by Disasterpeace.

Please note that Mini Metro is incompatible with some Bluetooth headphones. If you do not hear audio over Bluetooth, please try disconnecting your headphones and restarting the game.

What we like

  • No ads or in-app purchases, a rarity at this install count
  • Multiple modes (Normal, Endless, Extreme, Creative) extend replay value
  • Award pedigree (BAFTA nomination, IGF win) backs up the polish

Watch out for

  • Minimalist visual style and calm pacing won't appeal to players wanting action
  • Premium mobile price point is a harder sell than free-to-play alternatives
Verdict: One of the best-designed mobile puzzle sims out there, worth the purchase without hesitation.
