Holyday City Reloaded (Early Access) – Build Stuff, Upgrade Stuff, Hire People, Invest in Trade, and Control Time in this Crazy City Builder

Holyday City Reloaded (yes, that’s how you spell it) is a new clicker game that has you building up your city.

Think SimCity. Now think Clicker Heroes. Now combine them into one. That’s Holyday City Reloaded. Kinda.

It’s an idle clicker game where you’ll need to build up your city by getting money. You can build a ton of different buildings like cafes, nightclubs, science labs, hotels, factories, and more. When you build a new structure, it benefits your citizens and makes you profit. You reinvest that profit back into your city to make even more money.

There are also plenty of unlockables like facilities, airports, marinas, ships, aquariums, and even an atomic lab. The game advertises itself to be the “best and most accurate” capitalism simulator. While this is true in some way, it should be taken lightly. It’s a humorous approach kind of like Adventure Capitalist.

The game has a variety of buildings you can “enter” that each has different functions. You have an office building where you can interview people to hire, for example.

The buildings can also be upgraded. You can buy a coffee grinder for your cafes to keep your citizens happy. You can buy an airport to export goods and trade with other countries. You can send your ship off on adventures.

The game also has events based on real-world holidays that last for a limited time.

When you get big, you can unlock prestige items like jets to private islands. These can be shown off to your Steam friends in order to be the snobby capitalist you are.

(The game takes place in menus with detailed pictures, you don’t actually get to move around in the game).

If you’ve never played a clicker game before, that’s pretty much how they work in a nutshell. You need to click in order to make money.

You have a general “level” that ranges from 1 to 35. As you expand your city and make it more profitable, your level will increase. You start out with a small town that you can rapidly expand into a city, followed by a metropolis. If you really work at it, you’ll eventually blossom into a huge, skyline city. You’re the mayor and all you want is money. That’s the goal!

There’s also plenty of upgrades and technologies to invest in to improve your city. You can even invest in contracts with other AI players.

The game also has this “trophy system” where you can earn and collect them for later viewing. You earn these by winning battles in the markets. We didn’t really test this feature, but rather saw it in-game. It’s a nice thing to have for achievement hunters.

You don’t need to give this game your full attention. It can easily be run in the background while you play or do something else, but if you focus on it constantly, you’ll have an advantage of buying stuff right when you have enough cash to build up faster.

The game’s still in early access, but it plays pretty well and looks good visually. It runs offline even when you’re not playing it. Holyday City Reloaded is like a game that mishmashes all the best parts about city sims and clicker games and puts it into one. The strategy is actually pretty deep and immersive.
