Constructor Classic (1997) is a unique blend of city-building, strategy, and dark humor that turns the idea of urban development on its head. Instead of playing as a benevolent mayor, you take on the role of a ruthless property developer whose goal is to dominate a town by any means necessary. Through manipulation, intimidation, and sabotage, you aim to outsmart rival constructors and take full control of the map.
Gameplay focuses on building houses, attracting tenants, and managing resources while dealing with competitors who constantly interfere with your plans. Each tenant type has specific needs and abilities, and some can be used offensively to disrupt rivals—such as hippies, thugs, and other mischievous characters. Timing and strategy are crucial, as poor planning can lead to chaos within your own properties.
What makes Constructor truly memorable is its irreverent tone. The game uses satire and dark comedy to parody capitalism, politics, and suburban life. Combined with its distinctive art style and deep mechanics, it offers a city-building experience unlike any other. On Windows PCs, Constructor Classic (1997) remains a cult favorite that rewards clever tactics and a taste for mischievous strategy.
