“A light city builder with a decent enough story held aloft by delightful style choices dripping with Jules Verne energy. As some have said its not a very long game but if you try and complete it there's a fair amount of…”
“Pretty, simple, and nice to listen to. For a city-building/resource management game, it's pretty easy, so don't play this for the challenge. Play it for the pleasant experience.”
“I'm enjoying exploring the setting, completing quests, and building an airship. I'm intrigued. Look up! There are constellations. Beautifully done. Highly recommend.”

“A game I'd give a maybe? On a hard discount, I think. There's nothing wrong with the game, but it's nothing really special. The concept is interesting and the story is nice, but the gameplay didn't really stick the…”
“Completed in 8 hours, so not a long game, but a nice twist on the city builder genre. The world building really stands apart from the generic games that are all set in medieval Europe and the design is beautiful.…”

“Fun relaxing steampunk city builder. The visuals are great. Definitely worth it when the game goes on sale, as with most of the games on steam.”
“it was simple. I like games that are comfortable, it let me be completely self sufficient since the first zone and let me buy anything I wanted since the start. And this game probably has the best behaving citizens of…”

“Delightful game. The idea is very unique that your base moves with you that you keep expanding, visuals and music make the whole experience feel very good. Looking forward to the sequel”

“This game was just... pointless. Survival aspects are shallow, research tree is shallow, story is shallow, base building was meh. There was some nice ideas with the flying city mechanic, the tilt on specific angles etc…”
“unique ideas but goes nowhere, never gets interesting.”
“For the record, I feel guilty giving this game a thumbs down. This is a where I wish there was an option for "Neutral." The fundamental twist on the classic "city-builder" is that it's tricky to balance (quite…”

“I play my games on MAC. After playing it for a while, I can't access it anymore because now all of a sudden the game is only supported on Windows. Waste of money and time. First time I encounter such a thing. Big thumbs…”
“The idea is neat but the game is just incredibly shallow. I finished it hoping that it would get a little bit more complex further in since I liked the idea of the mobile city, but the actual city building aspect of the…”

“Howl's Moving Castle, THE GAME. Avoiding any other movie memes, this game is enjoyable, but also completely boring at times. While I do love the art and the playfulness here I also wish there was much MUCH more to do, or something other than my own attempts at floating city…”
— a player, Steam review · 2 hrs played“This was a fun city builder, unique, original approach, and game mechanics are solid. Only gripe is that you can finish the game in 10 hours, and then its the same thing on NG+”
— a player, Steam review · 13 hrs played“Not the longest story but also not the most expensive game. Story is ok but mostly the fun comes from a game with a city build mechanic like no other, making sure the city does not tilt as you increase the size is a fun challenge.”
