City Takeover is an addictive casual strategy game where your mission is to dominate the city by expanding your buildings and overtaking enemy structures with your growing community. Strategically connect buildings to extend your influence, build the strongest army, and outsmart your rivals. Every move matters as you grow your forces and launch tactical strikes to crush enemy defenses.


How to Play City Takeover

In City Takeover, you play as the blue team. Your goal is to capture as many buildings as possible while competing against the red team and other challengers like yellow and green.

You begin with a single building that gradually increases your population. To expand, you must capture neutral (gray) or enemy (red) buildings by sending your population to them via connecting paths. One building can form multiple connections, allowing for flexible strategy.

  • Triangle buildings are best used offensively—they destroy enemy buildings faster.

  • Circular buildings are ideal for reinforcing your own weaker buildings—they build faster and strengthen your defenses.

If your population surpasses that of a targeted building, you take it over and continue expanding. Strategic thinking is essential—you need to balance growth with attack while avoiding stronger enemies. As the game progresses, obstacles like walls add layers of challenge, making smart planning even more crucial.

Strengthen your hold by linking blue buildings together. The more connected your network, the stronger your city becomes.


Tips for Success

  • Capture early and often: The faster you grow, the better your chances of winning.

  • Use shapes wisely: Triangle buildings for offense, circular ones for defense.

  • Freeze time: You can freeze your opponent’s time by watching an ad—this can be a game-changer in tougher levels.
