    Very similar feel to OpenTTD, yet I see no reason why you would choose it over OpenTTD.

    OpenTTD is more focused on transport and Citybound more general but I still get similar feelings when playing transport simulators and city building simulators. I'm sure that's not the case for everyone, but for me at least, these subgenres they are close enough to be alternatives to each other.

    Even though the game is still early development. its getting closer and closer to openttd. While in construction mode it looks almost like openttd in a 3d coat. And in realistic mode it looks an entire different game. Was worth the money spend for sure!!!
