Constructor Classic 1997 is a reworked edition of the construction strategy of the late 90s, differing from the original version by improved optimization and the ability to work on modern devices. Visual and gameplay components are unchanged, so the pastime takes the user back to the past and allows you to experience the same experience as a computer game lover at the end of the last century.In Constructor Classic 1997, the following single-player modes are available for completion:
- City of Utopias. Every resident of the settlement must remain happy.
- Free play. No quests to complete, all buildings and infrastructure are available for construction.
- Domination. The goal is to build up a larger area than opponents.
- Financial competition. A period of 40 years is given to make a profit of 1 million dollars.
The player takes control of a construction company engaged in the development of the area and the creation of new settlements. The company hires teams of workers headed by a foreman, engaged in the construction of buildings. The process is controlled at all stages - from the preparation and purchase of the necessary resources to the commissioning of the finished residential complex. Before the start, a choice of difficulty is offered. Competing firms are ready to do anything to hinder the development of the main character's business. They are capable of causing accidents, stealing or using gangs. It is necessary to monitor the mood of local residents and satisfy their requests.
