What Roblox lacks in the graphics department, it more than makes up for with the creativity of its community. The Roblox engine gives players the ability to create custom game modes, maps, and other playable scenes – including town management simulators and City Roleplay worlds – and it’s exploded in popularity.
The most customizable and interactive games in Roblox tend to be open-world and building-focused. There are all types of City and Town games in Roblox, from management simulators to fighting games with City backdrops to roleplay servers.
Updated September 14, 2021 by Erik Petrovich: Roblox continues to draw in more players, growing a larger community thanks to its impressive creators and free-to-play games. There are a lot of fun experiences to be had throughout the robust title in 2021. One of the more entertaining genres is Roblox city games, which incorporate sprawling areas filled with buildings or sights to see. While some are not necessarily “games with a goal,” these locations can be hot spots for roleplaying, offering players a great area to act out their character’s actions and create a whole new “story” from the ground up.
13 Springville RP
- Total Visits: More than 55 million
- Server Size: 20 players
Springville RP is a hugely popular game in Roblox that only came out last year. It’s a constantly updated city-and-home-management game with large server sizes and a ton of roleplaying mechanics baked into the game. Fans of The Simpsons might be disappointed that the game doesn’t take place in the classic series’ version of Springfield, though.
Its latest update added a Mansion system to the game along with a Village Home, and that’s not to mention the surprising number of things that have already been added to the game like a Yacht House, family management, jobs in town, and lots of multiplayer potential.
12 Emergency Response: Liberty County
- Total Visits: More than 213 million
- Server Size: 30 players
Emergency Response: Liberty County is not the typical city and town game in Roblox as it puts the players in the shoes of an emergency response officer rather than a family man or a city manager. It’s more comparable to Lego City: Undercover than Sim City.
There are multiple different roles to choose from in Emergency Response: Liberty County on its high player count servers. Players can be a DoT worker, a Police Officer, a Sheriff, a Firefighter, or a Hospital Worker. Players can also choose to play civilian roles, like being a Farmer, and can even be a Criminal who incites the emergencies that need responding to.
11 Welcome to Bloxburg
- Total Visits: Nearly 5 billion total
- Server Size: 12 players
Welcome to Bloxburg is as close to a replica of The Sims in Roblox as players are likely to get. Players have to manage their character’s needs and wants, their activities and work schedule, and can customize their home and explore their surroundings in this top-down view simulator.
It’s one of the most popular games on Roblox thanks to its completely unique gameplay (of course inspired by The Sims) and the depth of things to do in the deceptively simple town of Bloxburg. Players won’t spend all of their time in the city, though, and this is closer to a home management game than a town-and-city-focused game.
10 Welcome to Farmtown!
- Total Visits: More than 36 million
- Server Size: 16 players
Welcome to Farmtown is a game within Roblox that includes farming, ranching, mining, cooking, town exploration, and a whole host of other activities to do. If Roblox has an analog to Stardew Valley in its library, this is it.
It has a certain claim to fame, too: it was one of the first Roblox games to feature a global chat that spanned across all servers currently running the game.
9 Mad City
- Total Visits: Nearly 2 billion
- Server Size: 26 players
Mad City is a game that offers players free roam over a city to do as they please. There’s a variety of roles in the game, like being a criminal, superhero, or a police officer, and even a number of special events and activities to do, such as heists.
The game features a relatively open world and boasts one of the highest player counts of any Roblox game, with more than 1.7 billion visits.
8 Seaboard City RP
- Total Visits: More than 168 million
- Server Size: 20 players
Seaboard City RP is a pretty deep roleplay simulation, for a Roblox game. The game features a city, multiple neighborhoods, a ton of customizable options and a number of different roles to try out in Seaboard City – it’s so popular, it’s even got its own line of merch.
The game was recently updated to include a new Tree House home and a new neighborhood, the Hawk Shore Homes, and is still updated on a regular basis.
7 MeepCity
- Total Visits: Nearly 12 billion
- Server Size: 200 players (!)
MeepCity is a roleplaying and home-customization Roblox game that boasts absolutely gigantic server sizes and countless things to do. It comes with a number of in-depth editors, including a character editor, multiple home editors, and more.
The game has over 10 billion visits and regularly tops the charts of Roblox player counts, and the huge 200 visitors allowed on each server makes for a constantly social experience comparable to an MMO.
6 Greenville
- Total Visits: More than 345 million
- Server Size: 25 players
Greenville is one of the prettier-looking Roblox games out there. It’s a car building and customizing game that lets players drive around the nearby town and roleplay, and it’s got a lot of customizations to choose from in terms of their vehicle’s appearance.
There are dozens and dozens of cars in the game, a realistic car driving and maintenance system, and various locale to explore in the well-designed town of Greenville.
5 Dinosaur City Simulator
- Total Visits: More than 44 million
- Server Size: 30 players
Dinosaur City Simulator is, essentially, a Godzilla simulator. Players don’t get to build a town or live in a city, instead, they take the role of a Dinosaur and have to beat other gigantic foes in a rampaging city-destroying fight – it’s a bit like the city destruction game Rampage, but instead of destroying the city intentionally it kind of just gets in the way.
The game has a lot of arenas, choices for playable characters, and surprisingly satisfying gameplay – it always feels good to crush a city beneath your feet, after all.
4 City Life Tycoon
- Total Visits: More than 36 million
- Server Size: 6 players
City Life Tycoon is a build-your-own kind of game that allows small groups of friends to explore a sandbox Roblox city. It’s got a pretty large map and drivable cars, as well as countless customization options for the rest of the city.
The game was last updated at the end of May 2021, and it’s still growing in popularity all the time. One thing to consider, though, is that the Max Visitor limit is only 6 players.
3 Playville RP
- Total Visits: More than 126 million
- Server Size: 28 players
Playville RP is a home management game that takes place in the city of Playville. The city map has a lot of locations, featuring a Pizza parlor, adoption center, pet training and adoption center, gas station, and a number of other landmarks.
The real draw of the game, though, is the family roleplay. The city is fun to explore, and a Max Visitor limit of 28 means you’ll run into other players pretty often online.
2 Tiny Town Tycoon
- Total Visits: More than 15 million
- Server Size: 5 players
Tiny Town Tycoon is a surprisingly complex city management game in Roblox that puts the player in charge of a town much smaller than they. The game features city simulation goals and income systems, as well as happiness management, life progression, and other in-depth city systems.
The game is meant to be mostly a single-player experience, but up to 5 visitors are allowed on a server at one time, making for a fun time trying to balance a city’s resources with the help of friends.
1 RoCitizens
- Total Visits: More than 725 million
- Server Size: 20 players
RoCitizens is a game with few like it in Roblox. Not only does it have typical City Roleplay systems like jobs, police, income, and home customization, it also has destructible environments and a gigantic explorable world. It’s one of the oldest City RP games on Roblox, having first been uploaded in December of 2013.
RoCitizens has grown significantly over the years, and recently was updated to include a cafe, an overhaul to the crime system, and a number of performance improvements to keep the game going for even longer.
