Airport City vs Patron
Airport City
Airport City is a pretty fun simulation and management game to play that provides you with the opportunity to build and develop both a modern airport and the nearby city that supports it. In this game, you’ll need to collect money, fuel and passengers from your city to be invested into your airport. At your airport, you can build and upgrade hangars (so you can purchase more and bigger planes), runways, repair depots and many more. Send your fleet of planes off to various locations and adventures, and who knows? Your planes may just bring back that something extra – collectibles – that you can add to your collection. Complete your collection to earn some goodies! Eventually, your airport city will have grown to a stage when you have the capability and resources to go into space exploration as well.Your airport city awaits you in Airport City! Are you ready to take on the challenge of restoring the city to its former glory?
Patron
Patron is a medieval-themed city-builder that is quite similar to Banished. In this game, you play as a pioneer sent by your King to colonize a new region. With a group of peasants to help, it is up to you to build a town from the ground up and develop it into one of the most prosperous colonies of the empire!The game is all about optimizing production chains and subsequently, pursuing advancements. So, at the beginning, it’s important to produce enough raw materials so you can have enough materials to “fuel” your other production facilities in order to craft more profitable items. As your town expands, you’ll need to make sure your production scales up accordingly, be it by upgrading existing structures or building new ones. This is where the challenge really comes in.
Of course, besides upgrades and expansions, you’ll want to invest in research so you could unlock better and, hence, more productive buildings, as well as new production facilities which will then allow you to produce items that are usually more luxurious and lucrative to trade. From time to time, you will receive various edicts from the King or news of certain events. You’ll then be expected to choose between the two decisions provided.
All in all, Patron is definitely a much better version of Banished in every way, and this saying something since I’ve enjoyed playing Banished. This game’s a solid medieval city-builder with a nice level of difficulty which matches what a midcore gamer like me can handle. The game is definitely worth the cost!
