Archeo: Shinar vs Turmoil
Archeo: Shinar
Archeo: Shinar is a fun, archeological-themed, business management-style game where you get to assemble a team of archeologists and send them on expeditions to excavate for valuable ancient items that you can then sell at the black market.Although the gameplay is pretty much casual-like, there are so many little details that you can scrutinize and optimize in this game just so you can run a more profitable business. Of course, as the leader of the team, you'll also be asked to make difficult decisions, some of which may not be well-received by the archeologists you hire.
So, if you love playing games where you'll need to manage a team and resources, you'll want to check out Archeo Shinar. The game is in-depth enough to be fun but is casual enough to be relaxing to play.
Turmoil
Turmoil , developed by Gamious, is a tycoon-like simulation game where you play as one of four oil miners, all of which are hoping to get rich on what is supposedly "black gold". This game offers a charming yet humorous take on the 19th century oil rush in North American in addition to letting players participate in this momentous period of time. Bid against other entrepreneurs for land that potentially contain enough oil for you to strike it rich, dowse for oil deposits and build oil rigs to mine them. There are also two companies you can sell all the oil to, and depending on the prices they offer, it's best to choose the most profitable time to sell.Of course, as you drill for and sell oil, the money you spend in town will help it develop and grow. In return, you can grab a ton of beneficial upgrades for a price, which, in turn, will help you earn even more money. Eventually, you can even buy town stocks and try your luck at becoming the mayor!
In addition to being incredibly addictive to play, Turmoil is a game that perfectly embodies the crazed mentality of the oil rush back then (and perhaps even now). Granted at not all game mechanics are realistic - it is a game after all, but if you love tycoon-like simulation games, you'll definitely enjoy playing this one.
