Black & White vs Empires of the Undergrowth
Black & White
Black & White is a god-mode simulation game (a.k.a. God game) where players are casted into the role of an almighty god who is able to control the fate of an entire world and yet is dependant on the prayers of your subjects in order to increase your power. You can opt to be a merciless or a benevolent god but regardless of your choices, challenges will eventually arise and you will need to do what it takes to keep worships coming in.Unlike most sandbox games where you can control every single thing built, you can't really force your people to do as you as directly, but you could encourage them indirectly... and this is exactly what makes Black & White such a hit back in the day - a game concept that no one has ever experienced before. Unfortunately, it seems like this game won't be brought back soon and unless you managed to get a old hard copy of the game (and of course, make it work on your much more advanced PC), you may never get to play this game.
Empires of the Undergrowth
Empires of the Undergrowth is an absolutely-unique ant colony management game that, despite being still in early access, has caused waves of interest and hype, especially within the indie community. The game features plenty of exciting and challenging game modes to put your management system to the test as you try your best to help your ant colony survive threats after threats. The game also provides players with a nifty little pheromones-based system to organize their ants into groups, challenges to earn crucial resources from, a progression system, as well as an upgrade system whereby you can invest Royal Jellies to upgrade an ant type, unlock a new ant skill, or unlock access to a completely new ant type.The game is surprisingly educational too. It teaches about different ant species and how they usually survive in the wild be it from the lack of food, their natural environment, or from certain predators. This might be particularly interesting for someone who has always been fascinated by ants and their colonies. After all, in some way, you'll be getting a digital version of an ant farm or a formicarium of your own!
Empires of the Undergrowth may be an indie game, but it's definitely one of the most innovative and interesting ones out there. If you are keeping your eyes on indie games that you might want to buy, this is one game you mustn't keep your eyes off of.
