Colony Survival vs This War of Mine
Colony Survival
Colony Survival is a voxel-based town-building simulation game that emphasizes on ensuring the survival (and expansion) of your colony of people, be it by making sure they have enough food to not starve to death or by stationing enough archers around the parameter of your castle walls to repel zombies. Like Minecraft or any sandbox games, you are free to build any base you like (underground, in the sky, or a proper medieval castle with a moat and a drawbridge) as long as you've got the materials (a.k.a. blocks) to go with it and there are various crafting stations which you can build and then assign a worker to just so you can create better and more advanced items.Aside from its infinite, procedurally-generated world, the game also uses an advanced 3D dynamic pathfinding system, allowing you to funnel your people along a specific path simply by having the necessary designs. The same goes for the zombies which usually come out at night to besiege your castle and your sleeping populace. As long as the zombies can't get in and slaughter your people, you can keep expanding your population and your kingdom to whatever size you like!
Colony Survival can even be customized to whatever difficulty you like, depending on how well you think you can best the zombies. So, if you enjoy Minecraft-like games but you also happen to enjoy a "build your own maze", tower defense-like gameplay, then Colony Survival game is definitely for you!
This War of Mine
This War of Mine is an indie, 2D survival management game that, unlike most games in its genre, is set not in a post-apocalyptic world but in a war-torn country. Despite being war-themed, the game doesn't cast you into the role of the brave soldier but of the average citizen trying to make the best of the situation and to survive long enough until the war breaks (if it ever).Due to this twist of perspective, along with the fact that every decision and action you make has consequences, both mentally and physically, on the character who did the deed as well as the team, the game ended up having a very tragic undertone and atmosphere throughout its gameplay. After all, you do have to make some difficult decisions in an effort to keep your people alive. From time to time, special events may also pop up and you will need to make a decision to be involved or to stay out of it.
Survival is also another important aspect of the game, and as such, you will need to scavenge for supplies and ensure that your people are well-fed and watered. Materials, tools, and items you gathered over your trips outdoors can be used to craft something else or be sold for some extra cash. During wartime, people are naturally more cautious and for some, more aggressive. It's wise to be careful whenever you encounter other "people" (they are NPCs), especially armed ones, lest your character get slain and your team stumbles straight into depression.
This War of Mine made headlights and game history with its challenging gameplay and of course, its brutally-honest look at the true victims of war. If you think your heart is ready to go through a rollercoaster of emotions, most of which are of the "sad" sort, then, you simply must give this game a try.
