Craftlands Workshoppe vs Kitchen Craze
Craftlands Workshoppe
Craftlands Workshoppe is a tycoon-like game that’s filled with fun adventures. In this game, you’ve inherited the workshoppe of your mentor, Allcrafts – the only master craftsman who managed to master all the craftmanship skills available, and your goal is to revitalize his workshoppe business and maybe make a name for yourself!The gameplay here is pretty much what I’d expect of a “grind simulator”. What this means is that the game, being a tycoon, requires you to gather resources or buy them, turn them into more valuable goods via crafting, and then sell them off at a nice profit margin - though you don’t have much say as to how much you can price your items. Rinse and repeat.
The game lets you choose between 3 starting professions, namely Alchemy, Cook, and Blacksmith, and from there, you can earn enough to purchase licenses to unlock the other professions. The goal here is for you to master them all. There’s actually a fourth profession, which unlocks the Assembly table, but that can only be obtained once you’ve completed a milestone quest.
Crafting is fairly easy for both Alchemy and Cooking since it either involves waiting out the cooking time or making sure to spend enough energy to brew the potion properly. However, for blacksmithing, there’s a little mini-game that you’ll need to play in order to make an item. Basically, there will be a fast-moving indicator on a meter and your goal is to click whenever it enters a green area on the said meter. If you miss, you’ll have to start over, wasting all the effort and energy you might have spent.
In short, Craftlands Workshoppe is a rather grindy tycoon-like adventure game that has a pretty humorous streak. Due to how grindy it can get, the game might just not be everyone’s cup of tea. However, if you’ve always had a liking for crafting-based tycoons and the idea of managing your own shop, and that you don’t mind spending hours just grinding away gathering materials, crafting items or selling goods, then this game should be right up your alley!
Kitchen Craze
Kitchen Craze is an intense and rather fast-paced, time management game that has a gameplay that is very similar to Big Fish Games' most recent hit, Cooking Craze. Instead of the usual drag and drop, you simply need to tap to prepare your ingredients, cook them and serve the cooked dishes to your customers... it's that easy!The food variety in this game is pretty huge as well. you'll be serving a myriad of food types ranging from fast food to Mexican tacos; from Japanese sushi to Italian pizzas. There are plenty of restaurants for you to unlock as you advance in this game and of course, if you crave for an extra bit of challenge, you can even hop on over to the game's food court challenge and put your time management skills to the test.
Overall, Kitchen Craze may not introduce any element that is uniquely its own, but if you love Cooking Craze and would like to play another game just like it, then this game will be just perfect for you.
