Dreamfields vs Patron
Dreamfields
Dreamfields is a unique farming simulation game that happens inside a dream world of a magical forest. Inside your dream, you can plant different crops on your farm and ask the bears for help. Your harvest can make many things to sell in the market or collect to build different structures that grant you more resources. All in all, Dreamfields is one of the most unique farm simulation games of its time. Its artful presentation and creative twists to a simple farming game makes it an interesting world of endless discovery and possibilities. With dozens of crops, a long list of resources and the ability to combine them, this game makes anything possible. It truly is a dream to play, and you’ll soon be lost in this mesmerizing world of wonders.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!
