Egg, Inc. vs Fantasy Farming: Orange Season
Egg, Inc.
Egg, Inc. is an insanely addictive farm-themed idle game where you’ll need to tap to send your chickens from the hatchery to the coop. There, they will produce eggs over time which you can then use your transport, be it a pickup truck or a simple trike, to sell. As you play, you’ll get to expand your egg farm by, for example, adding more coops, and upgrading your buildings.Like any self-respecting tycoon simulation game, Egg, Inc. also comes with a research system where you can invest the money you’ve made from selling eggs into various upgrades. As the value of your farm increases, you’ll be given the option to sell off your old farm and buy a new one. Although you’ll basically have to start all over, this new farm retains all unlocked epic research as well as other perks.
Despite being an idle game, Egg, Inc. has some elements of active play too. There are drones that you can tap to “shoot” down and steal the package it is carrying, for instance. To further increase your egg farm’s production and efficiency, the game gifts you random boosts from time to time.
Featuring minimalistic aesthetics, Egg, Inc. is one idle game that will keep you glued to the screen for hours on end. The progression in this game doesn’t feel too much like a grind and it’s just plain joy to be able to actually see your egg empire grow!
Fantasy Farming: Orange Season
Fantasy Farming: Orange Season is a relaxing farming game and is an amazing new addition to the growing popularity of farming games like Stardew Valley and other similar games, such as My Time at Portia. Grow various crops and earn tons of money, go out foraging and sell what you get, and build relationships with a colorful cast of characters in town by helping them with tasks, giving them gifts, and simply talking to them every day.Being essentially a farming simulation game, you can expect to spend most of your playtime planting, watering, and harvesting a variety of crops. The game starts you off with a handful of them, but as you progress, more crops are unlocked and you’ll then be able to buy their respective seeds at the store at a price. Some seeds even require specific conditions to grow.
Considering there that crops take some time to grow and mature, you’ll likely be spending most of the remainder of your time trying to earn cash by foraging. Foraging here means picking up stuff that is dropped on the ground like sticks, fruits, flowers, etc. Once you can go into the mines and start mining for stuff, you can harvest a variety of valuable ores and stones as well.
You’ll also want to head over to the town as soon as you can. Here, you’ll be able to interact with a variety of characters, some of which have quirky personalities. You’ll need to help them with their requests from time to time and you’ll get something nice in return. You can also gift them presents and depending on what they personally like, they may or may not appreciate said gift.
Fantasy Farming: Orange Season has a gameplay that’s somewhat similar to another indie farm game, My Time at Portia, albeit with cute pixel graphics similar to Stardew Valley. And if you love that game, you’ll definitely love this one. The grind here is real though, so if you find grinding for materials on MMOs to be fun and relaxing, you might be able to enjoy playing this game.
