Funky Bay vs Rune Factory: Frontier
Funky Bay
Funky Bay is a tropical-themed farm simulation game that follows the life of an unnamed yet just your average office working guy when he decided to quit his job, rent a mobile home and head off to start a new life as a farmer on a beautiful island paradise. However, as you might expect, he has absolutely no clue how to get about setting up a farm... and this is exactly where you step in. Help him grow a huge range of crops, raise various farm animals, and turn all your raw produce into more valuable goods. Sell your products to the paddlers who visit your island or complete delivery orders to earn some extra cash. While you're at it, you can even explore the island to clear more land. Sometimes, you may even discover treasure chests filled with amazing goodies!Funky Bay isn't just "another farm game". So, if you're interested, be sure to drop by and set up a virtual farm there.
Rune Factory: Frontier
Rune Factory: Frontier sends you to the frontier town of Trampoli where you are expected to set up your very own virtual farm. Desiogned for the Wii console, you can literally do everything in the game simply by using your Wii remote and nunchuk (classic controllers are compatible as well), be it tilling the land, fighting monsters or fishing. The game has a much improved interaction system where your interactions and relationships, including romantic ones, feel a lot more life-like than usual, adding the rare EQ element to the gameplay.Unlike the previous games, you don't need to recruit monsters or townsfolk to maintain your farm for you. Due to the game's dynamic ecosystem, symbiotic creatures called Runeys will help hasten the growth time and quality of the plants you produce. And of course, there are plenty of dungeons for you to dive into, monsters to fight, and rare items to loot.
Rune Factory: Frontier is a pretty entertaining game overall, especially if you've enjoyed any of their previous or later games, and is definitely worth your time and money.
