Hi Farm: Merge Fun! vs Virtual Villagers: Origins
Hi Farm: Merge Fun!
Hi Farm: Merge Fun! is a fun little, farm-themed puzzle game that may bring to mind games like Marge Farm! In fact, I’d go as far as to call this game a clone of the latter. However, Hi Farm does bring a few improvements, often graphical in nature, to the table. The gameplay is basically the same as Merge Farm where you'll need to merge tiles of the same type and level of crops to level them up. You can build pens and coops to rear cow and chickens. You can merge these enclosures to level them up as well. The same goes for crafting facilities where you can convert your raw harvests into more profitable goods like bread and juice. The crops and other items you collect can then be sold to the customers at the top part of the screen. The coins you earned can then be reinvested into your farm by buying more seeds, expanding your farm, or even placing decor.Although Hi Farm: Merge Fun isn’t exactly unique, the game does try to “change things up”, so to speak, by providing players with much better graphics – personally, I adore the way your customers are presented as opposed to the style used in Merge Farm! This game isn’t perfect though. Despite being a clone, it’s not as detailed as Merge Farm and as such, you only get 2 types of animals and 2 crafting facilities. It would be nice to have more.
Virtual Villagers: Origins
Virtual Villagers: Origins is the village simulation game that is developed to answer the question of "what if The Sims is set in tribal times" and it did so perfectly. In this game, you'll need to help the fellow members of your tribe to survive in a mysterious new island by getting them to take up important roles, like farmers, builders and scientists. Grow your tribe and send them to explore the island they have now made their home on. There are also plenty of fun and challenging, random events that will spice up the day-to-day routine, allowing you to make use of your excellent problem-solving skills.In many ways, Virtual Villagers: Origins is very similar to other life simulation games like Virtual Families or, as mentioned, The Sims. For fans of such games, you'll find Virtual Villagers: Origins a suitable alternative.
