Kingdoms and Castles vs Sphere - Flying Cities
Kingdoms and Castles
Kingdoms and Castles is a fun medieval city building game developed by the indie games company, Lion Shield. In this game, you'll get to not only build and develop your very own villages around your castle, but you'll also need to defend it from outside invaders. Being the leader, it is up to you to ensure that your people get enough food and supplies to survive the day-to-day in addition to the occasional raider and dragon attacks. How you optimize your cities is also another fun aspect of the gameplay as it provides you with plenty of population-boosting structures to build.Despite its blocky looks, Kingdoms and Castles is a surprisingly in-depth medieval-themed city-building and management game. If you enjoy other games of the same genre, you'll definitely like this game.
Sphere - Flying Cities
Sphere - Flying Cities is a city-building game that’s somewhat similar to Frostpunk except that it has a sci-fi theme, and allows for more exploration. Set in a world devastated by an asteroid, the remnants of humanity has managed to invent an anti-gravity machine which allows them to levitate a chunk of earth’s surface and move that piece of floating island around a world enveloped by debris and other dangers.Unfortunately, Sphere – Flying Cities falls short of what it aspires to be. The bugs and glitches aside, the gameplay here feels slow – very unlike the kind of urgency that Frostpunk offers, and the amount of player control over how many workers to assign to a facility is oddly restrictive for a city-builder. Personally, I would recommend keeping this game on your wishlist first and let the devs work on improving their game.
