Kingdoms and Castles vs Tropico Reloaded
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.
Tropico Reloaded
Tropico Reloaded is a strategic nation-building game that may feel a little like one of those really in-depth city-building simulation games. However, playing the role of the leader of a banana republic rather than simply being the mayor, you have a wider reach and influence over your people - you can choose to rule with an iron grip or with benevolence - and also the ability to amass an army to defend your said republic from external invaders and internal dissidents. Of course, you can also choose to be corrupt and set aside some funds for your swiss bank account.The game's expansion, Tropico: Paradise Island allows you to not only bring natural disasters on your people but also build tourist attractions as you open up your country for others to visit and of course, to bring in tons of cash. This reloaded version even includes Tropico 2, which will see you ruling over a pirate island as the Pirate King.
Tropico lets players enjoy the fun of managing their own country in their own respective ways much like a simulation game would, and yet, there is also a strategic element to it as you'll need to lead your armies or pirate crew to defend your people from time to time. This game may appeal to fans of city-builders or people who have always imagine themselves leading a nation.
