Kitchen Scramble vs Stranded Sails - Explorers of the Cursed Islands
Kitchen Scramble
Kitchen Scramble is a cooking-themed time management game that is somewhat similar to Cooking Tale though the graphics look a whole lot amazing due to the change in the camera view. However, when it comes to the gameplay, both games are pretty similar. You'll need to cook and prepare the food that your customers have ordered before they ran out of patience (patience level vary depending on customers) and leave your shop. Naturally, you'll want to serve them as soon as you can just to earn a lot more tips. These cash can then be used to upgrade your kitchen appliances - not much decorations for you to buy here though. If you need help, there are boosters you can buy as well.Kitchen Scramble features a really wide variety of dishes from different cultures and countries worldwide. Interestingly, although the game does have a travelling element to it, the cities you get to go to are rather humourously named, like "Mount Foodji" or "Sour Francisdough". It does give the game a bit more appeal, making players more eager to unlock the next city and the next one after that. Not to mention, aside from premium appliances, this game also has premium ingredients to help you earn more cash.
As much as I've enjoyed Cooking Tale, I personally prefers Kitchen Scramble mainly because of the camera view. It makes the game look nicer in a 3D-like kind of way and well, your character won't be blocking your customers either. However, if you're looking for an alternative to Kitchen Scramble or maybe a slightly easier, time management game, then you might want to check out Cooking Tale instead.
Stranded Sails - Explorers of the Cursed Islands
Stranded Sails - Explorers of the Cursed Islands is a farm simulation/adventure game where you’ll not only need to maintain a farm and make sure that your surviving crew’s needs are being met; you’ll also need to set off on mini-expeditions to explore the many mysterious islands within the archipelago and to discover the secrets they hide. Maybe, if you’re lucky, you might end up finding a way off the island after all!The game is really easy to get into, mainly because the game is driven by its story-based quests so by completing these quests, you be able to unlock new areas and even new tools that will allow you access to different parts of the archipelago. However, you’re given complete freedom to explore any of the islands as you wish, though there are certain parts of the island that would be “roped off” until you’ve progressed far enough into the story and have unlocked the necessary tools.
Everything you do in this game requires energy - and yes, this includes walking – and it’s the main “currency” you’ll need to keep an eye on whenever you head out for a bout of exploring or just a resource-gathering run. Due to this energy system, the gameplay here can be quite strategic, forcing you to decide when you’d want to focus on exploring and when you’d want to spend some of the energy you have to gather some resources like fishing and chopping some trees.
Being a farm simulation game, Stranded Sails also has an allocated area within your base camp for you to grow some crops and feed your crew. You can even try your luck by fishing at the ocean, and then use those raw ingredients to whip up some delicious food to fuel your adventures.
So, overall, Stranded Sails is an oddly strategic farm sim/adventure game mainly because of its energy system, and as a result, the game isn’t as casual as some players would have liked. That said, the game has an interesting storyline going for it, and the gameplay, aside from the energy aspect, isn’t too shabby either. It’s definitely a game that fans of Harvest Moon or other similar games would love to play.
