Megapolis vs Northgard
Megapolis
Megapolis is an extremely fun and very aesthetic city-building game to play! The game contains a huge variety of residential buildings, infrastructures, factories, facilities and decorations, the majority of which are available for purchase for in-game cash. You can easily earn money by taking on contracts at factories and collecting trade taxes from infrastructures. Remember to provide sufficient power and water supply to fulfill your growing city’s needs as well. Expand your city to accommodate more people and buildings or you could head to a new unique location, such as an island or the Rockies to start over and build a new city (your old city will still be there, don’t worry!).Your city awaits, mayor! Play Megapolis now and build a sprawling metropolitan that you can truly be proud of!
Northgard
Northgard is a rather unique city-builder/strategy game that allows you to lead a group of Northmen to unknown new shores in hopes of making a life there. Like most city-building games, you'll need to help them set up a home, assign your Vikings to perform various roles, ensure there is enough food to feed the entire village, and amass a small army to help defend your territories from other hostile clans. The strategic aspects of the game may not be obvious at first but you'll quickly realize that new territories that you discover (you don't exactly need to conquer it for this to work) will present new strategic opportunities for your clan to expand or grow, be it new sources for food or a nice place to set up a new trading post. There are many victory conditions as well, so it's not always "kill or be killed" in this game.Northgard offers players a single player experience by playing with AIs with various personalities or with their friends online. However, many players have reported that the game does have a somewhat flawed AI-player relationship. Even if you're best buddies with an AI's clan through healthy trading relationships, their clan members will still attack your people, which frankly feels a lot like a betrayal. It'd be nice to have a tutorial as well.
That said though, Northgard is an impressive game especially if you enjoy a bit of city-builder/strategy game like Valhalla Hills.
