Shelter vs Taonga
Shelter
Shelter is truly a one-of-a-kind game where you'll get to play as a mother badger who's taking care of her newly-born cubs. Developed by Might and Delight, the game puts you on an exciting yet heartwarming adventure as you travel about with your cubs in tow in hopes of finding the perfect shelter to raise them. In your journey, you and your family will encounter lots of danger and it is up to you - the mama badger - to protect your cubs from harm, whether it is a raging forest fire or a bird of prey.Besides adventure, the game also comes with a second game mode called Nurture. It's a lot like a Tamagochi game where you'll need to head into the game every day (at least once) to give your cubs the stuff they need to survive and also to forge closer bonds with them.
This is one of the breakout indie games of 2013 but it's not the sort of game that will get old with age, so if you love games where you'll get to play as an animal and you enjoy a good story-adventure, then Shelter is your best bet!
Taonga
Taonga is a fun and interesting farm simulation and adventure game that may bring to mind games like the Island Experiment. In this game, you’ve just inherited a populated tropical island in the Pacific region from a mysterious ancestor that you didn’t even know you had, but you took everything in stride and set off to develop the island into a beautiful tropical farm and also to help out the local tribes who were struggling to make a living for themselves. There are plenty secrets for you to uncover as you explore the island and who know? You may even stumble upon some treasures!Taonga is a game that might be a bit slower paced although you'll start off with a ton of energy to spend, but the adventure element it adds to the gameplay does help to break the monotony of routine virtual farming. If you're looking for a farm game that's a stone's throw away from run-of-the-mill farm sims, then Taonga is the game to play. Play it now on Facebook!
