SimCity vs Tropico Reloaded
SimCity
SimCity is the inspiration of every city-building game ever made and it is so for a very good reason. The game not only allows you to build a virtual city of your own design, the city-building process is incredibly intricate and once it's done, you can even enjoy watching your little Sims go about their day. As their mayor, you can't exactly do whatever you like if you hope to keep your people's support. Due to this, it is important to take your Sims' feedback and improve the city accordingly.The best part though is its multiplayer aspect. You can actually team up with your friends to help solve global challenges in your city, projects that range from launching a space shuttle or construct amazing wonders of the world. Compete with other mayors from all around the world in a variety of categories on the leaderboard!
SimCity is a revolutionary game when it was first released and it is still inspiring a ton of new and in-depth city-building simulation games until today. Take up the role of a mayor in a simulated city now and see how well a job you can do!
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.
