Tropico Reloaded vs Virtual Villagers: The Secret City
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.
Virtual Villagers: The Secret City
Virtual Villagers: The Secret City is the third game in the Virtual Villagers series. In this game, you'll need to send your little villagers on a perilous yet necessary journey to re-populate the lost city of Isola. Thankfully, the place where the city was rumored to be on is rich with resources that can help your tribe to not only survive but also thrive... as long as you are there to guide them along. In addition to the intriguing storyline, this game also provides real-time weather which will greatly improve your gaming experience.If you're a fan of the Virtual Villager series, you wouldn't want to miss out on this game, but even if you're not, you might want to try this game out, especially if life simulation games are kind of your jam.
