Admirals: Caribbean Empires vs RollerCoaster Tycoon World
Admirals: Caribbean Empires
Admirals: Caribbean Empires is a brand-new, browser-based strategy/tycoon game developed by Travian. Set in the 17th century, during the Age of Exploration, you’ll need to live up to your new role as a captain and earn Glory for your King and country by building a trading empire, expanding your fleet, and taking on the enemies of the King.So, basically, what you’ll be doing is to buy certain profitable goods from one port and then shipping the goods to another port to sell them off for a much more lucrative price. You can set up multiple trade routes and the ships will automatically run the routes until you put a stop to it. You can also explore the Caribbean with your scoutships to discover new cities and floating loot. However, you'll need to be careful of the pirates and rival players that roam the seas. Unless you're well-equipped, your ship may not survive the encounter!
Interestingly, the game has a political aspect to it as well. You can be appointed as a governor of a city and launch attacks on other cities in an attempt to bring those cities into the fold.
In short, Admirals: Caribbean Empires is a pretty fun and entertaining game that lets you build your trading empire in the Caribbean in the 17th century, battle pirates and navigate the political intrigue of the era if you so wish to. It’s definitely not the sort of game that you can play for hours at a stretch but instead, you can check in now and then to modify your trade routes and explore new areas on the map using your scoutships.
RollerCoaster Tycoon World
RollerCoaster Tycoon World is possibly the worst RollerCoaster Tycoon game ever and this is completely ironic because this game comes after the insane success that is RollerCoaster Tycoon 3. The thing about this game is that the gameplay itself isn't exactly that bad. It simply offers players more of the same stuff - place attractions including amazing prebuilt rollercoasters though you can build coasters yourself as well, set up facilities and paths for your visitors, adjust the pricing and sit back and watch the money roll in. RollerCoaster Tycoon World feels a lot like a massive city building games, SimCity and City: Skylines where "congestion" can occur if you do not lay enough paths for your visitors to walk on, especially for high traffic areas around incredibly popular rides.However, things went to the dogs once your park starts to attract a ton more visitors. For a game that's not exactly graphically-heavy, your frame rate will plummet and everything will move in glitchy slow motion, making the game literally unplayable. For an established franchise like RollerCoaster Tycoon, this poor optimization of the game's performance is outright disappointing. Worst yet, apparently the developers have given up completely on the game, not bothering to even fix the problems that every single player encounter. Of course, that's not including the huge amount of bugs, some of which are game-breaking, that this game is infested with.
Thus, to sum up, if you want to enjoy a fun amusement park tycoon game, you might want to opt for any of the other RollerCoaster Tycoon games except this one.
