Airport City vs Meeple Station
Airport City
Airport City is a pretty fun simulation and management game to play that provides you with the opportunity to build and develop both a modern airport and the nearby city that supports it. In this game, you’ll need to collect money, fuel and passengers from your city to be invested into your airport. At your airport, you can build and upgrade hangars (so you can purchase more and bigger planes), runways, repair depots and many more. Send your fleet of planes off to various locations and adventures, and who knows? Your planes may just bring back that something extra – collectibles – that you can add to your collection. Complete your collection to earn some goodies! Eventually, your airport city will have grown to a stage when you have the capability and resources to go into space exploration as well.Your airport city awaits you in Airport City! Are you ready to take on the challenge of restoring the city to its former glory?
Meeple Station
Meeple Station is a space-themed, sandbox simulation game that focuses a lot on exploration, trading and team management. In this game, you’ll need to build your starter space station and then venture out into the galaxy to find a place to set up shop, so to speak. Mine nearby resources and refine them into valuable bars and other alloys, and trade the resources you have with passing spaceships for resources that you don’t. Don’t forget to assign your meeples with tasks that suit their respective personalities, and give them everything they need to be content despite being cooped up in a tightly-packed space station.The game doesn't have a multiplayer mode (yet), but I can see the potential of having the game mode added in the future where players will be able to trade with each other and even raid other player’s stations to plunder resources. It’ll probably be somewhat similar to Minecraft’s multiplayer mode.
Overall, Meeple Station is definitely an early access game with plenty of potential. Despite the bugs and game issues, it is a rather fun sandbox game to play where you can build your own space station, explore the galaxy, mine and trade for resources, and manage your team of adorable meeples. If you’re interested, Meeple Station is currently available for purchase on Steam. Check it out!
