Ambition: A Minuet in Power vs Verdant Skies
Ambition: A Minuet in Power
Ambition: A Minuet in Power is a visual novel that’s filled with love and political intrigue. In this game, you play as a girl from a small town named Yvette Decaux, who was lucky enough to marry into nobility and live the rest of your life in luxury with the man you love, Baron Armand de Marbo… or so you thought. Set in 1789 Paris, it’ll test how well you can navigate the various factions in society via your fashion and dialogue choices in the very year where the French revolution was supposed to occur. Will you let history play out or will you change it? That’s for you to decide!Verdant Skies
Verdant Skies is an indie farm simulation/RPG combined with a pretty unique art style and visual novel-like dialogue choices. In this game, you play as the latest pioneer who was sent from Earth to a habitable alien planet whose main job is to set up and manage the farms at the colony, but of course, you are often asked to help out other characters with their tasks. You can also interact with the characters to increase your relationship level and eventually unlock new options such as being able to date them and start a family.Verdant Skies also features a straightforward gathering and crafting where every almost every action you take in this game will cost you time and/or energy. There's no need to restore the time you lost, but energy can be easily restored by consuming food. As a game that's very similar to Harvest Moon in essence, the game's farming aspect can be impressively in-depth, allowing you to splice the genes of your crops and your livestock to produce much more superior versions.
Verdant Skies is definitely the sort of game you'd want to check out if you've loved playing games like Harvest Moon, Staxel and even My Time at Portia. The game isn't too expensive either, considering the hours you can get out of it.
