Animal Crossing vs Empires of the Undergrowth
Animal Crossing
Animal Crossing is the critically-acclaimed first game in the popular simulation series where you play as the new mayor of a quaint little town filled with adorable animal characters, such as K.K. Slider and Tom Nook, each with their own unique personalities and quirks.Animal Crossing has caught the attention of the gaming community mainly because it is possibly the first game to have integrated the passing of time based on the time in real life. This means if you log in after a few days, you'll notice some changes these few days have wrought. The decor in town will automatically change as well during special holidays.
Sounds like a game you'll enjoy? Well, the original Animal Crossing game is no longer available since Nintendo has discontinued its Gameboy Cube platform, but you can still experience the series by playing any one of their other Animal Crossing games.
Empires of the Undergrowth
Empires of the Undergrowth is an absolutely-unique ant colony management game that, despite being still in early access, has caused waves of interest and hype, especially within the indie community. The game features plenty of exciting and challenging game modes to put your management system to the test as you try your best to help your ant colony survive threats after threats. The game also provides players with a nifty little pheromones-based system to organize their ants into groups, challenges to earn crucial resources from, a progression system, as well as an upgrade system whereby you can invest Royal Jellies to upgrade an ant type, unlock a new ant skill, or unlock access to a completely new ant type.The game is surprisingly educational too. It teaches about different ant species and how they usually survive in the wild be it from the lack of food, their natural environment, or from certain predators. This might be particularly interesting for someone who has always been fascinated by ants and their colonies. After all, in some way, you'll be getting a digital version of an ant farm or a formicarium of your own!
Empires of the Undergrowth may be an indie game, but it's definitely one of the most innovative and interesting ones out there. If you are keeping your eyes on indie games that you might want to buy, this is one game you mustn't keep your eyes off of.
