Anno 2205 vs The Shrouded Isle
Anno 2205
Anno 2205 is, in some way, a "grand simulation" game and a city-builder that is set in the far future where Earth has already been developed to its maximum capacity and it's time to take to the stars. However, this game is no space exploration sim. Instead, you'll still be focusing much of your development effort on Earth but this time around, you'll get to expand your influence to the moon; to mine the resources there and bring it back to Earth. The gameplay is also further enhanced with a unique Session mode where you can play on multiple locations and then connect all of these regions together. And of course, the map of the region you can play in is a lot larger (five times, to be exact) than the previous game.However, many fans of the game have pointed out that the combat system is rather boring in this game. Though admittedly, the combat in other Anno games isn't particularly exciting either. It's just something that's necessary.
That said, the gameplay might still be interesting enough for you to buy the game, maybe at a discounted price, but for some, the game might not be comparable to any of the other Anno titles. It's up to you to decide which camp you fall into.
The Shrouded Isle
The Shrouded Isle is a very unique simulation game with a dark Lovecraftian-theme, where you assume the role of the High Priest of a cult and do your best to make sure that your fellow cultists stay true to the commandments of the Dark Lord until judgment day. Discover the sinners hidden among the loyal through any means necessary, so you can sacrifice them at the altar to purge your cult of these sinners and appease the ravenous appetite of the Dark Lord.The Shrouded Isle is not just a one-of-a-kind simulation game that lets you become the cult leader of a dark cult filled with seemingly psychotic people; it is also a game that will definitely make you question your morality, and perhaps after hours of burning books, encouraging self-flagellation, executing heretics and sacrificing sinners, your state of mind... especially if you find yourself enjoying the game. The game is as strategic as it is challenging, but at the end of the day, it is just fun to be able to mess with the people in your cult and experience a game as uniquely different as The Shrouded Isle. So, head on over to The Shrouded Isle today to do the Dark Lord’s bidding and reap the rewards once judgment day comes around!
