Banished vs CastleVille Legends
Banished
Banished is a medieval-themed city-building simulation that can be pretty difficult to get into at first mainly due to its many nuances and lack of a comprehensive tutorial. But once you get the general idea of how things work (we'd recommend starting with easy mode), you'll start to truly appreciate the game as the challenge that it is. In some way, this game is quite similar to SimCity in many ways with the obvious difference being the themes and the lack of piping, waste management or electricity. Different maps will pose a different challenge and of course, the bigger your village is, the more stuff you'll need to manage. Although it does have some strategy elements to it - mainly in the form of village management, the game is not a war game. There is no fighting involved but your villagers will die from natural causes or disasters like illnesses or famine.However, once you've gotten the hang of the game, Banished becomes less of a punishing game and a bit more boring due to the same-y looking buildings and the soundtrack. When it comes to replayability, we'd say that the game has maybe tens of hours in it before you'll get bored and move on to the next game... and this play duration may be drastically reduced if you happen to be a pro SimCity player.
So, in short, Banished will appear to be a somewhat frustrating game at first, but once you've gotten the hang of it, the game might gradually becomes boring mainly because there is nothing else to do except to expand, expand and expand! However, we can't say that we didn't enjoy playing the game, and even for the shorter play duration it has to offer, as opposed to triple A city-building titles, the game is worth the money it costs.
CastleVille Legends
CastleVille Legends is a rather interesting and fast-paced medieval-fantasy-themed game. In this game, you are called upon to push back the Gloom – the curse that was once placed on the realm by an envious wizard, and restore the realm to its former beauty! However, to do this as well as helping your kingdom to grow, you’ll need to manage your resources and accumulate coins by selling the goods produced. Occasionally, you may even encounter trapped inhabitants of the realm that will require your rescue! In return, they will help you recover ancient treasures by exploring places of legend in the game. Although the gameplay can be very monotonous after some time, the game provides quests to shake things up a bit.Unfortunately, like Castleville, CastleVille Legends has been shuttered by Zynga and will not be returning anytime soon.
