Banished vs Taonga
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.
Taonga
Taonga is a fun and interesting farm simulation and adventure game that may bring to mind games like the Island Experiment. In this game, you’ve just inherited a populated tropical island in the Pacific region from a mysterious ancestor that you didn’t even know you had, but you took everything in stride and set off to develop the island into a beautiful tropical farm and also to help out the local tribes who were struggling to make a living for themselves. There are plenty secrets for you to uncover as you explore the island and who know? You may even stumble upon some treasures!Taonga is a game that might be a bit slower paced although you'll start off with a ton of energy to spend, but the adventure element it adds to the gameplay does help to break the monotony of routine virtual farming. If you're looking for a farm game that's a stone's throw away from run-of-the-mill farm sims, then Taonga is the game to play. Play it now on Facebook!
