Command & Conquer: Red Alert vs Meeple Station
Command & Conquer: Red Alert
Command & Conquer: Red Alert is set in an alternate world, where Einstein stops Hitler from becoming the head of Germany and the Second World War. In this timeline, Stalin’s Russia has taken over the entirety of the Eurasian landmass, with parts of China and Eastern Europe under their control. Now it falls to the allied nations to try and stop them from world domination. With the war imminent you are able to choose your side, and decide the future of the world in a stunning RTS game.With some of the most genre defining gameplay, this title has a huge amount going for it. With an ease of playing and controls that allow you to focus on the game and its story rather than clunky mechanics. With the cutscenes you have come to expect, and huge armies waiting for you to command there is a lot in this game that is both exciting and ambitious, and it works really well.
Meeple Station
Meeple Station is a space-themed, sandbox simulation game that focuses a lot on exploration, trading and team management. In this game, you’ll need to build your starter space station and then venture out into the galaxy to find a place to set up shop, so to speak. Mine nearby resources and refine them into valuable bars and other alloys, and trade the resources you have with passing spaceships for resources that you don’t. Don’t forget to assign your meeples with tasks that suit their respective personalities, and give them everything they need to be content despite being cooped up in a tightly-packed space station.The game doesn't have a multiplayer mode (yet), but I can see the potential of having the game mode added in the future where players will be able to trade with each other and even raid other player’s stations to plunder resources. It’ll probably be somewhat similar to Minecraft’s multiplayer mode.
Overall, Meeple Station is definitely an early access game with plenty of potential. Despite the bugs and game issues, it is a rather fun sandbox game to play where you can build your own space station, explore the galaxy, mine and trade for resources, and manage your team of adorable meeples. If you’re interested, Meeple Station is currently available for purchase on Steam. Check it out!
