Craftlands Workshoppe vs Indoorlands
Craftlands Workshoppe
Craftlands Workshoppe is a tycoon-like game that’s filled with fun adventures. In this game, you’ve inherited the workshoppe of your mentor, Allcrafts – the only master craftsman who managed to master all the craftmanship skills available, and your goal is to revitalize his workshoppe business and maybe make a name for yourself!The gameplay here is pretty much what I’d expect of a “grind simulator”. What this means is that the game, being a tycoon, requires you to gather resources or buy them, turn them into more valuable goods via crafting, and then sell them off at a nice profit margin - though you don’t have much say as to how much you can price your items. Rinse and repeat.
The game lets you choose between 3 starting professions, namely Alchemy, Cook, and Blacksmith, and from there, you can earn enough to purchase licenses to unlock the other professions. The goal here is for you to master them all. There’s actually a fourth profession, which unlocks the Assembly table, but that can only be obtained once you’ve completed a milestone quest.
Crafting is fairly easy for both Alchemy and Cooking since it either involves waiting out the cooking time or making sure to spend enough energy to brew the potion properly. However, for blacksmithing, there’s a little mini-game that you’ll need to play in order to make an item. Basically, there will be a fast-moving indicator on a meter and your goal is to click whenever it enters a green area on the said meter. If you miss, you’ll have to start over, wasting all the effort and energy you might have spent.
In short, Craftlands Workshoppe is a rather grindy tycoon-like adventure game that has a pretty humorous streak. Due to how grindy it can get, the game might just not be everyone’s cup of tea. However, if you’ve always had a liking for crafting-based tycoons and the idea of managing your own shop, and that you don’t mind spending hours just grinding away gathering materials, crafting items or selling goods, then this game should be right up your alley!
Indoorlands
Indoorlands is an indoor theme park simulation game where you can build your theme park from the ground up, decorate the place, customize each ride, and make as much money as you can by fulfilling your visitors’ needs. There’s also a research tree where you can unlock new ride and décor halls to build, thematic decor to place, and increase the number of visitors your park can support. Honestly, if you’ve played Parkitect before, Indoorlands will feel somewhat similar, albeit a simpler version of it, and indoors. Rides, for instance, are placed in specialized “ride halls” while décor can be placed either in ride halls or special décor halls.Now, despite currently being in early access, Indoorlands already has enough content for tens of hours of play, especially if you are simply obsessed over creating the best possible theme park with a high visitor approval rating. The game is also completely sandbox-based so you’re given free rein to create your park as you like. You can even take over the controls of a ride, have fun operating it, or even set your own ride program. However, that is not to say that the game’s a perfect early access title. It does have some hiccups and some room for improvement, especially when it comes to the depth of some of its features. Still, the game’s definitely worth its asking price even now and if you love theme park sims in general, you’ll definitely enjoy playing Indoorlands!
