Craftlands Workshoppe vs SteamPower 1830
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!
SteamPower 1830

Similar to these game titles, Steampower 1830 is a strategy-based, tycoon-like simulation game where your ultimate goal is to build a flourishing railroad and business empire. Set up cities, tap into resource-rich locations, and build new tracks to connect them all to your ever-expanding railway network. The game also features a ton of beautifully and lovingly recreated locomotives from the Golden Age of steam trains (1830-1930) that you can buy and deploy in your network, to move people and goods from one location to another.The game world in SteamPower's 30 maps-strong single-player campaign, is completely configurable, allowing you to build and design your railways whichever way you like as well.
SteamPower 1830 is certainly a game that trains, railways and in essence, logistics enthusiasts will really enjoy playing. Who knows? You might have just found your calling as a railway magnate!
