Elite Dangerous vs Meeple Station
Elite Dangerous
Elite Dangerous is a MMO space simulation game that not only offers players a ton of customizatable spaceships of all shapes and sizes; it also provides players with a massive open world galaxy to explore and have adventures in. In this game, you'll need to do whatever it takes to improve your rank among the Elites and there are multiple ways to do so - you can literally craft your own legacy. You can take the easy-way out and become a space smuggler, a space pirate, or a bounty hunter, or you can opt to earn a honest living by being a trader or a miner. The galaxy in this game is very much alive and will change based on your actions and decisions... as well as the actions and decisions of all the other players playing in the same galaxy as you do.Unknown to many, Elite Dangerous is actually the third sequel to the popular 1984's genre-defining Elite game farnchise. This polished and drastically upgraded version will definitely be able to appeal to a whole new generation of space sim fans. If you happen to be one of them, you'll want to check this game out!
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!
