Empires of the Undergrowth vs Theme Hospital
Empires of the Undergrowth
Empires of the Undergrowth is an absolutely-unique ant colony management game that, despite being still in early access, has caused waves of interest and hype, especially within the indie community. The game features plenty of exciting and challenging game modes to put your management system to the test as you try your best to help your ant colony survive threats after threats. The game also provides players with a nifty little pheromones-based system to organize their ants into groups, challenges to earn crucial resources from, a progression system, as well as an upgrade system whereby you can invest Royal Jellies to upgrade an ant type, unlock a new ant skill, or unlock access to a completely new ant type.The game is surprisingly educational too. It teaches about different ant species and how they usually survive in the wild be it from the lack of food, their natural environment, or from certain predators. This might be particularly interesting for someone who has always been fascinated by ants and their colonies. After all, in some way, you'll be getting a digital version of an ant farm or a formicarium of your own!
Empires of the Undergrowth may be an indie game, but it's definitely one of the most innovative and interesting ones out there. If you are keeping your eyes on indie games that you might want to buy, this is one game you mustn't keep your eyes off of.
Theme Hospital
Theme Hospital is a timeless and fun simulation game where you - obviously - manage a virtual hospital of your own. Turn the failing hospital around and help the sick that came to your hospital for aid as much as you help line your own pockets. As you might expect, the game also has plenty of the hospital drama that you might have seen in TV shows - the rush of a last-minute save or that nasty gossip floating around about the doctor and his nurses; some of which are depicted in the game in a rather humorous way. There are even some really funny diseases and diagnosis in this game.So, do you think you'll be able to make use of what resources you start off with and make your way up the pyramid that is the health care industry? If so, you simply must check out Theme Hospital. It may be an old game - old enough to be classified as an "abandonware" but it's still as golden as ever - The very epitome of what it means to be a hospital simulation game!
