Equestriad World Tour vs Shelter
Equestriad World Tour
Equestriad World Tour is a mobile horse game that was just recently launched, and boy! What a horse game it is! Giving other popular mobile horse games a run for their money, this new title features gorgeously-rendered horses that you can unlock as you level up, fun horse care-related mini-games, and most interestingly, multiplayer-based horse events including dressage, cross country and show jumping.Besides events, horse care is another vital aspect of the gameplay mainly because not only it is the right thing to do, but also your horse can get a nice stat boost if it is well taken care of. There are 4 parts to horse care, which include the usual like washing your horse, brushing it down, cleaning the hooves and giving it treats. However, note that your horse doesn’t like you cleaning certain parts of its body, and if you insist on doing so, you may risk reducing the bond you have with it, in addition to increasing its temper. You wouldn’t want to (attempt) to ride an angry horse, trust me.
To put it simply, Equestriad World Tour is exactly what a horse game should be! The game puts a lot of focus on horse care and on events, ensuring a nice balance between the well-being of your horse and your need to become the best equestrian there is! The game is still new though and although some players might be disappointed with the limited selection of horses available or that they could only own up to 2 horses, know that more is likely to come.
Shelter
Shelter is truly a one-of-a-kind game where you'll get to play as a mother badger who's taking care of her newly-born cubs. Developed by Might and Delight, the game puts you on an exciting yet heartwarming adventure as you travel about with your cubs in tow in hopes of finding the perfect shelter to raise them. In your journey, you and your family will encounter lots of danger and it is up to you - the mama badger - to protect your cubs from harm, whether it is a raging forest fire or a bird of prey.Besides adventure, the game also comes with a second game mode called Nurture. It's a lot like a Tamagochi game where you'll need to head into the game every day (at least once) to give your cubs the stuff they need to survive and also to forge closer bonds with them.
This is one of the breakout indie games of 2013 but it's not the sort of game that will get old with age, so if you love games where you'll get to play as an animal and you enjoy a good story-adventure, then Shelter is your best bet!
