Farm Slam vs Stranded Sails - Explorers of the Cursed Islands
Farm Slam
Farm Slam is a fun-filled, farm-themed match-3 puzzle game whereby you are tasked with the restoration and rebuilding of a farm in the valley. Match 3 or more fruits and vegetables of the same type to collect them from the board, and if you match more than 3, you can get some really special crops which can clear entire rows or columns, or even all the other farm produce around them in a magnificent fashion! There are tons of exciting challenges and obstacles that will put your matching skills to the test as well. Due to this, the game does have some helpful power-ups that you can buy so you can solve some of the tougher levels.Not to mention, by earning energy, tools, and building materials, you can spruce the place up with brilliant decor, restore rundown buildings like the barn and the windmill, and even clear away obstacles on your farmland, such as stones and tree stumps, to open up more building slots. You can also expand your farm by piecing together parts of the deeds you'll need to claim neighboring plots of land.
Farm Slam is a very well-made match-3 puzzle/simulation game that mimics games like Matchington Mansion in many ways albeit with a much different theme. The game is incredibly fun to play and it just feels satisfying to be able to help restore the originally beautiful farm.
Stranded Sails - Explorers of the Cursed Islands
Stranded Sails - Explorers of the Cursed Islands is a farm simulation/adventure game where you’ll not only need to maintain a farm and make sure that your surviving crew’s needs are being met; you’ll also need to set off on mini-expeditions to explore the many mysterious islands within the archipelago and to discover the secrets they hide. Maybe, if you’re lucky, you might end up finding a way off the island after all!The game is really easy to get into, mainly because the game is driven by its story-based quests so by completing these quests, you be able to unlock new areas and even new tools that will allow you access to different parts of the archipelago. However, you’re given complete freedom to explore any of the islands as you wish, though there are certain parts of the island that would be “roped off” until you’ve progressed far enough into the story and have unlocked the necessary tools.
Everything you do in this game requires energy - and yes, this includes walking – and it’s the main “currency” you’ll need to keep an eye on whenever you head out for a bout of exploring or just a resource-gathering run. Due to this energy system, the gameplay here can be quite strategic, forcing you to decide when you’d want to focus on exploring and when you’d want to spend some of the energy you have to gather some resources like fishing and chopping some trees.
Being a farm simulation game, Stranded Sails also has an allocated area within your base camp for you to grow some crops and feed your crew. You can even try your luck by fishing at the ocean, and then use those raw ingredients to whip up some delicious food to fuel your adventures.
So, overall, Stranded Sails is an oddly strategic farm sim/adventure game mainly because of its energy system, and as a result, the game isn’t as casual as some players would have liked. That said, the game has an interesting storyline going for it, and the gameplay, aside from the energy aspect, isn’t too shabby either. It’s definitely a game that fans of Harvest Moon or other similar games would love to play.
