Hokko Life vs SimCity BuildIt
Hokko Life
Hokko Life is a casual life sim that draws plenty of inspiration from the popular game, Animal Crossing, and is perfect for adults and kids alike to play. After finding yourself trapped in a remote town in the middle of nowhere, you turned it into your personal mission to revitalize the sleepy town back into its livelier version, before many of its residents moved to the city. Set up homes for new characters to move in, develop your own farm, design a host of furniture and items and share them with the community, collect butterflies and fishes, and most important of all, sit back, relax and have fun!There’s a reason why Hokko Life has been hailed as “Animal Crossing but on PC”, The gameplay is very similar to the latter and despite still being early access, the game already looks very promising for AC fans. However, do take note that the game has a really laidback pace, and if you expect to blaze through the content, you might want to look elsewhere.
SimCity BuildIt
SimCity BuildIt is an incredibly immersive city-building simulation game where you, as the mayor of a small town, strive to develop a bustling metropolis of your dreams. By manufacturing and crafting a variety of goods, you can use these items to earn some cash or to upgrade your existing buildings so they can house more people. Help your fellow citizens solve their daily problems by adding or expanding roads, building entertainment outlets, parks or any other useful facilities nearby, and, of course, making sure that their basic needs (electricity, water and waste management) is well-taken care of.The game has so many different buildings that you can construct, some of which will require special materials obtainable by periodic orders at the airport or at the docks. Best yet, you can even get Dr. Vu to launch one of his devastating experiments onto the city you've built, just so you can see the amazing effects and also to earn rewards for repairing the damaged buildings. SimCity BuildIt has also added a more competitive element by hosting frequent tournaments where mayors can complete a set list of quest objectives to earn points and rank higher on the leaderboard or even to eventually move on to a higher league.
When it comes to city-building games, there are many on the mobile platform but SimCity BuildIt manages to set itself apart from all the rest, not by having gorgeous graphics, but because it retains many of the fun and somewhat strategic elements, albeit in a much more mobile friendly and simplified way, that made SimCity (the franchise) so popular among gamers.
