Kingdom Classic vs Rise to Ruins
Kingdom Classic
Kingdom Classic is a pretty challenging and yet entertaining, 2D game that also happens to be one of the more innovative tower defense games in recent years. Developed and published by indie companies, this game puts you in the role of a crown-totting king or queen who is setting out to find a suitable spot to settle down and build his or her own kingdom from the ground up.There aren't a lot of kingdom building in this game though. Aside from upgrading your main "base" which starts off being a simple campfire, you will only build and upgrade certain structures like farms, walls, and towers. The game also uses a really simple coins-based system where you rely on the coins you earn to do practically everything, from converting wild men in camps into your kingdom's loyal subjects to powering up special stats-boosting shrines, to unlocking new stone upgrades, and even to upgrading your very walls.
Your kingdom will be under constant attack by creatures from otherworldly dimensions every night, and hopefully by then, you would have some defenses up and ready. These creatures will become increasingly harder to kill, more in variety, and more in numbers, so you will need to ensure that your kingdom's defenses are sufficient to meet the threat.
Due to its difficulty, you might want to check out some of the guides out there after trying a round or two on your own, just so you won't pass up on this amazing game. Even with the guides though, you will still need to put in a good deal of effort and strategic thinking just to make it to Day 50 let alone Day 100. So, if you're a fan of tower defense-like games, don't mind pixel art, and enjoy a good challenge, Kingdom Classic is an indie game you will want to buy.
Rise to Ruins
Rise to Ruins is a godlike empire-building strategy game that incorporates some elements of tower defense (during night time). Inspired by games like Towns, Gnomoria, Banished and Dwarf Fortress, you will need to build a thriving empire, recruit new nomads to join you, manage your empire's resources, and ensure that your people are content in this game. During the night, however, enemies will start hammering at your gates, and as such, set up proper tower-defense-like defenses to funnel your enemies into easily manageable "slaughter zones" as well as appoint guards to patrol your empire's parameters.There are also tons of fun little features that made this game so engaging to play, including your special godlike powers which you can use to help your little people survive or to cause them a huge amount of distress, and how the creatures and people in the game react to the presence of godly powers. You can even completely change the landscape of a map if you wish. The game has a ton of maps and game modes, even in its early access form, for you to play around with as well!
Rise to Ruins is still a work in progress but the game seems almost completely done and ready for launch. So, although it's still technically in early access, you can rest assured that the game is in its playable stage of development - you can immediately dive right in after purchasing the game!
P/S: There's also a trick that you can use to stop enemies from proliferating at all on the map you play on if you fancy a peaceful sort of game.
