Landlord vs Patron
Landlord
Landlord sets itself aside from other city building games by providing a set of mayoral skills that you can level as well as interesting pop-up mini-tasks (with its mini-games) that are pretty fun to do. There are a ridiculous number of housing, businesses and public buildings that you can construct in this game and an equally large array of decorations is provided as well! Have fun expanding your city limits in the huge map available and watching your little town grow from being a city into a booming metropolitan! So, despite the unfortunate natural event that has tainted the start of your career as the mayor of this town, you have the chance to fix this - the only question is… are you up to the task?
Patron
Patron is a medieval-themed city-builder that is quite similar to Banished. In this game, you play as a pioneer sent by your King to colonize a new region. With a group of peasants to help, it is up to you to build a town from the ground up and develop it into one of the most prosperous colonies of the empire!The game is all about optimizing production chains and subsequently, pursuing advancements. So, at the beginning, it’s important to produce enough raw materials so you can have enough materials to “fuel” your other production facilities in order to craft more profitable items. As your town expands, you’ll need to make sure your production scales up accordingly, be it by upgrading existing structures or building new ones. This is where the challenge really comes in.
Of course, besides upgrades and expansions, you’ll want to invest in research so you could unlock better and, hence, more productive buildings, as well as new production facilities which will then allow you to produce items that are usually more luxurious and lucrative to trade. From time to time, you will receive various edicts from the King or news of certain events. You’ll then be expected to choose between the two decisions provided.
All in all, Patron is definitely a much better version of Banished in every way, and this saying something since I’ve enjoyed playing Banished. This game’s a solid medieval city-builder with a nice level of difficulty which matches what a midcore gamer like me can handle. The game is definitely worth the cost!
