Meeple Station vs The Settlers Online
Meeple Station
Meeple Station is a space-themed, sandbox simulation game that focuses a lot on exploration, trading and team management. In this game, you’ll need to build your starter space station and then venture out into the galaxy to find a place to set up shop, so to speak. Mine nearby resources and refine them into valuable bars and other alloys, and trade the resources you have with passing spaceships for resources that you don’t. Don’t forget to assign your meeples with tasks that suit their respective personalities, and give them everything they need to be content despite being cooped up in a tightly-packed space station.The game doesn't have a multiplayer mode (yet), but I can see the potential of having the game mode added in the future where players will be able to trade with each other and even raid other player’s stations to plunder resources. It’ll probably be somewhat similar to Minecraft’s multiplayer mode.
Overall, Meeple Station is definitely an early access game with plenty of potential. Despite the bugs and game issues, it is a rather fun sandbox game to play where you can build your own space station, explore the galaxy, mine and trade for resources, and manage your team of adorable meeples. If you’re interested, Meeple Station is currently available for purchase on Steam. Check it out!
The Settlers Online
The Settlers Online is a unique and timeless MMO strategy game developed and published by Ubisoft. Instead of focusing on player-vs-player combat like most strategy games do, the game places a lot of emphasis on resource and land management, along with crafting and trading. You can build armies, naturally, but you'll use them to fight hordes of bandits rather than other players to acquire great rewards and new land. You can also capture colonies or participate in PvP expeditions too. Join a guild and work with your new friends to rank up your guild on the leaderboard.Although The Settlers Online has been around for more than half a decade, the game is still updated constantly with events and new features, keeping the game engaging for its loyal player base and attractive to the newcomers.
