Megapolis vs Patron
Megapolis
Megapolis is an extremely fun and very aesthetic city-building game to play! The game contains a huge variety of residential buildings, infrastructures, factories, facilities and decorations, the majority of which are available for purchase for in-game cash. You can easily earn money by taking on contracts at factories and collecting trade taxes from infrastructures. Remember to provide sufficient power and water supply to fulfill your growing city’s needs as well. Expand your city to accommodate more people and buildings or you could head to a new unique location, such as an island or the Rockies to start over and build a new city (your old city will still be there, don’t worry!).Your city awaits, mayor! Play Megapolis now and build a sprawling metropolitan that you can truly be proud of!
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!
