RimWorld vs Survival Island: Evolve
RimWorld
RimWorld is a sci-fi-themed colony simulation game where you need to build a livable and possibly self-sustaining base by making full use of all the skills your survivors have. Your survivors have their own sets of personalities as well and hence, they will react to the events that are happening around them, form relationships with other survivors, and even refuse to do work that they don't want to do. It's also nice to note that the game emphasizes on parts of the body so if your survivor lost a leg in an accident, he or she can still hobble around on the other provided that some form of replacement, like a peg leg, is given.Although most worlds have multiple biomes, the world you play in is randomly generated, so basically, you will never get the same world twice. The most interesting part about this game though is its AI storyteller. It is the "god of luck" who will throw challenges at you, be it disasterous weather or a pirate raid. There are a few types you can choose from as well, ranging from Randy Random who likes to randomly give you events to deal with to Phoebe Chillax who favors more neutral or positive events and takes it easy with the more negative ones.
RimWorld is perhaps the ultimate story-driven sandbox game that not only lets you build your own colonies and manage them; you'll also get to experience a story that is written as you play along. Sounds just like a game you'd like to play? Well, be sure to check this game out!
Survival Island: Evolve
Survival Island: Evolve is a different sort but "work-in-progress" survival game that may not look like much but is pretty well-made. In this game, you'll need to mine for resources; craft a variety of items; hunt various beasts, both large and small, as well as build your very own base. There are plenty of stuff for you to scavenge too by simply exploring every corner of the island you're stranded on. The game also supports co-operative gameplay along with a single player mode.However, the game seems to have a rather odd theme. It's prehistoric in some way since there are dinosaurs and yet the other animals that you can hunt in the game seem to be rather modern-looking (in terms of evolution).
That said, Survival Island: Evolve is a pretty good mobile version of a prehistoric survival game that fills a niche of demands and as such, the game has enjoyed a sizeable number of installs on Google Play. The game is only available on Android.
