Rune Factory 4 vs Verdant Skies
Rune Factory 4
Rune Factory 4 is the latest installment (which came out 4 years ago) from the main Rune Factory game franchise. In this game, you can play as whoever you like, be it governing as a prince or a princess, a daring adventurer or a simple farmer. Cultivate the land and fill it with a wide variety of crops, go fishing, or fight monsters in the game's many trapped dungeons. Like the previous games, you can recruit local townsfolk and even befriended wild monsters to help you with your farm or even to join your adventuring team so you'll have some extra help when you're fighting hostile monsters. You can even fall in love, get married and have a virtual child of your own! With whole new adventures, storylines and characters, Rune Factory is designed to appeal to beginners and veterans of the game alike.
Verdant Skies
Verdant Skies is an indie farm simulation/RPG combined with a pretty unique art style and visual novel-like dialogue choices. In this game, you play as the latest pioneer who was sent from Earth to a habitable alien planet whose main job is to set up and manage the farms at the colony, but of course, you are often asked to help out other characters with their tasks. You can also interact with the characters to increase your relationship level and eventually unlock new options such as being able to date them and start a family.Verdant Skies also features a straightforward gathering and crafting where every almost every action you take in this game will cost you time and/or energy. There's no need to restore the time you lost, but energy can be easily restored by consuming food. As a game that's very similar to Harvest Moon in essence, the game's farming aspect can be impressively in-depth, allowing you to splice the genes of your crops and your livestock to produce much more superior versions.
Verdant Skies is definitely the sort of game you'd want to check out if you've loved playing games like Harvest Moon, Staxel and even My Time at Portia. The game isn't too expensive either, considering the hours you can get out of it.
