Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny vs Virtual Villagers: Origins
Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny
Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny , also known as Rune Factory: Oceans, is another somewhat old spin-off from the main Rune Factory game franchise. In this game, you play as the character who happen to have the souls of two lifelong friends, Aden and Sonja, trapped in it. Not to mention, Aden and Sonja were somehow teleported to an unfamiliar island filled with unfamiliar faces. What had happened? Well, to solve this mystery, you'll need to accumulate favor and respect from the locals by helping them with their requests and hopefully, they willm be able to point you in the right direction.Similar to the previous Rune Factory games, Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny also has a fun simulation aspect where you can not only farm and fish but also cook, craft items and compete in festivals. Monsters that you befriended in the wild can work and fight for you as well. Since the island is, obviously, surrounded by an ocean, you can tap into the rich resources in the sea too.
Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny has a pretty interesting twist to the usual storyline used in this game franchise, and of course, the gameplay is as brilliant as ever. If you love Rune Factory, you'll enjoy playing this one.
Virtual Villagers: Origins
Virtual Villagers: Origins is the village simulation game that is developed to answer the question of "what if The Sims is set in tribal times" and it did so perfectly. In this game, you'll need to help the fellow members of your tribe to survive in a mysterious new island by getting them to take up important roles, like farmers, builders and scientists. Grow your tribe and send them to explore the island they have now made their home on. There are also plenty of fun and challenging, random events that will spice up the day-to-day routine, allowing you to make use of your excellent problem-solving skills.In many ways, Virtual Villagers: Origins is very similar to other life simulation games like Virtual Families or, as mentioned, The Sims. For fans of such games, you'll find Virtual Villagers: Origins a suitable alternative.
