SimCity BuildIt vs Tiny Tower
SimCity BuildIt
SimCity BuildIt is an incredibly immersive city-building simulation game where you, as the mayor of a small town, strive to develop a bustling metropolis of your dreams. By manufacturing and crafting a variety of goods, you can use these items to earn some cash or to upgrade your existing buildings so they can house more people. Help your fellow citizens solve their daily problems by adding or expanding roads, building entertainment outlets, parks or any other useful facilities nearby, and, of course, making sure that their basic needs (electricity, water and waste management) is well-taken care of.The game has so many different buildings that you can construct, some of which will require special materials obtainable by periodic orders at the airport or at the docks. Best yet, you can even get Dr. Vu to launch one of his devastating experiments onto the city you've built, just so you can see the amazing effects and also to earn rewards for repairing the damaged buildings. SimCity BuildIt has also added a more competitive element by hosting frequent tournaments where mayors can complete a set list of quest objectives to earn points and rank higher on the leaderboard or even to eventually move on to a higher league.
When it comes to city-building games, there are many on the mobile platform but SimCity BuildIt manages to set itself apart from all the rest, not by having gorgeous graphics, but because it retains many of the fun and somewhat strategic elements, albeit in a much more mobile friendly and simplified way, that made SimCity (the franchise) so popular among gamers.
Tiny Tower
Tiny Tower is a community-building game where you get to literally set up a community of cute little bitizens in a tiny tower that can be constantly expanded by adding new floors and decorating them. There are many different types of floors you can add, some of which will help improve the living conditions for your current residing bitizens while others many attract new bitizens to move to your tower.You can also cater to the needs of your inhabitants by peeking into their minds and see what they are thinking through the game's amusing virtual social network, BitBook. To make things more interesting, there will be special VIP visitors from time to time along with special missions to complete. You can even trade bitizens with your friends now.
In some way, the game does feel a lot like a city-building game despite the fact that you'll be simply building a pretty much self-sustaining tower, but it interestingly plays out like Fallout Shelter though, by being a tower, you'll be building upwards rather than downwards. If you love this sort of simulation, be sure to download the game on your mobile devices - it's free - and try it out!
