Stardew Valley vs Tasty Town
Stardew Valley
Stardew Valley is an indie farm simulation/RPG that had surprisingly become popular mainly because of the beautiful pixel art, its heartwarming storyline and of its fun yet relaxing gameplay. In this game, you've inherited your grandfather's old farm in Stardew Valley, a place that was previously vibrant with life is gradually being worn-down since Joja corporation brought its Joja Mart chain to town. However, you saw the potential that this Valley has and are determined to restore it to what it could be - greatness... or you could just sell out and supply the Joja corporation with your produce... it's completely your call!Like most farm simulation games, you'll need to plant, grow and harvest a wide variety of crops as well as raise a plethora of farm animals. There are plenty of useful machines that you can restore and use to hasten your day-to-day, farm life routine. Interestingly though, being an RPG, you'll also get to mine for minerals, fight enemies, fish for... well, fishes and go foraging in the wild. These skills can be leveled up with use and as you progress, you can even unlock new recipes, places to explore and even pick up a profession or two. The best part though is that the game has some of the most interesting characters in a farm sim, some of whom you can eventually date and marry. You can also decorate your virtual home and customize the appearance of your avatar.
Stardew Valley reminds many of the game, Harvest Moon, and they aren't wrong. The game seems to build on the best parts of the latter and add in acouple of its own unique twists too. This is the sort of game that gamers, regardless of which type you are, will be able to enjoy.
Tasty Town
Tasty Town is a restaurant management-themed simulation game that builds upon the gameplay that World Chef provides while adding a couple of interesting new features of its own. For starters, the gameplay is greatly enhanced with the addition of a farm where you can plant, grow and gather your own crops, and raise various farm animals. Tasty Town has also greatly expanded the social features that were previously available in World Chef. In addition to the usual friend system, you can now create or join a Chefs Club and work with your club friends to achieve specific goals.However, the best part about this game, aside from its pretty standard gameplay of cooking food, serving them to your customers and turning a profit, is its fun time-management mini-game in which you operate your own food truck called Tasty Dash. Oh, and don’t forget that there are even story quests which introduce you to each of the game’s main characters while providing them with some depth and personality, a wide range of buildings you can eventually unlock and use, as well as plenty of themed decorations for you to decorate your place with.
Despite the “recycled” visual assets, Tasty Town is definitely a step-up from its predecessor, World Chef although the game’s technically not a sequel. There are so much more for you to do now aside from cooking food and serving them, and all of the “extra features” do help a lot to supplement the generic restaurant-management gameplay.
