Sunshine Bay vs Tropico Reloaded
Sunshine Bay
Sunshine Bay is a resort simulation that that puts you in charge of a beautiful tropical paradise where the sun is always bright and shining and the skies are always clear. As the manager, it now falls on you to set up houses so you can attract passengers for your yacht cruises, build docks to house your luxurious yachts and piers to send them on their way to various locations around the world. There are many ways for you to earn the money and resources you need for these yacht trips and to expand your resort business though, including servicing other people's yachts and building commercial buildings.Despite its sunny tropical theme, Sunshine Bay is not your usual farm/city-building simulation and this is evident right from the get-go. The game is a resort simulation through and through, and if you think you'd enjoy playing it, be sure to drop by and give it a try.
Tropico Reloaded
Tropico Reloaded is a strategic nation-building game that may feel a little like one of those really in-depth city-building simulation games. However, playing the role of the leader of a banana republic rather than simply being the mayor, you have a wider reach and influence over your people - you can choose to rule with an iron grip or with benevolence - and also the ability to amass an army to defend your said republic from external invaders and internal dissidents. Of course, you can also choose to be corrupt and set aside some funds for your swiss bank account.The game's expansion, Tropico: Paradise Island allows you to not only bring natural disasters on your people but also build tourist attractions as you open up your country for others to visit and of course, to bring in tons of cash. This reloaded version even includes Tropico 2, which will see you ruling over a pirate island as the Pirate King.
Tropico lets players enjoy the fun of managing their own country in their own respective ways much like a simulation game would, and yet, there is also a strategic element to it as you'll need to lead your armies or pirate crew to defend your people from time to time. This game may appeal to fans of city-builders or people who have always imagine themselves leading a nation.
