Age of War 2 vs Empires of the Undergrowth
Age of War 2
Age of War 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to the popular browser and now mobile game, Age of War. With even more themes this time around, Age of War 2 offers a similar yet equally exciting gameplay but you can now pit the ancient Egyptians against an advanced alien civilization that looks like it came from the Aliens and Predator movies. The graphics has also seen a nice overhaul, though the game retained its cartoonish looks. Of course, let's not forget about the game's more fleshed out upgrades and research system as well.Age of War 2 is definitely a fun and rather unique game that sticks true to its origins. If you enjoy casual strategy (with some elements of tower defense) games, you should definitely check this game out. Don't forget to try the original Age of War too!
Empires of the Undergrowth
Empires of the Undergrowth is an absolutely-unique ant colony management game that, despite being still in early access, has caused waves of interest and hype, especially within the indie community. The game features plenty of exciting and challenging game modes to put your management system to the test as you try your best to help your ant colony survive threats after threats. The game also provides players with a nifty little pheromones-based system to organize their ants into groups, challenges to earn crucial resources from, a progression system, as well as an upgrade system whereby you can invest Royal Jellies to upgrade an ant type, unlock a new ant skill, or unlock access to a completely new ant type.The game is surprisingly educational too. It teaches about different ant species and how they usually survive in the wild be it from the lack of food, their natural environment, or from certain predators. This might be particularly interesting for someone who has always been fascinated by ants and their colonies. After all, in some way, you'll be getting a digital version of an ant farm or a formicarium of your own!
Empires of the Undergrowth may be an indie game, but it's definitely one of the most innovative and interesting ones out there. If you are keeping your eyes on indie games that you might want to buy, this is one game you mustn't keep your eyes off of.
