Colony Survival vs Cube World
Colony Survival
Colony Survival is a voxel-based town-building simulation game that emphasizes on ensuring the survival (and expansion) of your colony of people, be it by making sure they have enough food to not starve to death or by stationing enough archers around the parameter of your castle walls to repel zombies. Like Minecraft or any sandbox games, you are free to build any base you like (underground, in the sky, or a proper medieval castle with a moat and a drawbridge) as long as you've got the materials (a.k.a. blocks) to go with it and there are various crafting stations which you can build and then assign a worker to just so you can create better and more advanced items.Aside from its infinite, procedurally-generated world, the game also uses an advanced 3D dynamic pathfinding system, allowing you to funnel your people along a specific path simply by having the necessary designs. The same goes for the zombies which usually come out at night to besiege your castle and your sleeping populace. As long as the zombies can't get in and slaughter your people, you can keep expanding your population and your kingdom to whatever size you like!
Colony Survival can even be customized to whatever difficulty you like, depending on how well you think you can best the zombies. So, if you enjoy Minecraft-like games but you also happen to enjoy a "build your own maze", tower defense-like gameplay, then Colony Survival game is definitely for you!
Cube World
Cube World is a voxel-based sandbox MMORPG that follows the same realm of thinking as Trove did. The game features an open world filled with plenty of new locations and hidden areas for you to discover wiht strategically-placed portals to hlep you get to different lands at a much more rapid pace. There are even dungeons you can conquer and dungeon bosses that you can defeat to get that sweet, sweet loot. For gear upgrades, you'll need platinum coins which can be earned by doing daily missions. As you venture across the world, you'll also get to use and hone your adventure skills, including but not limited to climbing, sailing, hand-gliding and more.Cube World has so much potential to be Trove's main rival but unfortunately, the game has apparently faded out once again to obscurity due to lack of updates. However, if you are interested to give the game a try, you can still play the game with the small group of loyal fans who are still sticking around in the game.
