Craftlands Workshoppe vs Turmoil
Craftlands Workshoppe
Craftlands Workshoppe is a tycoon-like game that’s filled with fun adventures. In this game, you’ve inherited the workshoppe of your mentor, Allcrafts – the only master craftsman who managed to master all the craftmanship skills available, and your goal is to revitalize his workshoppe business and maybe make a name for yourself!The gameplay here is pretty much what I’d expect of a “grind simulator”. What this means is that the game, being a tycoon, requires you to gather resources or buy them, turn them into more valuable goods via crafting, and then sell them off at a nice profit margin - though you don’t have much say as to how much you can price your items. Rinse and repeat.
The game lets you choose between 3 starting professions, namely Alchemy, Cook, and Blacksmith, and from there, you can earn enough to purchase licenses to unlock the other professions. The goal here is for you to master them all. There’s actually a fourth profession, which unlocks the Assembly table, but that can only be obtained once you’ve completed a milestone quest.
Crafting is fairly easy for both Alchemy and Cooking since it either involves waiting out the cooking time or making sure to spend enough energy to brew the potion properly. However, for blacksmithing, there’s a little mini-game that you’ll need to play in order to make an item. Basically, there will be a fast-moving indicator on a meter and your goal is to click whenever it enters a green area on the said meter. If you miss, you’ll have to start over, wasting all the effort and energy you might have spent.
In short, Craftlands Workshoppe is a rather grindy tycoon-like adventure game that has a pretty humorous streak. Due to how grindy it can get, the game might just not be everyone’s cup of tea. However, if you’ve always had a liking for crafting-based tycoons and the idea of managing your own shop, and that you don’t mind spending hours just grinding away gathering materials, crafting items or selling goods, then this game should be right up your alley!
Turmoil
Turmoil , developed by Gamious, is a tycoon-like simulation game where you play as one of four oil miners, all of which are hoping to get rich on what is supposedly "black gold". This game offers a charming yet humorous take on the 19th century oil rush in North American in addition to letting players participate in this momentous period of time. Bid against other entrepreneurs for land that potentially contain enough oil for you to strike it rich, dowse for oil deposits and build oil rigs to mine them. There are also two companies you can sell all the oil to, and depending on the prices they offer, it's best to choose the most profitable time to sell.Of course, as you drill for and sell oil, the money you spend in town will help it develop and grow. In return, you can grab a ton of beneficial upgrades for a price, which, in turn, will help you earn even more money. Eventually, you can even buy town stocks and try your luck at becoming the mayor!
In addition to being incredibly addictive to play, Turmoil is a game that perfectly embodies the crazed mentality of the oil rush back then (and perhaps even now). Granted at not all game mechanics are realistic - it is a game after all, but if you love tycoon-like simulation games, you'll definitely enjoy playing this one.
