Egg, Inc. vs Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon
Egg, Inc.
Egg, Inc. is an insanely addictive farm-themed idle game where you’ll need to tap to send your chickens from the hatchery to the coop. There, they will produce eggs over time which you can then use your transport, be it a pickup truck or a simple trike, to sell. As you play, you’ll get to expand your egg farm by, for example, adding more coops, and upgrading your buildings.Like any self-respecting tycoon simulation game, Egg, Inc. also comes with a research system where you can invest the money you’ve made from selling eggs into various upgrades. As the value of your farm increases, you’ll be given the option to sell off your old farm and buy a new one. Although you’ll basically have to start all over, this new farm retains all unlocked epic research as well as other perks.
Despite being an idle game, Egg, Inc. has some elements of active play too. There are drones that you can tap to “shoot” down and steal the package it is carrying, for instance. To further increase your egg farm’s production and efficiency, the game gifts you random boosts from time to time.
Featuring minimalistic aesthetics, Egg, Inc. is one idle game that will keep you glued to the screen for hours on end. The progression in this game doesn’t feel too much like a grind and it’s just plain joy to be able to actually see your egg empire grow!
Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon

Like most farm simulation games, you'll need to plant, grow and harvest a variety of crops; and raise animals but in this game, you can even fish and battle monsters and beasts. However, it might be best to simple befriend these monsters so they'd help you around the farm.Rune Factory also has a robust character progression system where you can improve your skills with the sword, spear or farm tools simply by using them. You can even make friends with some of the NPCs in the game and fall in love.
