Empires of the Undergrowth vs WolfQuest
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.
WolfQuest
WolfQuest is a rather unique simulation game where you actually play as a two-year-old gray wolf born in the Northern Range of Yellowstone National Park - an age where it's time for you to go off on your own. You'll need to learn to hunt for food, find a suitable mate, set-up a comfy den and build a family. The game lets you play in single-player mode where you can learn how to be a virtual wolf yourself or multiplayer where you can do everything in a pack with your friends (private server) or with strangers (public server).The game WolfQuest has a sort of charm to it, because firstly, it is so different from any other animal simulation game you might have played before as it feels a lot more realistic; and secondly, you actually feel related; linked to the wolf you play as and want to help him to set-up a home and family of his own. It's not the sort of game to be rushed through - it is the sort of game that you'll need to slowly savor.
So, if that is your thing, then you might like playing WolfQuest. Even if you think it's not, try the free demo anyway. The game might just surprise you!
