Factorio vs Pockie Defense
Factorio
Factorio is a simulation game where you build, expand and maintain a series of factories. The game will require you to take control of the entire production line from obtaining resources you need right up to packaging the final product while constantly upgrading and modifying every aspect of your factories to improve their productivity. As your enterprise grows, you'll eventually unlock a plethora of technologically advanced machineries, tools and hires that are basically a lot better than what you currently have.That's not all, apparently the world you'll be setting up your factories in isn't very "factory-friendly". Expect to have to deal with frequent attacks by the local inhabitants. You might want to set up turrets, walls, and other defensive structures to protect your machines from damage that will, god forbid, disrupt your production line.
Interestingly, the game has a cooperative multiplayer game mode where you can work with your friends to create a massive factories-filled world. The game may sound like an endless freeplay sort, but there are some fun challenges for you to complete as well as a Map Editor for you to create new maps to play in.
Factorio is the sort of game that will appeal to players who like managing stuff, namely fans of tycoon-like games. It also has a nice little tower defense-like element to it that spice things up a bit, along with other events that will put your problem-solving skills to the test.
Pockie Defense
Pockie Defense is yet another unique tower defense game that is has a rather different fairytale theme. In this game, you are given the heavy duty of defending Fairy Tale lands from the evil Witch and her minions but don't worry - you will not do the whole "You shall not pass" sequence alone! Instead, you get to recruit a wide variety of fairy tale heroes and heroines to aid you. These characters are literally your "towers" in this game and they can be upgraded permanently by consuming other lesser heroes. Most interestingly, you can even challenge other players to a fun PvP fight where only a selection of your heroes will go up against an equal number of opponents sent from the other side.That said, being a free-to-play game does make Pockie Defense a bit skewed towards the pay-to-win side, but if you ask us, the game is still amazingly fun to play and is worth the time you spend on it especially if you enjoy tower defense games.
