Pokemon Quest vs Shelter
Pokemon Quest
Pokemon Quest lets you venture into the mysterious island of Tumblecube which houses a host of cube-shaped Pokemon. Here, you can set off on exciting expeditions with your team of 3 pokemon in search of treasure while befriending new pokemon and giving your current pokemon the opportunity to train and grow stronger.You can set up a base camp in this game too. At your base camp, you can have fun decorating it - decorations actually grant special bonuses to your expeditions and pokemon - and also whipping up some mouth-watering food at the cooking pot to attract pokemon to visit your camp.
From the blocky graphics to the casual RPG gameplay, Pokemon Quest is fun little Pokemon game that's well-designed for the mobile platform. It's as close as you can get to playing a Pokemon game that's similar to a combination of the handheld version of the game and Animal Crossing.
Shelter
Shelter is truly a one-of-a-kind game where you'll get to play as a mother badger who's taking care of her newly-born cubs. Developed by Might and Delight, the game puts you on an exciting yet heartwarming adventure as you travel about with your cubs in tow in hopes of finding the perfect shelter to raise them. In your journey, you and your family will encounter lots of danger and it is up to you - the mama badger - to protect your cubs from harm, whether it is a raging forest fire or a bird of prey.Besides adventure, the game also comes with a second game mode called Nurture. It's a lot like a Tamagochi game where you'll need to head into the game every day (at least once) to give your cubs the stuff they need to survive and also to forge closer bonds with them.
This is one of the breakout indie games of 2013 but it's not the sort of game that will get old with age, so if you love games where you'll get to play as an animal and you enjoy a good story-adventure, then Shelter is your best bet!
