Rune Factory 2 vs Virtual Villagers: Origins
Rune Factory 2
Rune Factory 2 is more like a combination of a farm simulation/RPG and The Sims mainly because you can actually have children in the game and you can then switch character and play as your child instead. This sort of multigenerational storyline is unheard of in the gaming world! The game also provides players with a whole new story set in Alvarna that has been hit by multiple earthquakes with unknown origins in recent days. Not to mention, the tension between the evil Sechs Empire and the Kingdom of Norad have gradually been escalating and the peace that was so difficult to obtain may be shattered in a matter of days.With so many problems to content with, a farm to grow and adventures to embark on, Rune Factory is a game that offers plenty of stuff for you to do as well as multiple paths and endings which grant the game impressive replayability.
Virtual Villagers: Origins
Virtual Villagers: Origins is the village simulation game that is developed to answer the question of "what if The Sims is set in tribal times" and it did so perfectly. In this game, you'll need to help the fellow members of your tribe to survive in a mysterious new island by getting them to take up important roles, like farmers, builders and scientists. Grow your tribe and send them to explore the island they have now made their home on. There are also plenty of fun and challenging, random events that will spice up the day-to-day routine, allowing you to make use of your excellent problem-solving skills.In many ways, Virtual Villagers: Origins is very similar to other life simulation games like Virtual Families or, as mentioned, The Sims. For fans of such games, you'll find Virtual Villagers: Origins a suitable alternative.
