SimCity Social vs Tropico Reloaded
SimCity Social
SimCity Social is a pretty entertaining city-building game that you can play on Facebook. Based on the popular SimCity franchise, you'll get to build a bustling virtual city of your own on a beautiful yet remote tropical island. There are many different buildings to construct, each of them will generate a different form of resources which you will need to upgrade your buildings. The game is incredibly social as well, allowing you to not only visit your friends' cities but also to help or destroy their cities... depending on your mood that is. Many have touted the game as a successful predecessor of the current popular SimCity mobile game, SimCity BuildIt.However, SimCity Social has been shut down years ago and if you're interested to find alternative games that are similar to SimCity Social, we've got a list of games for you!
Tropico Reloaded
Tropico Reloaded is a strategic nation-building game that may feel a little like one of those really in-depth city-building simulation games. However, playing the role of the leader of a banana republic rather than simply being the mayor, you have a wider reach and influence over your people - you can choose to rule with an iron grip or with benevolence - and also the ability to amass an army to defend your said republic from external invaders and internal dissidents. Of course, you can also choose to be corrupt and set aside some funds for your swiss bank account.The game's expansion, Tropico: Paradise Island allows you to not only bring natural disasters on your people but also build tourist attractions as you open up your country for others to visit and of course, to bring in tons of cash. This reloaded version even includes Tropico 2, which will see you ruling over a pirate island as the Pirate King.
Tropico lets players enjoy the fun of managing their own country in their own respective ways much like a simulation game would, and yet, there is also a strategic element to it as you'll need to lead your armies or pirate crew to defend your people from time to time. This game may appeal to fans of city-builders or people who have always imagine themselves leading a nation.
