Stonehearth vs The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot
Stonehearth
Stonehearth is the game you'll want to play if you enjoy playing Minecraft because you can build your very own city. Although the game is basically a sandbox game like Minecraft, it has a building aspect that's much more similar to Craft the World... except that in Stonehearth, everything's in glorious 3D. In this game, you play as the leader of a small handful of adorable-looking pioneers who are looking for a new place to settle down. There isn't a lot of digging involved in Stonehearth though you still need to get your pioneers to collect resources from the environment or to plant and harvest their own.Like in Craft the World, you'll need to provide shelter for your people and equip them with the necessary equipment so they can fend off attacks during the night. However, when it comes to crafting, Stonehearth has a much more diverse and in-depth crafting system. The building system in this game is also pretty unique though it can be rather restrictive when compared to Minecraft since the most "building" you'll be doing is mainly houses for your villagers. Of course, let's not forget about the game's much better-looking graphics!
In some way, Stonehearth is more of a survival/town-building game than a pure sandbox game like Minecraft. However, it is perfect for players who enjoy having an entire town of minions to order around, and the satisfaction of leading and developing a tribe. For a price tag of $24.99 (on Steam), Stonehearth can be a bit on the costly side, but if this is the sort of game you're into, the game will always be worth the price. You can show your support to the indie developers behind this game as well... so there's that!
The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot
The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot is a playfully quaint and rather addictive action/strategy game with a very nice and unique gameplay. In this game, you’ll get to invade other people’s castles in a RPG-like gameplay to get the epic loot you've been promised, while you’ll also be defending your own castle from invaders in a “tower defense”-style. Although the game can be rather pay-to-win and extremely grindy for free-to-play players, The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot is a great game that you can play casually just so you can enjoy the thrill of its gameplay and, of course, beating your friends’ castles. So, start building up a castle with defenses that you can be proud of now!The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot was unfortunately shut down back in August 2016, but if you love playing dungeon-building games like this one, you might want to check out our selection of similar games!
