5. RISE OF CULTURES
Yes, you’re right: this is the third game developed by Innogames that we’ve included in this list, but don’t worry, we’ll focus on other developers soon (we promise), and this game definitely deserves its spot on this list. So what is it that makes Rise of Cultures so special?
Well, like Elvenar and Forge of Empires before it, Rise of Cultures is a game about building a civilization which grows and expands throughout different eras of history (Innogames are good at stuff like that), but in this one, there’s a more human-centered approach. Not only can you choose different types of cultures to cultivate in your civilization, but you can take direct control of individual workers, giving them the most productive work schedules you can (including time for rest), and deploying them to enhance your city as you see please.
6. SUNRISE VILLAGE
Remember when we said we were going to focus on games from other developers? Well guess what? We lied. Actually, the truth is, we added those first three Innogames releases before we discovered Sunrise Village, and now we feel that it deserves a spot on this list. It’s certainly very different to the strategy games we’ve mentioned so far.
In Sunrise Village, you play as somebody who’s leaving the stressful city life behind in order to go and lead a simpler existence on a farm in Sunrise Village. You gather crops and resources so that you can fulfil orders and then purchase new buildings and items in order to expand your farm. It’s a really relaxing game, and one which could easily become a part of your day-to-day routine.
