[겜ㅊㅊ] 5 best tycoon games for both farming and management
2023.02.20 18:01 Game Mecca Reporter Shin Jae-yeon

※ [겜ㅊㅊ]is a corner that recommends games that gamers can enjoy according to a special theme every week.

Last time, Game Mecca introduced ‘Quesinier’, a restaurant management story of a fluffy adventurer, and received a lot of positive responses. It received attention for its cute and warm worldview and characters, but the unusual harmony between genres, such as obtaining ingredients through battle and managing a restaurant with these ingredients, attracted attention.

So this week [겜ㅊㅊ]I would like to introduce a collection of night-time reading-style games that combine farming and management, which those who are interested in the genre of queenie should try. Well, farming means farming, and management requires reading account books, so it wouldn’t be wrong to say that you read the night sky!

1. The Little Witch in the Woods

First of all, the first game I’d like to introduce is Little Witch in the Woods. There’s almost no real combat element to it, but it’s true that there’s no other game that’s as good for getting into the genre as this one. Players have to go around the field and gather various materials. At this time, certain materials are essential to collect, so it takes time to learn the game system and material strategy by bumping into each other.

So, this game is recommended for true genre newbies who need to learn a system that combines resource management through gathering and crafting in the first place. As it is currently in Early Access, there are many elements to be strengthened, but we are looking forward to future growth as we have recently added save slots and stamina, as well as customizing living spaces and adding biovegetation expansion features.

2. Potion Permit

Potion Permit, which has been praised as the alchemy version of Stardew Valley, is also one of the games where you run and find ingredients for store management. If the little witch in the forest earlier focused on gathering rather than fighting, the battle for gathering begins in earnest from the potion permit. Players will meticulously roam the forest to procure materials from various animals and plants. General materials can be obtained simply by gathering, but some materials can only be acquired by fighting monsters and wild animals.

The materials collected in this way are used to treat the sick villagers. As the treatment continues, the villagers who had been rejected as outsiders gradually open up their hearts, and the area to be explored expands, so the results of their efforts are particularly impressive. Similar to the previous Little Witch in the Forest, the progress is rather slow and the score is divided according to the difficulty level, but it can be said that it is a better game to enjoy than anyone else who wants to play a game of this genre without burden.

3. Dave the Diver

If the previous two games showed fairly relaxed difficulty and balance, from Dave the Diver, it can be said that it is a game that requires full-scale parallelism. It is a game that is still receiving overwhelmingly positive reviews because it is full of familiar yet fun content, such as unique characters, various marine creatures made up of dots, and a growth factor that allows you to catch bigger sea creatures by strengthening your equipment.

The characteristic of Dave the Diver is that collection and management are firmly separated in time. As we struggle to efficiently secure the maximum amount of materials within a limited time, the will to grow naturally arises, and Koreans, as gamers inherent in the depths of our hearts, are unwillingly drawn out. If you don’t get this balance right, you may be blinded to the highest efficiency without knowing yourself, so it seems that you need to put your nature down well.

4. My Time at Sandrock

My Time at Sandrock is the follow-up to My Time at Portia, which has gained recognition for its management games of a similar genre. It’s a game that depicts daily life after a disaster, 300 years after most of modern technology was destroyed by the disaster day. Players become the new craft owner of the rough and rugged city of Sandrock, where they must roam to gather resources, hunt monsters, defend the sandrock, and make friends with its residents and settle down.

While the combat and action in the previous games are somewhat casual, the action in My Time at Sandrock is quite serious. The hitting feeling is not bad, and the combo system is also implemented. The downside is that the Korean translation is not so good that most users say that it is better to enjoy it in English instead of Korean, but it is said that it is guaranteed to have fun enough to make you want to play the game even with a translator, so it is not bad to try it. It doesn’t seem like it.

5. Lucetia: The Story of the Item Shop

The last game I want to introduce to you is Lucetia: The Story of the Item Shop, which is recommended for those who want a really ‘spicy’ action management simulator. As it was made in 2009, it has graphics that people who like JRPGs in the 2000s will feel familiar with. In this game, the player becomes Lucette, the main character who opens an item shop to catch up with her father, who ran away leaving debts behind, and proceeds with the business to see a ‘surplus’ as much as possible. It’s an unusual game from the beginning story.

If the previous games went through the route of regular price sale or exchange after collection and production, Lucetia is an extreme capitalist game where you only have to earn as much money as possible. Therefore, even if you do not enter the dungeon for gathering and production, you can enjoy it by adopting the extreme management method of overcharging and hoarding. By the way, don’t forget to invest in the store to earn more money. The better you decorate, the more hog… No, customers are coming. If you want to know how the famous line “Capitalism, HO!” was born, or if you are seeking extreme capital security, it would not be bad to give it a try.
