Colony sims tend to go through phases of popularity. They properly captured the public withFallout Shelterin 2015. Since then, many have tried to capture the lightning in a bottle of that title with varying success.
Artificer’s Tower, which you can play right now onSteam, looks to capture that lightning and run it through a wizarding world, similar to that ofHogwart’s Legacy. We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the classicFallout Shelter, though. The idea of crafting one huge building, with rooms dedicated to various aspects of the world, is intriguing and endearing.
Hogwart’s Legacy gave players an opportunity to live out their time as a witch or wizard
“You are tasked with building and defending an out-of-this-world tower that would make even Merlin himself proud!” More than just a building sim, this is a management game that tasks you with ensuring the right rooms are connected to boost productivity, all while keeping your residents happy. Heaven forbid that your little witches and wizards don’t like the layout of your new wing, if they’re unhappy, it’ll have to be fixed right away lest you lose money or resources.
