"Factorio" can also be considered in a way. Although it's more about industrial building and automation, it has the concept of building a large complex from scratch, which is somewhat similar to constructing your castle in Castle Story. You start with basic resources and gradually build up an elaborate system in Factorio, much like building up your castle and its associated infrastructure in Castle Story.
One such game is "Kingdoms and Castles". It focuses on building and defending a castle and a kingdom, similar to Castle Story. You have to plan your building layout carefully and protect your territory from invaders.
There's "Stonehearth" as well. It has a comparable gameplay style to Castle Story. In Stonehearth, you control a group of settlers, build their homes, and manage resources, which is quite like the core aspects of Castle Story where you construct and expand your castle while handling different resources.
There's also RimWorld. It is a complex game where you manage a colony on an alien planet. You have to build structures, deal with various events, and take care of your colonists, which has some similarities to Castle Story in terms of the overall management aspect. Additionally, Dwarf Fortress, though it has a rather complex interface, is about building and maintaining a dwarven fortress, with many aspects like resource gathering and creature management that are comparable to Castle Story.
Anno 1800 is a good choice. It allows you to build and develop your own island - based empire. You have to manage resources, build infrastructure, and trade with other islands, much like in a kingdom - building game. Planet Coaster is also relevant. While it's mainly about building amusement parks, it has similar concepts of construction, management, and attracting 'visitors' (in this case, park - goers), which can be related to attracting settlers in a kingdom - building game. Then there's RimWorld. It's more about colonizing a planet, but you build up your base, manage your colonists, and face various challenges, just like in a kingdom - building scenario.
One game like Castle Story is Stonehearth. It has similar aspects where you build and manage a settlement. You have to take care of your villagers, build structures, and gather resources. Another one could be Gnomoria. In this game, you control gnomes and create an underground kingdom. You also deal with resource management and building various facilities. And then there's RimWorld, which involves colonist management, building bases, and surviving in a harsh environment.
For strategy lovers, RimWorld is a great choice. It offers deep strategic gameplay in terms of colonist management, combat, and base building. You need to plan carefully to ensure the survival and growth of your colony. Another is Anno series. These games focus on building and managing a large - scale civilization, with elements of economy, trade, and military strategy. Stonehearth is also good as it requires strategic thinking in building your settlement and protecting it from threats.
Bakery Story. It's all about baking and running a bakery. You can create different kinds of pastries and cakes, decorate your bakery, and serve customers. Another is Pet Shop Story. Here, you manage a pet shop, take care of the pets, and sell them to customers. Just like in Restaurant Story, there's a focus on management and customer satisfaction.
One is 'Episode'. It offers interactive stories where you can make choices for your character, just like in Hollywood Story. There are different storylines related to romance, adventure, and more in the entertainment world.
Well, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen is like The Last Story in certain ways. It has an open - world environment where you can explore and encounter various creatures. The combat in Dragon's Dogma is also quite engaging. Then there's Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. It has a beautiful art style and a story - driven gameplay, much like The Last Story. And of course, Star Ocean: The Last Hope. It offers a space - themed adventure with a deep story and interesting characters.
One game similar to Her Story is Telling Lies. It also features a non - linear storytelling approach where you search through video clips to uncover the truth. Another is Orwell. In this game, you play as an investigator, sifting through data much like in Her Story. And then there's Gone Home, which has a similar focus on exploring a story through environmental storytelling and discovery within a digital space.
Yes, there is. One example is The Blockheads. It allows you to build and explore in a block - based world. You can mine resources, build structures, and interact with other characters, much like Castle Story. Another one is Pocket City. You get to build your own city, manage its development, and face various challenges, which has some parallels to Castle Story in terms of the building and management aspects.
