"Lords and Villeins" VS "Clanfolk"

[monkeypunch87]

I wonder how both games compare to each other. They seem kind of similar and I would like to make an informed buying decision.

Thanks

Clanfolck is more like RImworld on earth, scotland, while LaV is more like Prison architect.

The Aim in clansfolk is to survive, strife as whole. Tech, Build, Produce fight etc.

LaV is more like "i am the warden" you give them infrastructure, decorate, plan, allow, but the rest, they do it. They interact, they love, they marry get children, die and go on.

From what I've seen, Clanfolk is basically Rimworld with mods. So its not worth it IMO. However, Lord and Villeins is different because you manage entire "families" as opposed to individual colonists. Each family has their own profession, house, and area assigned to them.

I've played both pretty extensively and they're pretty different but both worth the asking price if you like this type of game and have the cash. If money is tight, you may want to wait a few months for either.

With Lords and Villeins I end up having performance issues toward the endgame such that I can't experience all the content (nobles etc.). With Clanfolk the performance is fine, but there's a lack of end/late game content. Once you survive your first winter in Clanfolk, you are basically set, and there isn't much of a challenge or anything else to do. L&V has a more developed later-game loop. I also didn't think I would like the aesthetic of Clanfolk because the screenshots are kind of ugly, but it ends up fitting the theme.

I have played both and while I enjoy Clanfolk as a new game, Lords and Villeins is much more stimulating and entertaining in my opinion. There is a lot more depth is this game than Clanfolk. As a previous poster pointed out, once you survive the first winter in Clanfolk, there isn't much challenge.
