Games Like Castleville

[Lanshire]

Hey Guys.. My Wife and i really enjoy playing the game Castleville on Facebook, But Zynga hasnt fixed crap on that great game in like forever and they keep adding stuff to it and ignoring the problems. The big problem is that you really have to depend on your social friends in order to ask for things ( that's one of the biggest parts that has been broke for ages now). I have searched high and low for a game like Castleville, But nothing seems to be anywhere near close to it. I would really like a game i can purchase that i can play offline as well. So if any of yall have played CV in the past then you will know what kind of game i am looking for. Graphics have to be like that game as well.

Open to suggestions!
p.s not looking for anything like defending castles, or building a army or anythign like that.

Thanks
Randy

It's not broken, basically all facebook games, especially Zynga games, are meant to be like that. It's so you are finding more players for them, potentially earning them more money.

Okay so I was looking at browser game lists and I saw this game and thought of this thread..

Goobles:
Thanks for the reply.. I looked at the screenshots in that game, and while it was nice, it's just not CV matieral. I do believe that it is also restricted to energy limit... definatley dont want that. Also, i know that zynga knows alot of stuff is broke, and they also know that no matter how much we complain, we still tend to play.. But it makes it extremly un-fun to play with so many bugs.. i have like 3 peole out of like 400 on my fb that play...now keep in mind that when everythign was working good almsot all of them were plaing and enjoying it, However since all this crap, some 98% of my fb friends dont play now. I have like 4700 zfriends, but i cant ask them for matierials, because they wont fix it., But yet they are adding new ♥♥♥♥ all the time!

Any suggestions since the OP? Been a couple years, and I like those kind of builder games as well, hate hate hate the FB game format of micropurchases and energy restriction, but most the games I've seen involve strategy and a lot of combat. Nothing wrong with strategy games, but not everyone's cup of tea.

I know this is an old question, but I figured I'd post a reply anyway, in case people come across this page from a search engine.

Two building games that are similar, but not exactly like Castleville...Bistro Boulevard and Dream Builder: Amusement Park, both by now-defunct developer, Fugazo.

In Bistro Boulevard, you're responsible for restoring Restaurant Row to its former glory. To that end, you must open and run American, Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, and French restaurants. You're provided with limited funding and must earn as you play in order to add tables, equipment, and decor, plus hire and train staff. Periodically, you earn a star which allows you to upgrade equipment and decor. Then, you see what ingredients your guests want on that day, choose recipes to match that and your chefs' abilities. Open and seat customers. While it's not as involved as Castleville, the concept and graphics remind me of it.

In Dream Builder: Amusement Park, you're given an empty plot of land and must build an epic amusement park based on quests that are given. You design the layout too, by building roads. And you choose your customers based on their interests. This one is a bit more involved than Bistro Boulevard.

(There's also Boutique Boulevard, but it wasn't really my cup of tea.)
