At a glance 'Seed' may seem like any other settlement-building game but the title actually offers a lot more depth as one of the first massively multiplayer city builders. Developed by Klang, this title lets players construct and run a settlement on a single planet populated with other gamers trying to do the exact same thing. Everyone will then have the chance to collaborate or compete with their surrounding competition in a real-time 24-hour cycle.
As one of the first massively multiplayer city builders, Seed has an opportunity to truly craft a new genre of games and methods in which players interact with one another. Unlike similar games, such as 'SimCity,' 'Seed' presents players with greater freedom and requires they engage with actual people to survive and help their settlements thrive.
