There are strategy games and other lively games waiting for you.
With the release of the newest Pikmin game, you might be looking for other games with similar features to play when you’re done with Pikmin 4. There are a lot of games that are similar in different ways but still offer unique experiences, which is great if you like to try out different kinds of games.
Everyone knows that the main way to play the Pikmin games is to handle the series’ namesake creatures and use them to solve puzzles. This means that puzzle games are a good choice, but if you want a tougher task, there are many other games to try.
Mario + Rabbids: Sparks Of Hope
Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope should catch your eye if you’re looking for a strategy game with a bit more action and the same classic Nintendo style. It’s one of the strangest crosses the world never knew it needed, and it’s great.
You have to use some basic strategy to get through the fights, which makes the game mostly the same level of difficulty as Pikmin 4. This makes the game great for kids, but anyone of any age can have fun with it.
Tinykin
If you like the Pikmin series a lot, you may already like Tinykin. This simple little indie game was almost an instant hit, which makes it a fun and bright game to try out, even though it plays differently than Pikmin.
You won’t have to use your brain to get the Tinykins. Instead, you’ll be jumping from platform to platform. This is a pretty safe game for people of any age, since there aren’t too many ways to be in a lot of danger.
Minecraft Legends
You might like that Pikmin 4 is played in real time, but you might still want more action. That’s where Minecraft Legends comes in. You probably already know about Minecraft, but this game is more of a dungeon crawler with multiple players than an open-world game.
Even though that doesn’t sound much like Pikmin 4, this game is a great choice because it has colorful worlds, action that takes strategy, and is fun to play with a couple of friends. This game has a lot to explore, so it might be worth your time to play it again.
Fire Emblem Engage
If the tactics part of Pikmin 4 is your favorite part, you might want to check out the Fire Emblem series. Fire Emblem Engage has a bit more of an adult dream story than Pikmin 4, so you have to think about every move you make.
This game doesn’t have nearly as many bright creatures as the last one, but it does have a large army with many different types of people.If you can connect with the people in your army, you may think that being in charge of your army is even better.
Worms W.M.D.
If you like Pikmin, you’ll probably like the cartoony action in the Worms series. Worms W.M.D. lets you lead a group of worms into battle against other worms. Even though the game is easy, it’s a lot of fun and requires a lot of planning.
The game looks like a cartoon, and you can use a lot of different tools. This makes it fun for people of all ages. This is a great option for a Pikmin player who wants more action and strategy but still wants to play with friends.
Lemmings
Lemmings is a puzzle-strategy game that has been around for a very long time. Even though they were made in different times, there are a lot of striking connections between this game and the Pikmin series.
You’ll have to work hard to get the Lemmings, the game’s main characters, to the end of each stage in this old puzzle game. It can be much harder than you think, but people who like classic games should give this one a try.
XCOM 2
If you’re like a lot of other people, you might think Pikmin 4 is a little too easy. If that’s the case, you should try the very hard strategy game XCOM 2 for your next fix. It’s another game that is more turn-based than real-time, but even though you have a lot of time to think, this sci-fi epic will be hard to play.
You have to be interested in a darker take on aliens than the Pikmin series, and there is a lot more violence, but this is a great game to try if you want to try something new. If you’ve been looking for a real challenge for a long time, Slope Game is even better.
Masters Of Anima
Masters of Anima is not like most of the other games on this list. Instead, it is an RTS game that fans of Pikmin will love. To fight Zahr, you have to take control of the Shaper magician Otto. You’ll have to learn how to use his magic to take control of smaller allies.
The game should feel similar to Pikmin because the gaming loop is the same, but the story is more fantasy-based. Masters of Anima is a great choice if magic is more important to you than sci-fi, but you love everything Pikmin does.
Kirby And The Forgotten Land
Kirby and the Forgotten Land is a very different game, but if you like Pikmin 4 because of its cute characters, easy-going gameplay, and old-school Nintendo charm, you should give it a shot.
Even though the whole thing is a 3D game, there are some similarities, like the fact that Kirby has to save all those Waddle Dees. You can try out a lot of Kirby’s skills, and you’ll probably have a great time from beginning to end, even though it’s a lot more dynamic than Pikmin 4.
Overlord 2
If you like fantasy and role-playing games, Overlord 2 could be a good alternative to the Pikmin series. Here, there isn’t as much strategy, but you still get a similar game loop because you control the Minions.
This version of the Pikmin recipe is a bit more grown-up and focused on action, but fans of the series will still enjoy it. It’s harder than a typical Pikmin game, but that might be good for you.
