Ngmoco has released the followup to its popular We Rule game on the Canadian App Store. We Farm is, as you can see below, very similar to We Rule, with the main difference being that the game is set on a farm rather than in a medieval fantasy world. You’ll be able to raise animals, plant vegetables, build up a barnyard, and of course, trade and share with friends to earn experience. We Rule originally launched in Canada back in February (Ngmoco likes to use America’s neighbors to the north as a testing ground before releasing their apps worldwide), and then We Rule was released to everyone in March, so we can probably expect the same time frame for We Farm.

We Rule vs We Farm

Will We Farm be as big a hit as We Rule was? It’s hard to tell; the gameplay is certainly proven already, but one of the draws of We Rule was that it wasn’t just a FarmVille clone, and obviously, this seems to be borrowing at least the setting from Zynga’s popular title. Of course, another reason that We Rule was so popular was because it had the iPhone all to itself, and now FarmVille is up and running.

We’ll see, though. Ngmoco has certainly shown that it’s constantly learning about how to find success on the App Store; I’m sure the company has taken lessons from We Rule and GodFinger, not to mention that their development method allows for plenty of quick updates and changes if things don’t work out right away. It’s been fascinating to watch Ngmoco’s experiment, and We Farm (along with We City, another adaptation planned for release soon) is their next step.

Personally, I am looking forward to We Farm just because I have been sitting in We Rule at level 30 for quite a while so it is a bit boring for me but the only way I can keep up with the updates. And We City will be a change of environment from We Rule.  If you are happy with We Rule gameplay, I don’t see why you would not be happy with We Farm or We City.

We Rule or We Farm?
