Ark: Survival Evolved vs Profane
Ark: Survival Evolved
Ark: Survival Evolved is a hardcore, prehistoric-themed (this means dinosaurs... lots and lots of them), survival sandbox MMO set in an astoundingly gorgeous persistent world where everybody is fair game. There is insane amount of resources that you can harvest, items you can craft and dinosaurs that you can tame. Not to mention, you can and will probably need to build shelters for yourself and your tamed beasts, and of course, defend it from other players.Being a hardcore survival game, you'll also need to take care to feed both you and your dinosaurs and that death is pretty permanent in this game. Even the tools you craft has durability that will gradually wear down when used. It might be difficult to be a solo player and thus, you are often encouraged to team up whenever you can.
Ark: Survival Evolved is definitely not the sort of game to play if you're easily frustrated. The learning curve - let alone the "survival curve" - can be pretty steep especially when you keep getting killed or harassed by other, better equipped survivors.
Profane
Profane is a hardcore bullet-hell game where you’ll battle challenging bosses in arenas in hopes of finding the source of the corruption that has gripped your tribe and cleansing it to save your people. The game has a pretty high skill ceiling and can be quite unforgiving but this makes every victory you earn so much sweeter!An aptly-titled game for sure, since the game can be relentless and punishing, which may or may not result in blurting out some form of profanity as you play, Profane is a game that is as relentlessly punishing as it is hardcore. Besides the high skill ceiling, the somewhat confusing storyline, and the not-ideal default controls for keyboard and mouse players, the game is exceptionally well-made, has some pretty cool graphics and animations, and features a ton -and I do mean a ton- of unique bosses that will definitely challenge you.
So, if you love playing bullet-hells and would like a challenge, Profane is one game you’ll want to keep your eye on!
