Crown Trick vs Gauntlet
Crown Trick
Crown Trick is a roguelike adventure RPG that’s set in the Realm of Nightmares. In this game, nightmares from this realm have spewed forth, bringing pain and suffering upon the inhabitants of the mortal realm. As the last remaining dreamwalker, albeit a novice, you, playing as a young girl called Elle, are the only one left to save the world from the never-ending nightmares, and with the help of the arrogant yet omniscient Crown, you might be able to do just that!In a roguelike context, Crown Trick is perhaps the very first to use what is a rare gameplay mechanism to further enhance its turn-based gameplay, and not every move or action will consume a turn either. There are some abilities, blinking for instance, which will allow you to move and perform an action in a single turn, but of course, you will have a limited number of blinks, and restoring them takes some strategizing, especially during boss fights, as well.
As a dungeon crawler of sorts, Crown Trick offers players a nice variety of loot, ranging from the usual weapons and consumable items, to the much more valuable relics that grant permanent passive abilities for the entire dungeon run. As mentioned before, weapons in this game have different attack ranges and grids, and this is important when considering which weapons to equip since you can only have one at any time, and which Familiar abilities (which we’ll cover in a bit), items and relics to complement the weapon you’ve chosen.
Crown Trick is truly one of the best indie roguelikes that I’ve had the pleasure of playing and reviewing. It’s not as hard as Children of Morta mainly because of its turn-based-like format but its quality is on par with the former game and that’s the highest praise I could give. So, to sum up, if you love turn-based games and roguelikes, Crown Trick is one game you mustn’t miss out on!
Gauntlet
Gauntlet is a 4-player cooperative (both online and on splitscreen mode) dungeon crawler that guarantees hours of dungeon crawling action for you and your friends. Since each level is randomly generated, you'll never encounter the same level twice! Not to mention, Gauntlet has a gameplay that feels a lot like Diablo 3, where you can battle hordes of enemies for shiny loot, rare Relics, which you can then use to unlock new abilities, and of course, glory. You can even play as one of four archetype characters namely Warrior, Elf, Wizard and the most unique character, Valkyrie.Overall, Gauntlet is a dungeon crawler that is incredibly fun to play with friends despite its apparent lack of a storyline. Every element of the game just seemed to come together so well after all. So, if you're a fan os dungeon crawlers and have some friends with the same interests, well, this game may just be the game you all need.
