Crusaders of the Lost Souls vs Dungeon Siege
Crusaders of the Lost Souls
Crusaders of the Lost Souls is an idle, squad-based RPG where you assemble a band of crusaders, fight monsters and earn gold as well as fame and glory. The game is an idle game so the skill ceiling isn't exactly high, but it does offer players some truly in-depth customization options, allowing them to develop their own battle strategies and the ultimate team composition. Of course, you can also upgrade your heroes and equip them with unique gear, or simply replace the older heroes with better ones as you unlock them along the way.Crusaders of the Lost Souls also has a wicked sense of humor that although won't leave you rolling on the floor in laughter, it will at least make you cough up a chuckle or two at the incredulity of it all. So, if you love idle RPGs with a dab of the funny, Crusaders of the Lost Souls is a great choice. Best yet, the game is available across multiple platforms, so you can play it on your PC and while you're on the go as well!
Dungeon Siege
Dungeon Siege is a classic dungeon crawler that predates the first Torchlight but not the Diablo series. In this game, you play as a humble farmer who sets off across a 3D fantasy world, battling against hordes of enemies as the storyline unfolds. The most interesting part of this game, back in the day, is that it's a dungeon crawling game that is set above ground and surprisingly not in dungeons. In some way, it is more like certain parts of Diablo 2 and also Path of Exile.The game also has an interesting take on loot and inventory management. You'll get a ton of loot as befit a dungeon crawler, but the thing is you have a very limited inventory, even with a pack mule, and no vendors nearby enough to sell your loot to. So, you'll likely end up throwing most stuff on the ground just so you can move on. Dungeon Siege even allows you to assemble up to a party of 8 characters to aid you in your journey.
However, Dungeon Siege is a really old game and as such, the Steam version does have its fair share of glitches. You may experience constant crashes and installation difficulties even if you're running a top-notch desktop set-up. Some players have also mentioned that the ending of the game was cropped off somehow and that this version of the game doesn't include its expansion or a multiplayer option.
All in all, Dungeon Siege is among the top 5 classic dungeon crawlers back in the day and if you are interested to give it a try, you can get the game for as low as $1 during a Steam sale.
