Dark Gnome vs The Greedy Cave
Dark Gnome
Dark Gnome is a fun, pixel-style 2D fantasy RPG that's fresh from the oven from Upjers. Currently available for players who know how to read German, the game will have you set up your ultimate team of warriors and send them to battle various creatures in the game's many dungeon-like locations for amazing loot. You can recruit new heroes from the tavern and equip them with the best gear you have. You can even help injured warriors recover by sending them over to the only medical tent in town.The old-school-styled combat system in this game, on the other hand, is mainly turn-based and allows you to choose which action to take, be it to attack or to stand your ground.
Dark Gnome is a game that gives off a strong 2D dungeon crawler vibe which, I believe many players would probably enjoy. The game is currently in its Open Beta phase and once it is officially released, hopefully, Upjers will provide an English version for their global players.
The Greedy Cave
The Greedy Cave , known also as Rogue’s Light, is a dark yet fun, roguelike dungeon crawler that managed to nail both the gloomy mood as well as the aesthetics which are among the main factors that had made Don’t Starve such a popular hit. The game puts you in the shoes of an aspiring treasure hunter who would brave any danger within the dungeon in hopes of getting the coveted legendary treasure.This game has seriously impressed us mainly because it has successfully merged the gloomy charm of Don’t Starve with a challenging yet somewhat idle-like dungeon crawler gameplay. Aside from having a robust progression system for both the character and the equipment he uses, the game rewards caution and yet encourages exploration as well. The developers also did a great job of balancing its freemium policy so that free-to-play players can actually do pretty well in the game without feeling like they are forced to pay in order to fully enjoy the game.
So, to sum up, The Greedy Cave is possibly one of the most innovative, though grindy… like most games in the same genre are and somewhat underrated, dungeon crawlers. It is a must-play in our books, especially if you happen to be a huge fan of dungeon crawlers.
