Dark Souls: Prepare to Die vs Overlord: Fellowship of Evil
Dark Souls: Prepare to Die
Dark Souls: Prepare to Die is one of the scariest and hardcore action role-playing game that's set in a dark fantasy world filled with demons, monsters, and even dragons. Unlike most games where dying is heavily penalized, this game actually lets you use every one of your deaths as a stepping stone to learn the where to avoid and where to press on... so expect to die... a lot. Sometimes, the deaths of the other players - their spirits, so to speak - will also show up in your game so you can learn from their mistakes before you atttempt a challenging part of the game.By playing, you'll be able to improve your mastery over weapons, spells, and other combat mechanics which will in turn help you progress and access tougher challenges. This Prepare to Die edition also features new mechanics, including Bonfires which serve as check points and will replenish your health and magic but at a pretty heavy cost - all the mobs you've killed will respawn. Dark Souls is a networked game and as such, you may bump into other players while dungeon crawling which may result in an impromptu PvP battle, or you can also work together with other players to take down difficult bosses.
Dark Souls have earned a name of itself for being incredibly punishing - there will be a lot of dying - and for being creepy as af, but it is also a game that's pretty unique, and to some extent, revolutionary since many of the game mechanics present in this game isn't even heard of let alone used in any other games.
Overlord: Fellowship of Evil
Overlord: Fellowship of Evil lets you experience a warped and twisted, dark fantasy world in an action RPG that rewards the bad and venerates the evil. Featuring four brand-new Netherghuls, resurrected servants of the dark arts; a horde of maniacal minions as well as the horde's master, Gnarl, you'll have more ways than ever to cause mischievous humor, decimate or subjugate the population or simply perpetuate chaos and mayhem. You can develop your minions so they can withstand any resistance more easily. Best yet, you can even play the game cooperatively with up three friends locally or online.Overlord: Fellowship of Evil is the sort of rare game that simply give you the tools to cause total and utter mayhem and leave you to decide how to go about instilling terror into the AI populace. It's definitely a fun game to play when you need to blow off some steam, but bear in mind that this game is in no way the third installment of the popular Overlord franchise. Think of it as a more casual spin-off.
