Darkest Dungeon vs Robothorium
Darkest Dungeon
Darkest Dungeon is a hardcore turn-based dungeon crawler with a rather unique gothic theme that explores the psychological stresses of adventuring as well as a beautiful, comic-like art style. Play through the more realistic (not glorified) life of an adventurer as you will not only fight challenging and devious enemies, but also face a host of problems that most adventure RPGs simply turn a blind eye to such as the stress and other mental of the day-to-day of an adventurer, famine, disease and of course, the dark feeling that arose when whatever you do doesn't really seem to matter.The game is pretty much story-driven (as you might ahve expected), but it does also feature a rather innovative turn-based combat as well as over 16 different hero classes for you to play as and recruit to your party. As mentioned, the game's a hardcore game as well - this means permadeath, procedural dungeons and practically endless replay value!
If you think you'd enjoy a more narrative-driven dungeon crawler that's very different from all the other similar games you might have played, Darkest Dungeon is definitely a game you'll want to get.
Robothorium
Robothorium is a fairly old-school style, turn-based dungeon crawler/RPG that’s set in a far futuristic world where an impending “world war” is about to break out among the machines and humans. The game features team management, where you'll get to level up, upgrade and equip every robot in your team just so you can take on tougher enemies later down the road, and plenty of fun loot management, just like what you'd find in any good dungeon crawler.Combat-wise, the game has a pretty typical turn-based gameplay where special skills are regulated and offset by basic attack skills via the Overload system in order to prevent players from spamming them. Robothorium also provides a PvP arena for those who are more competitive and want to pit their team against other teams in their attempt to climb the ranks of the leaderboard.
Overall, I'd say Robothorium is a pretty decent turn-based, dungeon crawler-style RPG that's not only fun to play; it is also the sort of game that will make you really think about your actions since there are both immediate consequences, in the form of reputation gain or loss, as well as other consequences that will emerge later down the line.
