Darksiders vs Greedy Gods: Islands & Treasures
Darksiders
Darksiders is an action-adventure game with a rather dark theme. In this game, you'll assume the role of one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, War. Accused of causing a war between heaven and hell, you have been indicted for your crimes. However, you are given one last chance to return to Earth to search for the true culprits behind the bloodbath and perhaps prove your innocence. Being a Horseman, you have supernatural abilities in addition to an arsenal of weapons that will come in handy when you are hacking and slashing your way across a Hell-controlled Earth. There are tons of ways for you to develop your character as well, giving you the opportunity to customize War to fit your play style.Although the combat is satisfying, the gameplay can be somewhat repetitive after some time since all you need to do is to simply rack up your combos. The creatures and bosses you'll fighting against aren't too difficult either, making things rather boring after awhile. That being said, the game is pretty worth its price only for its epic Diablo-like story alone.
Greedy Gods: Islands & Treasures
Greedy Gods: Islands & Treasures is a PvP-oriented game that's very much like Pirate Kings where the main gameplay is simply pressing a button to spin a wheel. However, unlike the Pirate Kings, this time around, you play as a godly being who is able to use your holy powers to smite your enemies. You can also build up your own beautiful island - an island that's worthy of a deity of your powers - and customize its look with a variety fo fun themes ranging from Greek Gods to Vikings. Furthermore, this game is much more cooperative in the sense that you not only get to attack your friends to plunder their gold; you can, interestingly, choose to defend them as well.With so many islands to own and collect (and naturally, to defend), Greedy Gods: Islands & Treasures is the perfect alternative game for fans of Pirate Kings. In fact, they will definitely find the similarities between these two games familiar and comforting.
