Darwin Project vs Gift of Parthax
Darwin Project
Darwin Project is an early access, third-person battle royale game that combines the game show-theme from The Culling with the unique art style which made Fortnite Battle Royale so easily recognizable. Unlike most battle royale games where you'll have to compete against 99 other players to survive, this game only has 10 players, including yourself. However, the game spices things up with a ton of challenges, much like those featured in the Hunger Games, that are designed to push you to your limits.Not to mention, the game adds a nice tracking mechanism. Players in the game show will leave clues when they pass by an area and you can use those very clues to determine where your prey is heading to or hiding in. There are plenty of fun power-ups that you can collect, including temporary invisibility. Although you can't craft new weapons, the bow and shovel that you get can be upgraded to increase their deadliness.
Best yet, you can also play as the Director of the entire game show. As the Director, your goal is not to survive but to hype things up enough for the crowd to go wild. You are managing an exciting game show, after all. With feedback from the audience, you can decide which zones to drop a nuke on or which zone to freeze over, or even when to drop a "care package" for the participants to fight over.
Darwin Project manages to breathe new life into the slowly-stagnating battle royale genre. It is definitely a fun, thrilling and unique competitive MMO - one that fans of battle royale would just love to play.
Gift of Parthax
Gift of Parthax is a 2D action arcade-arena game that's set in a world where there's a conflict between magic and non-magical users in the kingdom of Duredyll, resulting in a massive civil war. Two best friends, Arif and Veleus, were caught right in the middle and in their haste to escape, they, unfortunately, got themselves captured by agents of Duredyll and thrown in prison. Veleus was eventually released only to be sent straight to the grand arena to fight (and die) for the amusement of the spectators. He fought valiantly but was eventually fell by a powerful spell, and ended up in a coma, barely hanging onto life.In hopes of saving his friend, Arif broke out of prison and headed to the arena where Veleus has fallen, intending to fight his way through the top and challenge the reigning champion, Parthax. Parthax has a very special gift that can save Veleus' life but Arif will have to wrestle it from his dead body!
Aside from the fantastic storyline, this game features a fun yet intense gameplay where you'll need to constantly be on the move and avoid projectiles and danger areas on the ground. It also has an amazingly in-depth spell customization system, allowing you to create the spell that suits your play style through the use of Runes.
Gift of Parthax is, without a doubt, an amazing game that will definitely appeal to fans of shoot 'em ups/ arcade-style fighting games!
