Darwin Project vs Gigantic
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.
Gigantic
Gigantic is a brand-new and unique MOBA-like game that revolutionizes the genre by infusing elements from an RPG, namely a boss fight, with an objective-based gameplay. Unlike other MOBAs, Gigantic will have players fight for the control of their team’s respective power points to gather up enough power to activate their team’s Guardians – the gryphon Leiran for House Aurion and the serpentine Grenn for House Davaedra. With the Guardians’ help, players from both teams will then battle it out in an attempt to wipe out each other’s Guardians and win the match.In addition to its special art style, there are tons of other details in the gameplay that make it very entertaining and competitive to play. The game is also played in the third-person, which offers players more ways to flank and outflank the enemy. Of course, there is a wide range of heroes in this game as well, each has their own set of skills and playstyle that allow players to gain a drastically different gaming experience every time they try new characters. Best yet, everything in the game, including skins, can be purchased using game cash too!
Gigantic had almost become a game that never was, but by some miracle, it finally made it to its release. We couldn’t imagine not being able to experience the game’s fresh and exciting gameplay, and we’re sure many players - fans of the MOBA genre, especially – will feel the same way too.
