Don't Die, Minerva! vs Operation X
Don't Die, Minerva!
Don't Die, Minerva! is a Halloween-themed, arcade shooter-like, rogue-lite where you play as 11-year-old Minerva who was trapped in a haunted mansion and is desperate to find a way out. Kite enemies around, dodge colorful projectiles, and deploy your trusty stuffed animal-slash-turret whenever possible just so you can make it to the next elevator in one piece!The game looks and feels like a roguelite that’s aimed towards midcore/casual gamers as well as children who enjoy challenging games, due to its easy-to-grasp gameplay and also its child-friendly visuals (no blood or gore). The protagonist herself is also a child, so there’s that. However, the game doesn’t seem to offer much once you’ve grinded and unlocked all your skills, and because of this, its full price is definitely a bit on the higher end.
Still, if you love playing rogue-lites and would like to buy a game that both you and your child can enjoy, Don’t Die, Minerva is a really great choice. It’s just that you might want to wait for a discount before you buy the game.
Operation X
Operation X is a spy-themed casual RPG where you are tasked to hunting down criminal masterminds and bringing them to justice through the shadowy enforcement agency known as the European Council Special Branch. The game possesses the usual RPG elements: complete missions, progress through the storyline, and earn enough cash or experience points to improve your character. For PvP, you get to pick your own battles so that allows for a rather easy progression through the ranks - just don't pick someone who is a lot stronger than you!All in all, Operation X is very much similar to games like Hero Zero and Chronicles of Nerdia except with a different theme. If you enjoy these games, you'll like this one. Try it today!
