Dynasty Warriors 6 vs Risk of Rain
Dynasty Warriors 6
Dynasty Warriors 6 puts you once more into battle in Ancient China where you are able to decide the fate of the nation by picking a character from one of the 3 main families. The Wei, Shu and Wu are once move vying for control and this time, with 41 playable characters you can be crowned Emperor in a lot of different ways. This time, instead of weapons providing more combos you have a Renbu system where the more attacks you make the more your bar fills up, the more of the Renbu you have the better your attacks become.Bases have also changed, they are now bigger and have more soldiers in them, but you can target the captain to instantly claim it as your own. The battlefields also changed now that you can swim, and climb ladders over the defensive walls. All in all an exciting change to the system and a lot of fun to play a complete game for you to enjoy.
Risk of Rain
Risk of Rain is a rogue-like, action platformer that is difficult enough to be challenging and is punishing (perma-death). You can choose to face the constantly spawning enemies alone - well, not exactly since you'll have your drone - or cooperatively with up to 3 other friends in hopes of collecting all the tools you need to find the teleporter machine and to finally, head back home. The enemies you fight are randomly generated by combining traits and abilities from a fixed yet extensive list as well, making the game a lot more unpredictable and hence, enjoyable.In addition to the 12 unique characters that you can unlock and a plethora of powerups to use, the game is also set on a mysterious planet with diverse biomes, ranging from dark forests to the frozen tundra. There is even an engrossing storyline which you can slowly piece together by collecting items and monster logs in your adventures.
Risk of Rain is definitely a fun and challenging platform game to play alone, but it particularly shines when you play it with friends. Time just seems to fly by in co-op mode and of course, let's not forget about the hilarious moments when one of you messed up (intentionally or otherwise).
