Fossil Hunters vs Monster Hunter
Fossil Hunters
Fossil Hunters is a cute anime-like action-adventure game where you play as an archeologist who has been selected to join an elite team of your peers. However, you arrived on the excavation site only to find that everyone else has gone ahead without you and that they have gotten themselves stuck down there somehow. Now, you will have to descend through the many levels of excavation floors in order to save them.Each floor is sectioned off by a mysterious force field which prevents you from immediately descending to the lowest level. Instead, you will need to solve what seems to be a "fossil jigsaw puzzle" by sloting in fossil fragments that you find by clearing away dirt. The game ramps up the difficulty soon after by introducing landslides and weird little creatures whose favorite food is apparently the fossils you excavated. These creatures are afraid of lights though, and as such, you can purchase and place excavation lamps around the work site to deter any creatures from gobbling up the fossiles you've fixed into place... or you can just hit them to scare them away... you know, whichever works best for you!
Fossil Hunters is also a co-op game as well, allowing up to 4 players to play together. If this sounds just like the sort of casual adventure game you enjoy, make sure to check out the game on Steam!
Monster Hunter
Monster Hunter is the very first of a successful monster-hunting RPG that sees you venturing out into a fantastical world filled with massive monsters and creatures to slay. There are plenty of quests in this game ranging from protecting a town from invading monsters or collecting quest items for an NPC. As you level up, you'll gain access to far more destructive weapons and skills, all of which can be further upgraded. Best yet you can play this game in single-player or cooperatively (online multiplayer) with up to three other friends.Monster Hunter turns the usual "kill x monsters" that you frequently encounter in MMORPGs into a truly challenging task, giving you the sort of elation that comes when you've successfully (and possibly barely) slain a boss and apply it to every battle encounter in this game.
