Gauntlet vs Realm of the Mad God
Gauntlet
Gauntlet is a 4-player cooperative (both online and on splitscreen mode) dungeon crawler that guarantees hours of dungeon crawling action for you and your friends. Since each level is randomly generated, you'll never encounter the same level twice! Not to mention, Gauntlet has a gameplay that feels a lot like Diablo 3, where you can battle hordes of enemies for shiny loot, rare Relics, which you can then use to unlock new abilities, and of course, glory. You can even play as one of four archetype characters namely Warrior, Elf, Wizard and the most unique character, Valkyrie.Overall, Gauntlet is a dungeon crawler that is incredibly fun to play with friends despite its apparent lack of a storyline. Every element of the game just seemed to come together so well after all. So, if you're a fan os dungeon crawlers and have some friends with the same interests, well, this game may just be the game you all need.
Realm of the Mad God
Realm of the Mad God is a rather addictively fun dungeon crawler that originated as a web game on Kongregate. The game is set in the realm of a mad god called Oryx, who is intent on doing his best to swamp you with monsters and creatures so you'd die... and being a hardcore game, your death is pretty much permanent. Like most dungeon crawlers, there are a crazy load of items you can loot and equip to help your character survive a little while longer. Interestingly, each item you get in the game has its own unique, and sometimes hilarious, lore behind it.The gameplay is incredibly fun as well. The action combat mainly consists of running and gunning, though recklessness and getting yourself overwhelmed is always a lingering possibility. The boss fights in this game is very challenging too, sometimes requiring you to work cooperatively with other players in order to be victorious. Don't worry - the experience you get is shared.
Realm of the Mad God proves once again that a game simply need to be entertaining, easily accessible and visually functional to be a hit game. If you enjoy dungeon crawlers that is just all around fun, this is the game to play.
