Helmet Heroes vs Overcooked
Helmet Heroes
Helmet Heroes is a free-to-play, 2D platform-based MMORPG that not only has a Maplestory feel to it, but it’s also a child-oriented game due to its cartoonish graphics. Here, you’ll get to play as one of four adventurers who set out to explore an amazingly diverse world filled with various creatures to fight and loot to collect. The game also features a satisfying progression system whereby your character development is not hampered by your chosen class, a pretty challenging gameplay, and it can be somewhat punishing if you die while carrying a ton of cash.In some way, Helmet Heroes plays a lot like a simplified version of the platformer, Maplestory, with a hint of Mario albeit minus the anime part. The game focuses a lot on exploration whereby you’ll get to discover odd regions filled with as equally odd creatures which you farm for a chance to get the item you want. Item-stealing is a pretty fun aspect of the game and it reminds me a lot of the old Runescape, but the game does give the person who dealt the most damage looting priority, at least for the first few seconds. The open-ended-styled character development, despite having you to choose a class at the beginning, may also bring Runescape to mind.
So, all said and done, if you enjoy playing 2D platformer/MMORPGs, then Helmet Heroes is a game you should check out! The game’s free after all, and it can be played by the whole family as well.
Overcooked
Overcooked is a fun cooking-themed time management game that has a wicked, co-operative twist - instead of managing workers in your kitchen like some version of Gordon Ramsay, you will get to play with up to 4 of your friends. By now, you can probably imagine the havoc around the kitchen as each of you dashes around in order to get a dish from its humble beginning as raw food into something actually edible. Of course, the game does have a single-player mode if you prefer to play on your own, but admittedly, the game becomes a whole lot more entertaining when other humans are added to the equation.The game also has a quirky storyline set in the fantasy kingdom called Onion Kingdom. Apparently, the kingdom is in danger and only through cooking will you be able to save it. In your adventure, you and your team of chefs will journey through a series of unusually interesting kitchens in hopes of gaining the skills needed to defeat the edible evil which threatens the land.
Overcooked is definitely the game to play if you're into hectic co-op games that will not only push your team's time management skills to the limit, but also put your friendship to the test!
