Helmet Heroes vs Unravel
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.
Unravel
Unravel is a very unique puzzle-platformer that features an adorable yarn-made character that’s aptly called Yarny. With a heart-warming story that has no words to drive the game, you’ll get to set off on a beautiful adventure with Yarny as he tries to reconnect the long-lost memories of his family.The gameplay in Unravel is simply amazing. Being a physics-based puzzle game, players will need to use Yarny’s single thread to interact with the gorgeous game environment, which was inspired by the beautiful forests of Northern Scandinavia by the way, to swing across a wide gap or hitch a ride on a flying kite. Although the puzzles may seem difficult or maybe impossible at first, the tools that you/Yarny has is more than enough to solve them.
Unravel is not only a fun and challenging puzzle game but it also provides players with an emotional, heartfelt journey and a charming character to play as. It’s an excellent game and is one you should definitely play especially if you’re into games from this sort of genre.
