Kingdom Classic vs Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines
Kingdom Classic
Kingdom Classic is a pretty challenging and yet entertaining, 2D game that also happens to be one of the more innovative tower defense games in recent years. Developed and published by indie companies, this game puts you in the role of a crown-totting king or queen who is setting out to find a suitable spot to settle down and build his or her own kingdom from the ground up.There aren't a lot of kingdom building in this game though. Aside from upgrading your main "base" which starts off being a simple campfire, you will only build and upgrade certain structures like farms, walls, and towers. The game also uses a really simple coins-based system where you rely on the coins you earn to do practically everything, from converting wild men in camps into your kingdom's loyal subjects to powering up special stats-boosting shrines, to unlocking new stone upgrades, and even to upgrading your very walls.
Your kingdom will be under constant attack by creatures from otherworldly dimensions every night, and hopefully by then, you would have some defenses up and ready. These creatures will become increasingly harder to kill, more in variety, and more in numbers, so you will need to ensure that your kingdom's defenses are sufficient to meet the threat.
Due to its difficulty, you might want to check out some of the guides out there after trying a round or two on your own, just so you won't pass up on this amazing game. Even with the guides though, you will still need to put in a good deal of effort and strategic thinking just to make it to Day 50 let alone Day 100. So, if you're a fan of tower defense-like games, don't mind pixel art, and enjoy a good challenge, Kingdom Classic is an indie game you will want to buy.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines offers a pretty unique, story-driven, first-person action RPG, partly because it features the exciting theme of vampires - who doesn't love them? - that is set in modern-day Los Angeles; and partly because you get to play as a vampire who has an incredible range of vampiric abilities and special weapons yourself! The cast of characters in this game is pretty amazing and well-fleshed out too.Not many players would know about this but Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines is actually based on White Wolf's popular Vampire: The Masquerade pen-and-paper RPG series. So, although this game might be old, you can still be sure to have an amazing time due to the rich and immersive storyline that it is sure to have!
However, if you do plan on getting the game, be sure to grab the unofficial patch and maybe some mods to fix some of the more glaring issues, along with the rather aging graphics, just so you'd have an even better time playing the game.
