Knights & Dragons vs Monster Harvest
Knights & Dragons
Knights & Dragons is a fun fantasy-themed RPG that is quite similar to Artix's popular browser-based 2D RPG, AdventureQuest, in terms of its art style and the humor it uses in its dialogue and storyline. In this game, you play as a Knight-Commander of the Kingdom, who was sent to the kingdom's frontier to push back against the horde of relentless monsters sent to attack the people by the evil Dark Prince. Aside from being able to assemble a team of noble knights, you can even capture battle pets that will help bolster certain stats, in addition to contributing some DPS, during combat.Not to mention, you will also get to build a base of some sort in this game. The base mainly houses some structures that will either help you upgrade or craft armor, or help you by generating coins passively over time. There's also a PvP arena for you to test your mettle against rival knights, a gacha-style Chance Chest where you can potentially win powerful armor sets, and even a guild system.
Knights & Dragons may look like a kid's RPG on the surface, much like AdventureQuest did, but if you really get into the game, you'll find that the game has plenty of depth, a pretty interesting storyline and a host of characters that are quite funny.

Monster Harvest
Monster Harvest is a very promising game that features a refreshing blend of monster-collecting and farming simulation. In this game, you grow various “pocket monsters” called Planimals at your farm and bring them to the local rec center to test your mettle or the dungeon to gather special materials. You'll get to develop both your farm and your skills as a Planimal trainer.If you love farming sims and collecting Pokemon - or any other types of pocket monsters really, then Monster Harvest is the game for you! The game features the very interesting premise of turning your crops into battle pets, and how you “slime” them will result in different kinds of pets with varying power. There’s even a roguelite dungeon and a gym for you to test your mettle at and, in the case of the dungeon, gather special resources for upgrades.
The sad thing is Monster Harvest is woefully early access and a work-in-progress. The game still has some pretty massive bugs and pending content (such as the empty-feeling “festival”), though none of them are completely game-breaking. In the worst case, you’ll just have to restart the game, though some players have reported corrupted saved games where all their planimals stored in the pen went missing.
Due to this, I’d not recommend getting the game right now. If you’re really interested, try the free demo and wishlist the game to keep an eye on it. Once the bugs are squashed to a more manageable level and some more features and content are added, then you might want to splurge and grab the game.
