Last Day on Earth: Survival vs RimWorld
Last Day on Earth: Survival
Last Day on Earth: Survival is one of the best zombie-themed survival MMO games to have hit the mobile platform and it is not at all surprising to see how well the game is doing on both GooglePlay and the Appstore. In this game, you'll be spending most of your time harvesting resources just so you can build and reinforce your shelter on a separate, instanced land that can be attacked by other players and zombie hordes alike. So, there isn't exactly a point in hoarding resources when your shelter's defenses are weak enough for other players to simply relieve you of your hard work.There are plenty of locations for you to explore and even zombie-infested, dungeon-like military bunkers to find better goods like guns, ammo, weapon parts and other items; an in-depth crafting system which has long crafting duration - the game is free-to-play after all; as well as a ruthless open world PvP where personal survival is of utmost importance. Of course, you will also need to keep your character well-fed and hydrated or he will die and whatever he's carrying will be up for grabs for any lucky passer-bys.
Last Day on Earth: Survival may be an excellent game, but it still have some flaws. For instance, it'd be nice to have a better tutorial to ease new players into the game and perhaps a PvP cap to prevent higher level players from bullying lower level ones. That said, the game is as close to a fun and hardcore survival game that you can play on the go. So, if you're interested, make sure to check the game out.
RimWorld
RimWorld is a sci-fi-themed colony simulation game where you need to build a livable and possibly self-sustaining base by making full use of all the skills your survivors have. Your survivors have their own sets of personalities as well and hence, they will react to the events that are happening around them, form relationships with other survivors, and even refuse to do work that they don't want to do. It's also nice to note that the game emphasizes on parts of the body so if your survivor lost a leg in an accident, he or she can still hobble around on the other provided that some form of replacement, like a peg leg, is given.Although most worlds have multiple biomes, the world you play in is randomly generated, so basically, you will never get the same world twice. The most interesting part about this game though is its AI storyteller. It is the "god of luck" who will throw challenges at you, be it disasterous weather or a pirate raid. There are a few types you can choose from as well, ranging from Randy Random who likes to randomly give you events to deal with to Phoebe Chillax who favors more neutral or positive events and takes it easy with the more negative ones.
RimWorld is perhaps the ultimate story-driven sandbox game that not only lets you build your own colonies and manage them; you'll also get to experience a story that is written as you play along. Sounds just like a game you'd like to play? Well, be sure to check this game out!
