Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate vs The Greedy Cave 2: Time Gate
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is the latest sequel to one of the best monster-hunting action-adventure game of all time. Available on the Nintendo 3DS, you embark on yet another exciting journey to hunt impressively large beasts across multiple locales just so you can use the resources you've harvested to craft a wide variety of equally impressive-looking weapons and armor. There are many ways you can choose to engage your enemies and by opting for the correct weapon, you can easily switch the gameplay to suit your play style. Master both the art of hunting and slaying these creatures and well, who knows? You might just stand a chance to secure the coveted title of the Ultimate Hunter. Similar to the previous game, the game has a co-op mode where you can party up with 3 of your friends or with random strangers via the Nintendo Network.The Greedy Cave 2: Time Gate
The Greedy Cave 2: Time Gate is the highly-anticipated sequel to the roguelike dungeon crawler niche hit of the same name. The gameplay is pretty much similar to the latter - it can get rather grindy after a while. This also means turn-based combat supplemented by skills, gear that can be upgraded, and loot that you can only bring out of the dungeon if it has a grade that's gold or above.What's different about this game though is the fact that you can team up with other players and head into the dungeon together in real time! The game is also a lot more social since it has a guild feature which allows players-slash-adventurers to find reliable buddies to raid dungeons with. Although there isn't exactly a story per se in the original game, this time around, the game showcases a short yet well-described introduction which explains the presence of a so-called time gate which appeared in town one day.
The social features in The Greedy Cave 2: Time Gate is definitely a step in the right direction for the game franchise. However, the game is still in development and hence, many (other) aspects of the game aren't as nice as they should be right now. With feedback from the players and changes to the game, hopefully, this sequel will turn out to be as great as the original!
