Nuclear Blaze vs Risk of Rain
Nuclear Blaze
Nuclear Blaze is a 2D platformer where you play as a brave firefighter. The goal here is to extinguish all the flames on a level in an abandoned military facility and exit the place without dying. There are plenty of challenges to be had here, from fiery debris to gas-filled pipes, as well as secret rooms to find, kitties to rescue, and memos detailing what happened there. Will you be able to finally put a stop to the raging fire?Risk of Rain
Risk of Rain is a rogue-like, action platformer that is difficult enough to be challenging and is punishing (perma-death). You can choose to face the constantly spawning enemies alone - well, not exactly since you'll have your drone - or cooperatively with up to 3 other friends in hopes of collecting all the tools you need to find the teleporter machine and to finally, head back home. The enemies you fight are randomly generated by combining traits and abilities from a fixed yet extensive list as well, making the game a lot more unpredictable and hence, enjoyable.In addition to the 12 unique characters that you can unlock and a plethora of powerups to use, the game is also set on a mysterious planet with diverse biomes, ranging from dark forests to the frozen tundra. There is even an engrossing storyline which you can slowly piece together by collecting items and monster logs in your adventures.
Risk of Rain is definitely a fun and challenging platform game to play alone, but it particularly shines when you play it with friends. Time just seems to fly by in co-op mode and of course, let's not forget about the hilarious moments when one of you messed up (intentionally or otherwise).
