Overlord: Fellowship of Evil vs The Binding of Isaac
Overlord: Fellowship of Evil
Overlord: Fellowship of Evil lets you experience a warped and twisted, dark fantasy world in an action RPG that rewards the bad and venerates the evil. Featuring four brand-new Netherghuls, resurrected servants of the dark arts; a horde of maniacal minions as well as the horde's master, Gnarl, you'll have more ways than ever to cause mischievous humor, decimate or subjugate the population or simply perpetuate chaos and mayhem. You can develop your minions so they can withstand any resistance more easily. Best yet, you can even play the game cooperatively with up three friends locally or online.Overlord: Fellowship of Evil is the sort of rare game that simply give you the tools to cause total and utter mayhem and leave you to decide how to go about instilling terror into the AI populace. It's definitely a fun game to play when you need to blow off some steam, but bear in mind that this game is in no way the third installment of the popular Overlord franchise. Think of it as a more casual spin-off.
The Binding of Isaac
The Binding of Isaac is a rogue-like dungeon crawler that has a rather dark and depressing theme. In this game, you play the role of Isaac, a human boy who had to flee for his life after his mother heard the voice of God asking her to sacrifice his son to him. However, in a rather weird twist, the basement Isaac ran into turned into a waking nightmare and is filled with insane enemies, his fears and of course, his mother.Despite the rather abstract story, the gameplay is surprisingly solid. You'll find many gross items that will grant Isaac new powers and change his being, allowing him to fight off hordes of enemies and bosses of varying abilities. Interestingly, the levels you fight in are randomly generated and this gives The Binding of Isaac a kind of replayability that rivals that of other famous dungeon crawling games. Depending on your actions as Isaac, you'll also unlock different endings as well.
The Binding of Isaac is definitely a unique sort of dungeon crawler that uses the gruesome element that Diablo has so perfectly wielded to disgust you while giving you sufficient variety in terms of Isaac's abilities and the abilities of the enemy you'll be facing. If this is the sort of game for you, you might be interested to try the game out.
