Profane vs Thief Gold
Profane
Profane is a hardcore bullet-hell game where you’ll battle challenging bosses in arenas in hopes of finding the source of the corruption that has gripped your tribe and cleansing it to save your people. The game has a pretty high skill ceiling and can be quite unforgiving but this makes every victory you earn so much sweeter!An aptly-titled game for sure, since the game can be relentless and punishing, which may or may not result in blurting out some form of profanity as you play, Profane is a game that is as relentlessly punishing as it is hardcore. Besides the high skill ceiling, the somewhat confusing storyline, and the not-ideal default controls for keyboard and mouse players, the game is exceptionally well-made, has some pretty cool graphics and animations, and features a ton -and I do mean a ton- of unique bosses that will definitely challenge you.
So, if you love playing bullet-hells and would like a challenge, Profane is one game you’ll want to keep your eye on!
Thief Gold
Thief Gold is the very first Thief game in the franchise and it is possibly the most revolutionary back in the day. With stealth as the core of its gameplay, you'll need to use whatever tools (blackjack, sword, and a variety of arrows) and skills you have to steal goods and information alike while you gradually uncover the secret agendas of various important people in a story of deception and vengeance. The game even has advanced enemies that are more aware than most, can sound the dreaded alarms, and can communicate with other enemies to relay information.Thief Gold is a classic stealth game that many modern games are inspired by. However, the game might not have aged as well, and the graphics may put you off. Thankfully there are mods, right? Well, if you've got the chance and you love stealth games, this is definitely a game you should try.
