Realm of the Mad God vs Rust
Realm of the Mad God
Realm of the Mad God is a rather addictively fun dungeon crawler that originated as a web game on Kongregate. The game is set in the realm of a mad god called Oryx, who is intent on doing his best to swamp you with monsters and creatures so you'd die... and being a hardcore game, your death is pretty much permanent. Like most dungeon crawlers, there are a crazy load of items you can loot and equip to help your character survive a little while longer. Interestingly, each item you get in the game has its own unique, and sometimes hilarious, lore behind it.The gameplay is incredibly fun as well. The action combat mainly consists of running and gunning, though recklessness and getting yourself overwhelmed is always a lingering possibility. The boss fights in this game is very challenging too, sometimes requiring you to work cooperatively with other players in order to be victorious. Don't worry - the experience you get is shared.
Realm of the Mad God proves once again that a game simply need to be entertaining, easily accessible and visually functional to be a hit game. If you enjoy dungeon crawlers that is just all around fun, this is the game to play.
Rust
Rust is hardcore survival game where the only aim for every player in the game is to survive. Being a survival game, your character will have needs that you'll need to fulfill or risk getting ill or worse... dying from it. There are tons of recipes for you to craft a wide variety of items from as long as you've got the resources you need, and you can also hunt and built a shelter.As fun as this game may sound, the community in this game can be a bit toxic. Most players have a kill-on-sight policy (even if you're naked and literally have nothing with you) and this means playing alone can be very frustrating. If you're planning to play this game, you might want to get a larger group of friends - maybe somewhere around 5 or more players - or you'll quickly realize you want your money back now.
