Rend vs WolfQuest
Rend
Rend is an up-and-coming, Nordic-themed, team-based survival game that is set in a wild and ruthless, fantasy world filled with fantastic creatures, where only the strongest are able to ascend to the realms of the gods. In this game, players are separated into their respective factions at the beginning. They are then given the freedom to explore the many biomes and harvest resources from the environment whether solo or co-operatively. The resources obtained can then be used to craft better weapons and tools or can be reinvested into the faction stronghold to fortify it from potential attacks from players from a rival faction and to advance your base just so you can unlock new technologies. Players have their own skill systems and talent trees as well, and these are the main ways for a player to customize and tweak their characters to their liking.The ultimate goal of the game, however, is to reap as many warrior spirits as you can by battling and defeating rival players and deposit the souls at the Divinity Stone in the middle of your faction base, that is if you're not slain while carrying such precious loot. Somewhat similar to grand strategy games, Rend is more of a continual game. It has game cycles of 2 to 3 months, in which the winning faction of each cycle will get a nice pile of rewards at the end of a cycle.
Rend has a really unique take on the survival genre and this might just give the game the fuel it needs to rise to the top. The game is currently in Alpha and its release date is still TBD.
WolfQuest
WolfQuest is a rather unique simulation game where you actually play as a two-year-old gray wolf born in the Northern Range of Yellowstone National Park - an age where it's time for you to go off on your own. You'll need to learn to hunt for food, find a suitable mate, set-up a comfy den and build a family. The game lets you play in single-player mode where you can learn how to be a virtual wolf yourself or multiplayer where you can do everything in a pack with your friends (private server) or with strangers (public server).The game WolfQuest has a sort of charm to it, because firstly, it is so different from any other animal simulation game you might have played before as it feels a lot more realistic; and secondly, you actually feel related; linked to the wolf you play as and want to help him to set-up a home and family of his own. It's not the sort of game to be rushed through - it is the sort of game that you'll need to slowly savor.
So, if that is your thing, then you might like playing WolfQuest. Even if you think it's not, try the free demo anyway. The game might just surprise you!
