The Culling vs The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot
The Culling
The Culling is, in many ways, a potentially great PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds alternative game. In fact, many would say that this is perhaps the very first standalone, battle royale game that is inspired directly from the Hunger Games. As such, you'll expect a pretty brutal arena set on a remote island where players will not only need to explore the foreign land to scavenge for resources but also to craft a wide variety of weapons, traps and tools just so you can ambush your fellow players. Naturally, being battle royale and all, the last man standing will be the victor.Each match can contain up to 16 contestants (and yes, like Hunger Games, The Culling is apparently a game show) and the game lasts for around 20 minutes. There is also a tutorial, a training mode where you play against AI bots, and a special 8-player Lightning Round where players get access to the best weapons early on in the game. As a game show, the "organizers" will often spice things up with special in-match events that have some pretty crucial rewards too. Like the Hunger Games, players can also each call in an airdrop (a.k.a. "care package") containing valuable items but getting to that airdrop in one piece without having your stuff stolen before you reach there can be quite a challenge in itself.
Now, unlike PUBG's shooter-heavy gameplay, The Culling has a more visceral, action-based, melee-oriented gameplay that will make every successful kill a very satisfying one. Don't get me wrong - the game does have ranged options like bows and guns but having a firearm or any ranged weapons may not be an advantage if you don't know how to keep your distance. Players can easily be disarmed of their ranged weapon if they are ambushed by a melee player, and of course, if you missed your aim, you may not have a second shot.
However, due to a plague of problems between the developers and its community, The Culling seems to be a pretty dead game at the moment and hence, finding a match can be quite difficult. Similar to PUBG, The Culling is not a free game either and this game is on the pricey end considering its almost non-existant player base.
The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot
The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot is a playfully quaint and rather addictive action/strategy game with a very nice and unique gameplay. In this game, you’ll get to invade other people’s castles in a RPG-like gameplay to get the epic loot you've been promised, while you’ll also be defending your own castle from invaders in a “tower defense”-style. Although the game can be rather pay-to-win and extremely grindy for free-to-play players, The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot is a great game that you can play casually just so you can enjoy the thrill of its gameplay and, of course, beating your friends’ castles. So, start building up a castle with defenses that you can be proud of now!The Mighty Quest for Epic Loot was unfortunately shut down back in August 2016, but if you love playing dungeon-building games like this one, you might want to check out our selection of similar games!
