The Walking Dead: Our World vs Urban Dead
The Walking Dead: Our World
The Walking Dead: Our World is a fun geo-based augmented reality game that is inspired by the hit TV show, The Walking Dead. Following in the successful footsteps of Pokemon Go, the game features a simple tap-based gameplay where you complete missions by killing zombies, rescuing trapped people and bringing them to your shelter, and even fight other hostile survivors. You won't be doing all of this alone either! The game lets you recruit and upgrade a host of familiar companions to fight alongside you, in addition to collecting powerful weapons and improving them.Unlike Pokemon Go where you will need to travel to a location to collect "resources" like pokeballs and berries or to search for new pokemon, in this game, you can enjoy a sufficient portion of the game without actually budging from your spot. However, there are some aspects that still require some traveling, such as survivor rescue. Players can band together here as well, and this is advantageous mainly because you can basically "teleport" to any location in the world where members of your group have put up a flare.
The Walking Dead: Our World has a really great game design and is backed by one of the most popular TV shows around (short of Game of Thrones, of course). However, the game can only run properly on mid-high to high-end devices, and well, it might be hard to get fans of the show to jump on the bandwagon and try the game out since the demographics for this game are very different from Pokemon Go, which mainly appeals to teens to young adults today.
Urban Dead
Urban Dead is a mainly text-based MMO game set in a post-apocalyptic city that you can play straight from your browser. Assume the role as an urban survivor trapped in a quarantined city just trying to get by. However, unlike most games, Urban Dead is an MMO and as such, you'll encounter other players as you wander from place to place hoping to scavenge something - anything - that might help you. These players can be friendly or hostile (though, it's more often the case the latter).You can even set up a center of operations, so to speak, by clearing a place out and lock the place down. Other players might try to break into your base though, so it might be best to recruit a few trustworthy players to help you maintain your base and keep it as well as everything you hoard in it safe from any looters. Of course, there are also zombies that will attack your base and you, if you are unlucky enough to bump into one or an entire horde.
Urban Dead is a quite different text-based game admittedly, but it is still very addictive to play. It might be best to play with friends though due to how its base building feature is structured and well, there is always safety in numbers.
