Badland vs Gauntlet
Badland
Badland gained worldwide acclaim when it was first released mainly because the game itself has one of the best level designs on the mobile platform, responsive and intuitive controls, as well as a realistic physics-based gameplay. However, that's not the cherry on top - the game is possibly among the first on either Android or iOS to offer a multiplayer and co-op option despite being simply "a puzzle game". The graphics in this game is also incredibly stunning in its simplistic kind of way. The color hues supplemented the black, ball-like creature you'll be playing as. And of course, the game offers endless replayability via its level editor where players can create their own levels, share them to the world, and even play other people's levels too!Badland is an excellent atmospheric side-scrolling action-adventure platformer that guarantees hours of fun regardless of whether you're playing alone, or with or against friends. Its awards are very well-deserved and by playing it (you can get it for free), you'll quickly realize this is one of the many gems in the indie gaming scene.
Gauntlet
Gauntlet is a 4-player cooperative (both online and on splitscreen mode) dungeon crawler that guarantees hours of dungeon crawling action for you and your friends. Since each level is randomly generated, you'll never encounter the same level twice! Not to mention, Gauntlet has a gameplay that feels a lot like Diablo 3, where you can battle hordes of enemies for shiny loot, rare Relics, which you can then use to unlock new abilities, and of course, glory. You can even play as one of four archetype characters namely Warrior, Elf, Wizard and the most unique character, Valkyrie.Overall, Gauntlet is a dungeon crawler that is incredibly fun to play with friends despite its apparent lack of a storyline. Every element of the game just seemed to come together so well after all. So, if you're a fan os dungeon crawlers and have some friends with the same interests, well, this game may just be the game you all need.
