Castle Crashers vs Dead by Daylight
Castle Crashers
Castle Crashers is a fun arcade-like action-adventure game where you can team up with up to four of your friends to crash some castles and save the princess in distress. Being a lot like a mini-game, Castle Crashers provides players with a wide range of game modes as well as over 25 cute characters who can wield more than 40 different weapons. The combat system in this game is very nicely done as well. Instead of using a simple hack-and-slash system, the game implements an intuitive combo and magic system where using the correct sequence of skills to unleash a combo effect is more important than clicking frantically.Level up your character and invest stat points into the stat that benefit your hero the most. There are also animal orbs that you can carry around with you, each of which provides you with a unique ability to help you in your adventures.
If all of these sound just like what you like in a game, you should definitely check out Castle Crashers. It can guarantee you and your friends hours of hilarious fun as you hop and hack your way through various locations.
Dead by Daylight
Dead by Daylight is a rather interesting multiplayer game because it uses a 4-vs-1 where the 1 player plays as the Killer in the first-person view while the other 4 players take on the role of the Survivors who will have more situational awareness by playing in third person view. Each Killer/ Survivor will have their own progression system, allowing players to customize their character to their play styles and since each level is procedurally generated, predictability isn't exactly a word in this game's dictionary.The best part about the gameplay though is that the Survivors can actually choose to try to escape from the Killing Grounds together or in their own separate ways. It doesn't force you to cooperate with other Survivors and well, frankly, the axiom that goes "there is strength in numbers" may not ring true in this game... after all, by needing to locate only one of you, the Killer would have found and slayed all the Survivors in a single go.
Aside from the brilliant gameplay, Dead by Daylight also has the perfectly creepy atmosphere to match its somewhat gory theme. This is definitely not a game for the weak-hearted! However, the game has had a major technical fault which apparently wiped the progress of many players. Not to mention, playing in this game can be frustrating at times especially whenever either the survivors or the killer bring in overpowered add-ons which will tilt the game heavily in one side's favor. In fact, you can easily know who will win within the first few minutes of the game.
So, as amazing as the game concept is, Dead By Daylight still needs to do a ton of improvement, especially fix all of their game bugs, for it to be a game worth buying. That said, if you're interested to give it a try, you can wait for its Free-to_play weekends or you can buy it during a massive discount.
