Castle Crashers vs Gauntlet
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.
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.
