Darksiders II vs Realm of the Mad God
Darksiders II
Darksiders II follows in the footsteps of the original game in many ways, particularly the in-depth character progression system and an extensive skill tree, but this time around, you'll be playing as Death, the most formidable of all the four legendary Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Set off across a massive open world in order to redeem your brother's name, you'll stumble upon an ancient grudge that may decimate all of creation. Unlike War, Death is a lot more agile, allowing you to perform some impressive acrobatic acts which may unlock previously unaccessible paths.Despite the improved replayability, Darksiders II is simply that sort of game that you'll probably not return to often but is great enough to leave a distinct feeling and memory with you for life. And well, you get to play as Death himself... what's not awesome about that?
Realm of the Mad God
Realm of the Mad God is a rather addictively fun dungeon crawler that originated as a web game on Kongregate. The game is set in the realm of a mad god called Oryx, who is intent on doing his best to swamp you with monsters and creatures so you'd die... and being a hardcore game, your death is pretty much permanent. Like most dungeon crawlers, there are a crazy load of items you can loot and equip to help your character survive a little while longer. Interestingly, each item you get in the game has its own unique, and sometimes hilarious, lore behind it.The gameplay is incredibly fun as well. The action combat mainly consists of running and gunning, though recklessness and getting yourself overwhelmed is always a lingering possibility. The boss fights in this game is very challenging too, sometimes requiring you to work cooperatively with other players in order to be victorious. Don't worry - the experience you get is shared.
Realm of the Mad God proves once again that a game simply need to be entertaining, easily accessible and visually functional to be a hit game. If you enjoy dungeon crawlers that is just all around fun, this is the game to play.
