Day R Survival vs Realm of the Mad God
Day R Survival
Day R Survival is a survival-themed, adventure-RPG set in a post-nuclear USSR that may bring to mind a slightly shallower (in terms of storyline) but more modern-looking version of old-school Fallout games. The game boasts of being a hardcore game as you will actually need to take into account various character-killing factors, including diseases or an infected wound, in addition to contending with the detrimental effects caused by radiation, hunger and thirst.There is a pretty in-depth crafting system as well, allowing you to make weapons, clothes and even transport (for faster traveling) by simply scavenging and collecting the parts you need. Naturally, being a "hot" zone, there are plenty of mutated creatures that you'll need to fight against, be it alone or with your friends via the game's co-op mode.
Day R Survival may not be a "Last Day on Earth"-type survival game but if you're looking for a game that may bring back some pangs of nostalgia for old Fallout games, this might just be the game to play.
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.
