Don't Die, Minerva! vs Secret World Legends
Don't Die, Minerva!
Don't Die, Minerva! is a Halloween-themed, arcade shooter-like, rogue-lite where you play as 11-year-old Minerva who was trapped in a haunted mansion and is desperate to find a way out. Kite enemies around, dodge colorful projectiles, and deploy your trusty stuffed animal-slash-turret whenever possible just so you can make it to the next elevator in one piece!The game looks and feels like a roguelite that’s aimed towards midcore/casual gamers as well as children who enjoy challenging games, due to its easy-to-grasp gameplay and also its child-friendly visuals (no blood or gore). The protagonist herself is also a child, so there’s that. However, the game doesn’t seem to offer much once you’ve grinded and unlocked all your skills, and because of this, its full price is definitely a bit on the higher end.
Still, if you love playing rogue-lites and would like to buy a game that both you and your child can enjoy, Don’t Die, Minerva is a really great choice. It’s just that you might want to wait for a discount before you buy the game.
Secret World Legends
Secret World Legends is a Lovecraftian-inspired MMORPG that’s very different from any MMO you might have played before in your life. Featuring a unique horror-like approach, the game deals not only in the supernatural, conspiracies and the magical, but also the shadowy world of secret societies set in modern times. The resulting dark and somewhat dreary blend provides the optimal platform for the game’s riveting storyline to be built on. The game is also perhaps the only one to have short yet brilliantly-made cinematics for every important quest you pick up, allowing you to not only immerse yourself further into the story but also appreciate the perfection in the voice acting that was included.Not to mention, Secret World Legends has a completely unique chance-based combat system which allows players to deal additional damage whenever certain criteria are met. There is even an in-depth talent and skills system along with various equipment upgrades for players to customize their character to fit the roles they play in either PvE or PvP.
So, if you’re up for an MMORPG that’s one-of-its-kind, Secret World Legends is definitely the one game you simply must try. It will slowly but surely reel you into its many worlds, plot twists and conspiracies.
