Don't Die, Minerva! vs Super Mario 3D World
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.
