Durango: Wild Lands vs Keplerth: Another World
Durango: Wild Lands
Durango: Wild Lands , developed by Nexon, is an open world survival game that is set in a primitive time, and yet, due to some weird time warp, you will still have access to modern-day weapons and other items. The game features an in-depth crafting system where you can convert the resources you've painstakingly accumulated into better goods, tools, or even as building parts to construct your home base. Unlike Last Day on Earth: Survival or Jurassic Survival, this game also provides players with trading system that is pretty much player-driven, plenty of new islands to explore, as well as exciting real-time co-op battles against enemy clans and huge dinosaurs.Although the game is still in closed beta, it has shown so much potential to be an even more addictive game than Last Day on Earth: Survival due to its open world gameplay. In fact, it feels a lot like one of those massive standalone RPGs that you play in PC or consoles which have been somehow condensed into the relatively tiny mobile device in your hand. So, if you're interested to give the game a try, you can try to become a beta tester by signing up on the website or you can stay tuned to updates from the game by subscribing to its newsletter.
Keplerth: Another World
Keplerth: Another World is a sandbox-survival game where you'll need to go out into the world to gather the resources you need and turn them into useful items via various the workbench and other crafting stations. If you have played Rimworld, you may quickly notice the similarities in terms of the graphics and the "feel" between those two games. However, the gameplay is slightly different since it resembles the game Don't Starve rather than Rimworld in which you control a main character and all you have to do is to make sure that you survive while exploring the vast world around you. There is no colony management involved!Being a survival game, you'll be expected to keep yourself nourished. Your hunger level drops pretty quickly in this game and if you're up for a quick advice - it's best to get a stove up and running asap, in addition to collecting every morsel of food that you come across. At the stove, you can craft a Big Feast which will fill up 25% of your satiety meter. Keep crafting these stuff and you'll never die of hunger even during your many expeditions away from your base.
The base-building aspect here is fairly simple and frankly, there aren't as many decor, unlike in games like Minecraft, that you can furnish your place with. Combat is very hack-and-slash too - just make sure you are facing the enemy when you hack at them. You can also opt for a bow if you like.
In short, Keplerth is truly an engrossing sandbox-survival game that successfully merged the artistic style of Rimworld with the somewhat intense (and hardcore, depending on the difficulty level you chose) gameplay of Don't Starve. There are some issues with the game still, such as having enemies randomly spawning within your base if that corner happened to be unlit, but overall, the game is definitely worth the cost and the time you'll spend playing it.
