Durango: Wild Lands vs Salem
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.
Salem
Salem is an old-school and somewhat obscure (but fun) sandbox MMORPG that unlike Wurm Online has a stronger emphasis on its in-depth crafting system and survival aspect rather than building.Similar to Wurm Online though, Salem is not a voxel-based game, but you are still able to mold the game environment through resource gathering, mining and digging in a way that reminds me of the currently-shelved MMORPG, EverQuest Next: Landmark. Of course, although not exactly the focus of the game, you can still build your homestead and the process is quite similar to Wurm Online except that it occurs at a much higher speed.
Not to mention, the game world in Salem is simply humongous to the point where it feels like an actual world. Salem also borrowed some features from ArcheAge where open-world PvP is the norm, so you'll need to be vigilant at all times, but players who kill and steal for no reason will be labelled as criminals and can be punished.
However, as good as it is despite being an indie MMO and all, Salem does have its fair share of flaws due to its low development budget. So, we'd recommend you to take a look at Salem without carrying along any high expectations. It's a pretty good MMORPG like Minecraft, but if you're expecting a Minecraft clone, you may end up disappointing yourself.
