DwarfHeim vs Salem
DwarfHeim
DwarfHeim is a truly unique cooperative-based real-time strategy (RTS) game. Instead of the usual one player that controls everything from building bases, gathering resources, training troops for battle, DwarfHeim requires three players to play three different roles or classes, i.e. builder, miner, and warrior. Choosing the right role can mean the difference between victory and defeat in the game. The trio then has to work together to defeat the enemy dwarves or even endless waves of troll attacks. Only with good synergy and teamwork will the team emerge victoriously!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.
