FATE vs Helmet Heroes
FATE
FATE is kind of like the spiritual successor of the successful dungeon crawling franchise, Torchlight. Return to the glorious days of action RPGs by diving into the game's procedurally-generated dungeons, slaying monsters, stuffing loot into your backpacks, and developing your character from a scrawny adventurer into a battle-hardened one. You can also have fun with the game's trading system or you can simply try your luck with the NPC shopkeepers in the town of Grove. Like Torchlight, you can even adopt a pet - a dog or a cat - and evolve it into stronger creatures.FATE is the very first of an incredible series that doesn't only allow you to relive classic action RPGs, but also bring back feelings of nostalgia so strong that you might just cave in to your emotions. So, if you love dungeon crawlers, you'll want to grab this game for your Steam library.
Helmet Heroes
Helmet Heroes is a free-to-play, 2D platform-based MMORPG that not only has a Maplestory feel to it, but it’s also a child-oriented game due to its cartoonish graphics. Here, you’ll get to play as one of four adventurers who set out to explore an amazingly diverse world filled with various creatures to fight and loot to collect. The game also features a satisfying progression system whereby your character development is not hampered by your chosen class, a pretty challenging gameplay, and it can be somewhat punishing if you die while carrying a ton of cash.In some way, Helmet Heroes plays a lot like a simplified version of the platformer, Maplestory, with a hint of Mario albeit minus the anime part. The game focuses a lot on exploration whereby you’ll get to discover odd regions filled with as equally odd creatures which you farm for a chance to get the item you want. Item-stealing is a pretty fun aspect of the game and it reminds me a lot of the old Runescape, but the game does give the person who dealt the most damage looting priority, at least for the first few seconds. The open-ended-styled character development, despite having you to choose a class at the beginning, may also bring Runescape to mind.
So, all said and done, if you enjoy playing 2D platformer/MMORPGs, then Helmet Heroes is a game you should check out! The game’s free after all, and it can be played by the whole family as well.
