Grim Soul vs Project Zomboid
Grim Soul
Grim Soul is a fantasy-based, survival RPG by Kefir! which pretty much follows the similar formula they've used in their insanely popular game, Last Day on Earth: Survival albeit with a more medieval theme.In this game, you'll get to build your own castle and defend against the plagued zombie knights and lost souls. Players can explore new castles for resources crucial for survival. These resources can be used to craft invaluable items that include workbenches, medieval weapons, and strong armory to defend against the wandering souls. You also get to manage your own castle by defending it through indigenous traps and strong defense systems. Moreover, the game includes war horses to ride, dangerous animals to hunt and resources to acquire in an open world environment. Players can also form clans to help survive a bit longer in the wild.
If you have a knack for survival games, Grim Soul is definitely one of the best MMORPGs out there with unique crafting features.
Project Zomboid
Project Zomboid takes the post-apocalyptic zombie survival genre to the next level with one of the most realistic gameplay to date. After all, surviving isn't just blowing the heads off zombies or finding food - your mental health is as equally important! In many ways, the game feels a lot like Don't Starve when it comes to the more hardcore gameplay, though its persistent and ever-growing game map can be liken to that of Minecraft while its stats-based progression is somewhat similar to the old Runescape. There are so many skills you can level up, and which one you'd like to focus on is entirely up to you. Of course, you can customize your character's looks as well.Aside from the common Sandbox and Survival modes, the game even has fun and imaginative Challenge scenarios and action-packed "Last Stand" mode which frankly plays out a lot like Serious Sam albeit in isometric view.
Featuring a unique pixel-like visuals and an isomeric perspective, Project Zomboid is a really promising early access game that fans of survival games would really enjoy. It's full of content, be it exploring or crafting, and it's tough enough to keep you hooked.
