Kingdom Hearts Union X vs Risk of Rain
Kingdom Hearts Union X
Kingdom Hearts Union X (previously known as Kingdom Hearts Unchained X) provides players with the rare opportunity to enjoy a fantasy-themed and casual-like adventure RPG that mashes up the universes of both Kingdom Hearts and Disney. Featuring an innovative and unique combat system, this game will see you grow your ability as a wielder of the powerful, light-infused weapon, the Keyblade, and fight to banish the darkness that has managed to cover almost every corner of the world. Re-experience every popular fairy tale from Disney's massive repertoire through the Kingdom Hearts' lens while having fun with friends as you work cooperatively to take down challenging raid bosses. You can even compete with other players at the Coliseum and climb the rank ladder.Best of all, this game is simply so adorable and has plenty of costumes and accessories to match. Can you imagine having your character dressed in a cute Winnie-the-Pooh onesie as you run around slaying the Heartless?
Kingdom Hearts Union X may not be a "true Kingdom Hearts" game but it's a pretty darn good mobile spin-off that's fun and casual to play. So, if you love Kingdom Hearts, you should definitely give this game a chance.
Risk of Rain
Risk of Rain is a rogue-like, action platformer that is difficult enough to be challenging and is punishing (perma-death). You can choose to face the constantly spawning enemies alone - well, not exactly since you'll have your drone - or cooperatively with up to 3 other friends in hopes of collecting all the tools you need to find the teleporter machine and to finally, head back home. The enemies you fight are randomly generated by combining traits and abilities from a fixed yet extensive list as well, making the game a lot more unpredictable and hence, enjoyable.In addition to the 12 unique characters that you can unlock and a plethora of powerups to use, the game is also set on a mysterious planet with diverse biomes, ranging from dark forests to the frozen tundra. There is even an engrossing storyline which you can slowly piece together by collecting items and monster logs in your adventures.
Risk of Rain is definitely a fun and challenging platform game to play alone, but it particularly shines when you play it with friends. Time just seems to fly by in co-op mode and of course, let's not forget about the hilarious moments when one of you messed up (intentionally or otherwise).
