Mini DayZ vs Shelter 2
Mini DayZ
Mini DayZ is a brilliant survival game in which you have to outlast the zombie apocalypse as well as anything hostile that might just kill you. The game includes an open world map full of resources and zombies on the move. You can and should harvest resources, grow plants, build a base and craft a wide variety of new tools, weapons and items that will help you survive the next couple of days. There are plenty of AI survivors you can meet as well, some of whom are friendly while others are hostile. If you play the game on its multiplayer mode, you may even encounter other players too.The absolute best thing about this game is that Mini Dayz is completely, 100% free-to-play. There are no in-app purchases whatsoever! So, if you do find yourself being beaten to death by another player with a baseball bat, you'll have no one else but yourself to blame.
With exciting crafting options and a harcore gameplay where your survival needs come first and foremost, the game is a brilliant addition to the survival game genre, especially considering there aren't many great ones on the mobile platform. It is a pretty good alternative to Last Day on Earth to be honest, so if you're a fan of the latter, you might want to check this out.
Shelter 2
Shelter 2 is a simulation/RPG where you play as a lynx, an animal that lives out on the cold tundra and is somewhere in the middle of the food chain. In this game, you start as a pregnant lynx who's looking for a safe space to give birth and rear your cubs. You'll get to experience parenthood from the perspective of an animal and the experience can be pretty immersive thanks to the many maternal and hunting features available, including calling the cubs to move closer to you and smelling the air for any prey nearby. The game is a lot richer in terms of its diversity than the original game as well, and you'll get access to a lot more movements and jumps, giving you the range of movements you'd come to expect for a graceful animal like the lynx.Although the graphics here may be an acquired taste, Shelter 2 is still a masterpiece of a game and is definitely the sort of game you'll want to play if you love playing animal games where you're placed in the paws of said animal.
