Overlord: Fellowship of Evil vs Risk of Rain
Overlord: Fellowship of Evil
Overlord: Fellowship of Evil lets you experience a warped and twisted, dark fantasy world in an action RPG that rewards the bad and venerates the evil. Featuring four brand-new Netherghuls, resurrected servants of the dark arts; a horde of maniacal minions as well as the horde's master, Gnarl, you'll have more ways than ever to cause mischievous humor, decimate or subjugate the population or simply perpetuate chaos and mayhem. You can develop your minions so they can withstand any resistance more easily. Best yet, you can even play the game cooperatively with up three friends locally or online.Overlord: Fellowship of Evil is the sort of rare game that simply give you the tools to cause total and utter mayhem and leave you to decide how to go about instilling terror into the AI populace. It's definitely a fun game to play when you need to blow off some steam, but bear in mind that this game is in no way the third installment of the popular Overlord franchise. Think of it as a more casual spin-off.
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).
