Realm of the Mad God vs Risk of Rain
Realm of the Mad God
Realm of the Mad God is a rather addictively fun dungeon crawler that originated as a web game on Kongregate. The game is set in the realm of a mad god called Oryx, who is intent on doing his best to swamp you with monsters and creatures so you'd die... and being a hardcore game, your death is pretty much permanent. Like most dungeon crawlers, there are a crazy load of items you can loot and equip to help your character survive a little while longer. Interestingly, each item you get in the game has its own unique, and sometimes hilarious, lore behind it.The gameplay is incredibly fun as well. The action combat mainly consists of running and gunning, though recklessness and getting yourself overwhelmed is always a lingering possibility. The boss fights in this game is very challenging too, sometimes requiring you to work cooperatively with other players in order to be victorious. Don't worry - the experience you get is shared.
Realm of the Mad God proves once again that a game simply need to be entertaining, easily accessible and visually functional to be a hit game. If you enjoy dungeon crawlers that is just all around fun, this is the game to play.
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).
