Rigid Force Alpha vs Terraria
Rigid Force Alpha
Rigid Force Alpha is a 3D side-scrolling arcade shooter (shoot 'em up) where you assume command of one of the most advanced technologies the United Planet Freedom Forces (UPFF) has ever had. Featuring tons of exciting enemies and challenging bosses, this game provides you with many fun ways to blast various colored projectiles be it amplifying your attack power and allowing you to shoot at the enemies behind you using Force Shards or unleashing your charged attack after collecting sufficient energy orbs from fallen enemies. You can even use Bullet Blade to protect your ship from a hail of projectiles, as long as you have the energy to spare.In addition to an intriguing, albeit generic, storyline where UPFF's top-secret research facilities are sending out distress signals, Rigid Force Alpha also has two other game modes which will be unlocked as you progress in the main mission and a nice range of difficulty levels.
Offering an exhilarating and pretty intense gameplay, Rigid Force Alpha is an arcade shooter that will keep you at the edge of your seat! This game may be underrated but it is a worthwhile purchase, especially if you're a huge fan of arcade games.
Terraria
Terraria is one of the biggest breakout indie game of 2011 and, like Minecraft, is still incredibly popular until today. However, despite the many similarities between Terraria and Minecraft which is mainly because they are both sandbox games, Terraria is a definitely much more fleshed out version of Minecraft without all the 3D voxels but with 2D pixels instead. The great thing about Terraria though is that it has more of everything that Minecraft has - more recipes, more enemies, more pets, more bosses... well, like we said, more everything. The depth in Terraria is simply astounding!Combat also feels action-packed in spite of being 2D and interestingly, the game provides an immersive storyline that you can follow... again, unlike in Minecraft where you literally have to create your own story if you want all of that. The game is cross-platform game and supports multiplayer as well.
In short though, we'd say that Terraria is more suited to adventure-based RPG gameplay rather than Minecraft but unfortunately, not everyone likes its 2D looks. So, if you're a fan of Minecraft and you don't really mind 2D games, you should definitely check out Terraria. You'll be blown away by the overwhelming size of the content!
