Rise of the Triad vs Terraria
Rise of the Triad
Rise of the Triad was one of the best cult-classic of its era and now, the younger generation (along with the old) will get to enjoy this timeless first-person shooter game once again in this brilliant improved yet stoically-original version. In this game, you'll get to step into the shoes of the High-Risk United Nations Taskforce (or H.U.N.T. for short) as you blast your way through levels of non-stop, gory-filled action, gunning down enemies left and right as they come at you. Each level is also filled with secret niches and collectibles for you to find, and of course, who can forget the game's iconic original soundtrack... which has been reworked with elements of heavy metal to make it even more intense than before.With better graphics and an overall improved experience well-suited for the modern gamer, Rise of the Triad will be able to attract new players into its fold with its intriguing storyline and fun gameplay, while retaining enough of the original to give older players a nostalgic journey as they replayed one of their favorite games back in the day.
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!
