Shooting Sky vs The Binding of Isaac
Shooting Sky
Shooting Sky is possibly the first of its kind - a completely-3D, space arcade shooter! The game doesn't really feature any storyline per se, but you'll get to pilot a rather cool spacecraft and shoot pretty lasers at things, be it space monsters, asteroids or anything that floats in your way, really. Naturally, you'll also be able to upgrade your spacecraft to enhance its monster-killing potential.Due to its 3D looks, it might be a bit harder to get used to at first, but once you get over all of that, you'll truly appreciate how different the game feels. Boss battles just feel a whole lot more intense and the bullet-storm you unleash feels just so satisfying. Not to mention, the game allows competitive play as well, so get ready to challenge your friends to beat your highest score.
Previously known as Astro Blitz Wings, Shooting Sky dares to innovate a classic genre and I'd say that its leap of faith paid off pretty well. The game is as fun as its trailer made it out to be, and it is able to give you a whole new perspective on the space arcade shooter genre. It doesn't get any better than that!
The Binding of Isaac
The Binding of Isaac is a rogue-like dungeon crawler that has a rather dark and depressing theme. In this game, you play the role of Isaac, a human boy who had to flee for his life after his mother heard the voice of God asking her to sacrifice his son to him. However, in a rather weird twist, the basement Isaac ran into turned into a waking nightmare and is filled with insane enemies, his fears and of course, his mother.Despite the rather abstract story, the gameplay is surprisingly solid. You'll find many gross items that will grant Isaac new powers and change his being, allowing him to fight off hordes of enemies and bosses of varying abilities. Interestingly, the levels you fight in are randomly generated and this gives The Binding of Isaac a kind of replayability that rivals that of other famous dungeon crawling games. Depending on your actions as Isaac, you'll also unlock different endings as well.
The Binding of Isaac is definitely a unique sort of dungeon crawler that uses the gruesome element that Diablo has so perfectly wielded to disgust you while giving you sufficient variety in terms of Isaac's abilities and the abilities of the enemy you'll be facing. If this is the sort of game for you, you might be interested to try the game out.
