Spelunky vs Undertale
Spelunky
Spelunky , developed by indie company Mossmouth Games, is a fun arcade puzzle platformer that puts you in the shoes of an adorable explorer with a bright red nose. In this game, you'll be running through plenty of platform-based mazes where you will not only need to collect as many treasures as you can, but also to defeat any enemies that stand in your way. The mazes are also puzzly in nature since you'll need to circumvent obstacles as well as figure out a way to maximize your profits and collect all the gold you can carry. There is even a damsel in distress that you can choose to rescue or kill, and a shop that you can buy useful tools at or steal from.With randomized levels, Spelunky is a pretty hardcore platformer that contains a wide variety of ways in which your character can die... some of which can be gruesome while others, hilarious! The game combines lighthearted fun with challenging puzzles in a very unique way and this will definitely appeal to fans of platform games like Mario.
Undertale
Undertale is a rather unique RPG mainly because unlike most RPG which "encourages and promotes" violence, this game strives to be different; to be better by allowing you to use whatever persuasive skills you have to negotiate out of danger. Considering that the game is set in an underground world full of monsters, this is something you'll need to pretty often, but of course, if you want to do some killing, you can still do so. As it's not exactly the focus point of the game, the combat system is fairly simple and yet decent. It mainly revolves around accurately timing your attacks and dodges.Undertale also boasts of having an immersive storyline and a host of characters which you can either slay (you murderer!) or make friends with. Heck, according to the game, you can even date a skeleton... an all-bones, no-flesh skeleton!
Undertale definitely gives its players a really nice and unique perspective on the RPG genre. The game's alternative, non-violent paths also make you really think before you start hacking and slashing at the supposedly enemy, making every kill that you think is necessary carries a certain weight. Sounds like a game you'd like to try? Then, you definitely should check it out.
