60 Seconds! vs Flame in the Flood
60 Seconds!
60 Seconds! is a game that offers a fun satirical take on the far-too-unrealistic post-apocalypse survival management genre by making it as hilarious as possible. In this game, you will play as Ted, an average suburban family guy who has just a single minute to dash through his home to pick up as much stuff as he can, including his family members, before diving into the underground bunker he has built in his house. From there, you'll then need to help him and his family survive the day-to-day by making difficult decisions like who to send out to scavenge food, and who should get the most rations. Of course, there's the mutant cockroach infestation that you'll have to deal with...If you love dark comedy and post-apocalyptic games, 60 Seconds! is definitely a game you'll want to play. It's as funny as it is challenging.
Flame in the Flood
Flame in the Flood is a rather unique survival game that's developed by the ex-developers of Bioshock. Instead of featuring an open world, the game places you on a rickety raft, which you can then upgrade as you gather the necessary materials, that's being dragged down a long windy river. The waters aren't always smooth and easily navigatable as you might expect and from time to time, particularly in between "zones", you'll encounter a stretch of whitewater rapids that will truly challenge your rafting skills.In this game, you will also encounter locations where you can dock your raft at and explore. From churches to farms, each location offers varying amount of resources for you to gather, and if you're lucky, a place for you to take shelter for the night. These locations aren't all safe though! Aside from the more harmless wildlife like rabbits, you may encounter dangerous animals that can cause severe harm to your character - you may even die either from being gored by a wild boar or from injuries sustained from the fight.
As a survival game, there are several indicators that you'll need to keep your eyes on. Fail to do so and you may die of exhaustion, thirst, hunger or hypothermia. The game also features a pretty in-depth crafting system where you can produce useful items like bandages for your wounds and clothes to keep your character warm.
Flame in the Flood is a truly hardcore survival game. It's merciless in its gameplay, pitting you against challenges after challenges until your character can take no more. If you get frustrated easily, this is definitely not for you, but if you love a challenge, you might just want to give this game a try.
