Aground vs Jurassic Survival
Aground
Aground is a 2D, side-scrolling, survival-themed adventure game where you'll be digging out the bowels of the earth for precious ores to turn into tools, weapons, and armor or to sell to gain coins. Similar to games like Kingdom: Classic or its sequel, Kingdom: New Lands, the game will have you venture out to explore new islands to discover more about the story behind the land, to meet new characters and to obtain better resources to craft superior items.The storyline in this game is pretty intriguing as well. It features a Bermuda Triangle-like area where people often get shipwrecked and are washed up to one of the shores of the small archipelago. The islands are filled with weird creatures and is rich with minerals and resources. As survivors starting from scratch, they do not have access to the technologies they used to enjoy that is until apparently a mysterious tribe, called the Mirrows, helped to set stuff up.
Aground offers players the sort of freedom that Minecraft is able to provide and yet, is not fully a sandbox game nor does it have a procedurally generated map. Of course, this game has a great storyline, along with quests to help drive those plot points forward, and that alone makes it a really fun game to play.
Jurassic Survival
Jurassic Survival is a free-to-play prehistoric-themed survival MMO game where you can not only hunt dinosaurs, from the most ferocious meat-eaters to the gargantuan plant-eaters, but also other players who encroached on your land. The game is basically a copy-and-paste version of the popular zombie survival game, Last Day on Earth - Survival. This means that you'll get to design and build your own base, set up defenses, and head out to scour the wilderness for resources to hoard as well as to use for crafting. There are also clans that you can join just so you can have enough firepower to take down tougher dinosaurs.Interestingly though, the game is not set in prehistoris times despite having a prehistoric/ dinosaur theme. In this game, there are plenty of weapons, including more modern ones like guns, as well as armor that you'll need to use on your dino hunts just so you can survive the encounter. Similar to the many different types of zombies in Last Day on Earth, there are plenty of dinosaur types in this game too. Knowing their behavior will help tremendously when you want to take them on.
However, the game has its fair share of inconveniences, which avid fans of Last Day on Earth would be able to emphatize with, such as the lack of energy or the long duration needed to travel from one place to another without speeding it up with energy. That said, Jurassic Survival is perhaps the only and best alternative to the game, Last Day on Earth, currently available on Google Play.
