Crown Trick vs Dead Town - Zombie Survival
Crown Trick
Crown Trick is a roguelike adventure RPG that’s set in the Realm of Nightmares. In this game, nightmares from this realm have spewed forth, bringing pain and suffering upon the inhabitants of the mortal realm. As the last remaining dreamwalker, albeit a novice, you, playing as a young girl called Elle, are the only one left to save the world from the never-ending nightmares, and with the help of the arrogant yet omniscient Crown, you might be able to do just that!In a roguelike context, Crown Trick is perhaps the very first to use what is a rare gameplay mechanism to further enhance its turn-based gameplay, and not every move or action will consume a turn either. There are some abilities, blinking for instance, which will allow you to move and perform an action in a single turn, but of course, you will have a limited number of blinks, and restoring them takes some strategizing, especially during boss fights, as well.
As a dungeon crawler of sorts, Crown Trick offers players a nice variety of loot, ranging from the usual weapons and consumable items, to the much more valuable relics that grant permanent passive abilities for the entire dungeon run. As mentioned before, weapons in this game have different attack ranges and grids, and this is important when considering which weapons to equip since you can only have one at any time, and which Familiar abilities (which we’ll cover in a bit), items and relics to complement the weapon you’ve chosen.
Crown Trick is truly one of the best indie roguelikes that I’ve had the pleasure of playing and reviewing. It’s not as hard as Children of Morta mainly because of its turn-based-like format but its quality is on par with the former game and that’s the highest praise I could give. So, to sum up, if you love turn-based games and roguelikes, Crown Trick is one game you mustn’t miss out on!
Dead Town - Zombie Survival
Dead Town - Zombie Survival may not look like much but it is a pretty hardcore zombie survival game that may rival that of Last Day on Earth: Survival despite having more simplistic visuals. In this game, you'll need to survive in a dead town filled with zombies. You'll need to scavenge, craft and cook a variety of items in the morning just so you can make it to the next day, and most importantly, you'll need to build a base to defend against the zombie hordes that will attack you during the night. Naturally, there will be a ton of zombies to kill and weapons to use as well.Being a pretty much endless game, you just need to survive as long as you can. If you're defeated, you have to start all over again.
Dead Town - Zombie Survival may be more of a survival game with some tower defense elements than an actual survival game like Last Day on Earth: Survival, but in terms of difficulty and depth, both games are pretty comparable. Who knows? You may end up liking this game as much as you've enjoyed Last Day on Earth!
