Darwin Project vs Nosgoth
Darwin Project
Darwin Project is an early access, third-person battle royale game that combines the game show-theme from The Culling with the unique art style which made Fortnite Battle Royale so easily recognizable. Unlike most battle royale games where you'll have to compete against 99 other players to survive, this game only has 10 players, including yourself. However, the game spices things up with a ton of challenges, much like those featured in the Hunger Games, that are designed to push you to your limits.Not to mention, the game adds a nice tracking mechanism. Players in the game show will leave clues when they pass by an area and you can use those very clues to determine where your prey is heading to or hiding in. There are plenty of fun power-ups that you can collect, including temporary invisibility. Although you can't craft new weapons, the bow and shovel that you get can be upgraded to increase their deadliness.
Best yet, you can also play as the Director of the entire game show. As the Director, your goal is not to survive but to hype things up enough for the crowd to go wild. You are managing an exciting game show, after all. With feedback from the audience, you can decide which zones to drop a nuke on or which zone to freeze over, or even when to drop a "care package" for the participants to fight over.
Darwin Project manages to breathe new life into the slowly-stagnating battle royale genre. It is definitely a fun, thrilling and unique competitive MMO - one that fans of battle royale would just love to play.
Nosgoth
Nosgoth is an exciting and fun MMO action/TPS game that pits the vampires against the humans in an all-out bloodbath. Gameplay-wise, Nosgoth offers a huge variety of play styles that you can experiment with by trying out the different classes and the perfect loadout (the abilities). There are also a range of game modes that you can try out in the game. In terms of storyline though, the game deviates quite a lot from the original lore in Legacy of Kain, and thus, it may disappoint fans of the original single player games. If you love games like WolfTeam (scaling walls and using claws to attack) or Left 4 Dead (switching sides after a round is done), Nosgoth is a great and unique free-to-play game that you'll enjoy.Unfortunately, the game has been shut down since the end of September last year, but thankfully, we've got a whole list of similar games for you to check out!
