Dead Island Riptide vs Last Day on Earth: Survival
Dead Island Riptide
Dead Island Riptide is a blend between a sequel and a spin-off from the original Dead island game, mainly because it is still set in the Banoi archipelago and yet the open world island you'll be trying to escape from this time around is called Palanai. The story continues from where the first game left off as well where your escape was thwarted and you are thrown back into the whole zombie fiasco. The gameplay is still pretty much the same - there will be lots of head-smashing or lopping depending on the weapon you use and you can do all of that cooperatively with up to four of your friends.With a lineup of new zombies and survivors, a selection of new deadly weapons, and a new playable character, Dead Island Riptide is a game that offers its fans more of the same with a bit of tweaks and additions on the side. If you love the original Dead Island, you'll love this game as well.
Last Day on Earth: Survival
Last Day on Earth: Survival is one of the best zombie-themed survival MMO games to have hit the mobile platform and it is not at all surprising to see how well the game is doing on both GooglePlay and the Appstore. In this game, you'll be spending most of your time harvesting resources just so you can build and reinforce your shelter on a separate, instanced land that can be attacked by other players and zombie hordes alike. So, there isn't exactly a point in hoarding resources when your shelter's defenses are weak enough for other players to simply relieve you of your hard work.There are plenty of locations for you to explore and even zombie-infested, dungeon-like military bunkers to find better goods like guns, ammo, weapon parts and other items; an in-depth crafting system which has long crafting duration - the game is free-to-play after all; as well as a ruthless open world PvP where personal survival is of utmost importance. Of course, you will also need to keep your character well-fed and hydrated or he will die and whatever he's carrying will be up for grabs for any lucky passer-bys.
Last Day on Earth: Survival may be an excellent game, but it still have some flaws. For instance, it'd be nice to have a better tutorial to ease new players into the game and perhaps a PvP cap to prevent higher level players from bullying lower level ones. That said, the game is as close to a fun and hardcore survival game that you can play on the go. So, if you're interested, make sure to check the game out.
