Dead Space vs Kingdom of the Dead
Dead Space
Dead Space may not supposed to be much of a horror game at first (it was touted as a thriller mainly), but it certainly ended up that way. Featuring a third-person shooter gameplay, the game casts you in the role of Isaac Clarke, an engineer in a massive spaceship stranded in space that's falling apart at the seams. That's not all, the ship is filled with hideous Necromorph monsters - alien-infected crew members - that just love to jump out at you at the most unconvenient moments, startling you at every chance it gets from seemingly every vent, collapsed ceiling, cracked floor etc... well, literally the full 360-degrees. The game can be a tad bit linear but that is exactly what enabled the developers to control almost every aspect of the game from start to finish even with you in it, giving you scares that will make you jump in your seat... and sometimes out of it.Dead Space made its name as one of the most thrilling shooter game that guarantees to slowly but surely drag you into its incredibly immerse and terrifying world. If you love a game that has both action and a generous dose of scariness, Dead Space is the game you'll want to play.
Kingdom of the Dead
Kingdom of the Dead is an action-packed, first-person shooter inspired by the timeless and iconic game, Doom, that puts you in the shoes of Agent Chamberlain, a professor-turned-Army General of a secret government program known only as “Gatekeeper”. Your goal? To foil Death’s evil plans to take over the world by closing all the Gates of Death and defeating all his minions, both big and small.Now, Kingdom of the Dead may be inspired by Doom but it offers a different kind of experience. This doesn’t mean that the game’s bad – in fact, the game’s pretty fun to play as long as you aren’t trying to compare it with other renowned faster-paced shooters and enjoy the game as it is. Price-wise, the game’s a pretty good deal for the amount of content it offers.
However, there are some issues that the game really needs to work out, such as the weapons balancing issue and players or enemies getting stuck to objects or the environment that the developers should really patch up as soon as they can.
