Digfender vs Factorio
Digfender
Digfender is a fun and challenging tower-defense game that, unlike many other games, is set underground. In this game, your ultimate goal is to protect your castle while digging a way down towards a cavern (possibly containing treasure). However, as you dig, creatures that have slumbered in the frozen ground will be awakened and they aren't happy with the rude awakening.In terms of gameplay, this game is intriguing to say the least, because you not only get to dig the path in which your enemies will be using; you will also need to be strategic in the placements of your towers. Towers come in many different ranges and damage capacities, allowing you to mix and match them until you find the perfect combination. Of course, each tower can be further upgraded and augmented, via support towers, giving them high damage, longer range or even faster XP gain so you can level them up.
The different types of enemies, along with their unique set of strengths and weaknesses, also provide you with some extra challenge. What's most interesting, however, is the fact that you can replay a level to collect a special token called a Relic. Relic tokens can then be spent in the special upgrade tree in the game.
All in all, Digfender is a fantastic tower-defense game that is as fun as it is strategic. If you're a huge fan of tower defense games, this is a game you'll want to try!
Factorio
Factorio is a simulation game where you build, expand and maintain a series of factories. The game will require you to take control of the entire production line from obtaining resources you need right up to packaging the final product while constantly upgrading and modifying every aspect of your factories to improve their productivity. As your enterprise grows, you'll eventually unlock a plethora of technologically advanced machineries, tools and hires that are basically a lot better than what you currently have.That's not all, apparently the world you'll be setting up your factories in isn't very "factory-friendly". Expect to have to deal with frequent attacks by the local inhabitants. You might want to set up turrets, walls, and other defensive structures to protect your machines from damage that will, god forbid, disrupt your production line.
Interestingly, the game has a cooperative multiplayer game mode where you can work with your friends to create a massive factories-filled world. The game may sound like an endless freeplay sort, but there are some fun challenges for you to complete as well as a Map Editor for you to create new maps to play in.
Factorio is the sort of game that will appeal to players who like managing stuff, namely fans of tycoon-like games. It also has a nice little tower defense-like element to it that spice things up a bit, along with other events that will put your problem-solving skills to the test.
