Don't Die, Minerva! vs Infinity Blade III
Don't Die, Minerva!
Don't Die, Minerva! is a Halloween-themed, arcade shooter-like, rogue-lite where you play as 11-year-old Minerva who was trapped in a haunted mansion and is desperate to find a way out. Kite enemies around, dodge colorful projectiles, and deploy your trusty stuffed animal-slash-turret whenever possible just so you can make it to the next elevator in one piece!The game looks and feels like a roguelite that’s aimed towards midcore/casual gamers as well as children who enjoy challenging games, due to its easy-to-grasp gameplay and also its child-friendly visuals (no blood or gore). The protagonist herself is also a child, so there’s that. However, the game doesn’t seem to offer much once you’ve grinded and unlocked all your skills, and because of this, its full price is definitely a bit on the higher end.
Still, if you love playing rogue-lites and would like to buy a game that both you and your child can enjoy, Don’t Die, Minerva is a really great choice. It’s just that you might want to wait for a discount before you buy the game.
Infinity Blade III
Infinity Blade III is the latest installment of the popular Infinity Blade series where you’ll join Siris, and his companions, Isa and the God-King Raidriar as they face the Worker of Secrets and his army of Deathless titans. Instead of playing as Siris, which you still can by the way, the game allows you to play as the stealthy female warrior-thief, Isa, as well. Each character will have access to uniquely different weapons and items, providing players with a replayability that’s not present in any of the previous games.The gameplay is still as amazing as usual, though the game world has seen a huge update, giving players a more stunning and immersive land to explore. You’ll also be able to set up a base of operations, called the Hideout, where you can recruit allies who happened to be skilled artisans who help you improve your combat capabilities and unlock new skills. The global ClashMob challenges are still present in this game, but like Infinity Blade II, these challenges are entirely optional.
Infinity Blade III is an impressive addition to the Infinity Blade series and is well-worth the money especially if you already got the first two games.
