Don't Die, Minerva! vs Zenonia 4
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.
Zenonia 4
Zenonia 4 is an anime, action RPG that will cast you into the role of Regret, a young lad who by some trick of time was approached by his future self and asked to step up and defeat the forces of evil that are amassing their strength. Despite the cliche storyline which was rather shoddily localized into English though, the gameplay is surprisingly enjoyable and is rather similar to the earlier versions of Legend of Zelda. You'll be hacking and slashing your way through throngs of monsters, unleashing powerful skill attacks left and right. The skills you have access to will also vary depending on the class you choose, be it Blader, Ranger, Druid or Slayer.Although Zenonia 4 is among some of the older mobile games of the series, the game is still as entertaining as its later games, like Zenonia 5 or Zenonia S. But a fair bit of warning, if you're playing the game for its story, there are plenty more games out there that can offer you something better.
