Don't Starve Together vs Monster Harvest
Don't Starve Together
Don't Starve Together is the multiplayer version of hit indie survival game, Don't Starve. However, as opposed to taking the short way out and simply turn the game intoa multiplayer, the developers have added a ton of improved mechanics and features which makes playing with friends or even random strangers online a whole lot more entertaining in this game. Of course, everything that was previously present in the previous game will still be retained here, so expect to see lumbering tree ents, werepigs and more... and naturally, to die a lot because that's the learning curve in this game.Don't Starve Together is the long-awaited multiplayer expansion for players who love surviving with friends. Enjoy hilarious moments of discovery and deaths together and whatever you do... don't starve!
Monster Harvest
Monster Harvest is a very promising game that features a refreshing blend of monster-collecting and farming simulation. In this game, you grow various “pocket monsters” called Planimals at your farm and bring them to the local rec center to test your mettle or the dungeon to gather special materials. You'll get to develop both your farm and your skills as a Planimal trainer.If you love farming sims and collecting Pokemon - or any other types of pocket monsters really, then Monster Harvest is the game for you! The game features the very interesting premise of turning your crops into battle pets, and how you “slime” them will result in different kinds of pets with varying power. There’s even a roguelite dungeon and a gym for you to test your mettle at and, in the case of the dungeon, gather special resources for upgrades.
The sad thing is Monster Harvest is woefully early access and a work-in-progress. The game still has some pretty massive bugs and pending content (such as the empty-feeling “festival”), though none of them are completely game-breaking. In the worst case, you’ll just have to restart the game, though some players have reported corrupted saved games where all their planimals stored in the pen went missing.
Due to this, I’d not recommend getting the game right now. If you’re really interested, try the free demo and wishlist the game to keep an eye on it. Once the bugs are squashed to a more manageable level and some more features and content are added, then you might want to splurge and grab the game.
