Flame in the Flood vs Grim Soul
Flame in the Flood
Flame in the Flood is a rather unique survival game that's developed by the ex-developers of Bioshock. Instead of featuring an open world, the game places you on a rickety raft, which you can then upgrade as you gather the necessary materials, that's being dragged down a long windy river. The waters aren't always smooth and easily navigatable as you might expect and from time to time, particularly in between "zones", you'll encounter a stretch of whitewater rapids that will truly challenge your rafting skills.In this game, you will also encounter locations where you can dock your raft at and explore. From churches to farms, each location offers varying amount of resources for you to gather, and if you're lucky, a place for you to take shelter for the night. These locations aren't all safe though! Aside from the more harmless wildlife like rabbits, you may encounter dangerous animals that can cause severe harm to your character - you may even die either from being gored by a wild boar or from injuries sustained from the fight.
As a survival game, there are several indicators that you'll need to keep your eyes on. Fail to do so and you may die of exhaustion, thirst, hunger or hypothermia. The game also features a pretty in-depth crafting system where you can produce useful items like bandages for your wounds and clothes to keep your character warm.
Flame in the Flood is a truly hardcore survival game. It's merciless in its gameplay, pitting you against challenges after challenges until your character can take no more. If you get frustrated easily, this is definitely not for you, but if you love a challenge, you might just want to give this game a try.
Grim Soul
Grim Soul is a fantasy-based, survival RPG by Kefir! which pretty much follows the similar formula they've used in their insanely popular game, Last Day on Earth: Survival albeit with a more medieval theme.In this game, you'll get to build your own castle and defend against the plagued zombie knights and lost souls. Players can explore new castles for resources crucial for survival. These resources can be used to craft invaluable items that include workbenches, medieval weapons, and strong armory to defend against the wandering souls. You also get to manage your own castle by defending it through indigenous traps and strong defense systems. Moreover, the game includes war horses to ride, dangerous animals to hunt and resources to acquire in an open world environment. Players can also form clans to help survive a bit longer in the wild.
If you have a knack for survival games, Grim Soul is definitely one of the best MMORPGs out there with unique crafting features.
