Fortnite vs How to Survive: Storm Warning Edition
Fortnite
Fortnite is a unique tower-defense-like co-op game where players will be given a limited amount of time to make a coordinated effort to gather resources like metal, brick, wood and nuts and bolts, from their surroundings, build a base to defend from, and set up traps to protect said base. Oh and don't forget to upgrade the base whenever's possible and make sure to reinforce your passive defenses before the next wave of enemies arrives!Set in a world where most of humanity was somehow turned by a freak and mystical storm into mindless creatures called Husks, this game will have you fight for the last of humanity while playing as the world's last remaining heroes. You'll get to choose from one of four classes, namely the Outlander, Soldier, Constructor, and Ninja, each of which has their own unique roles to play in the team.
Fortnite may have lost some of its shine in the limelight due to the immense success of its battle royale add-on game mode, Fortnite Battle Royale, but this doesn't at all diminish the exciting multiplayer gameplay it has to offer. This is definitely a game to watch... and to play once it's officially released - hopefully as a free-to-play.
If you would like to jump into the game a bit earlier than the masses, you can purchase the early access bundle which will not only get you access to the game, but also some nice little, and exclusive, extras.
How to Survive: Storm Warning Edition
How to Survive: Storm Warning Edition is a zombie-survival RPG that is quite the underappreciated gem among other games of the same genre. Featuring a rare (at least within the genre) isometric-like view of the world much like in Diablo, this game will have you rummaging through anything that may hide vital resources you'll need, ranging from food and water to a variety of crafting materials, in order to survive. You'll need to build a shelter for yourself as well just to have a safe and protected space free of both zombies and other natural threats.However, unlike most survival games, How to Survive features a hack-and-slash, twin-stick shooter-styled gameplay, which frankly explains why they opted for an isometric view rather than the more immersive first- or third-person perspective. The game even contains a skill tree for you to invest points in, and insanely in-depth crafting system, and an overall most satisfying game experience.
If you love the graphical and gameplay style of Last Day on Earth: Survival and yet are looking for a PC game equivalent that doesn't have any IAPs, How to Survive is definitely a game you'll want to check out. It is miles better than what any free-to-play survival game can be!
