Gauntlet vs The Greedy Cave 2: Time Gate
Gauntlet
Gauntlet is a 4-player cooperative (both online and on splitscreen mode) dungeon crawler that guarantees hours of dungeon crawling action for you and your friends. Since each level is randomly generated, you'll never encounter the same level twice! Not to mention, Gauntlet has a gameplay that feels a lot like Diablo 3, where you can battle hordes of enemies for shiny loot, rare Relics, which you can then use to unlock new abilities, and of course, glory. You can even play as one of four archetype characters namely Warrior, Elf, Wizard and the most unique character, Valkyrie.Overall, Gauntlet is a dungeon crawler that is incredibly fun to play with friends despite its apparent lack of a storyline. Every element of the game just seemed to come together so well after all. So, if you're a fan os dungeon crawlers and have some friends with the same interests, well, this game may just be the game you all need.
The Greedy Cave 2: Time Gate
The Greedy Cave 2: Time Gate is the highly-anticipated sequel to the roguelike dungeon crawler niche hit of the same name. The gameplay is pretty much similar to the latter - it can get rather grindy after a while. This also means turn-based combat supplemented by skills, gear that can be upgraded, and loot that you can only bring out of the dungeon if it has a grade that's gold or above.What's different about this game though is the fact that you can team up with other players and head into the dungeon together in real time! The game is also a lot more social since it has a guild feature which allows players-slash-adventurers to find reliable buddies to raid dungeons with. Although there isn't exactly a story per se in the original game, this time around, the game showcases a short yet well-described introduction which explains the presence of a so-called time gate which appeared in town one day.
The social features in The Greedy Cave 2: Time Gate is definitely a step in the right direction for the game franchise. However, the game is still in development and hence, many (other) aspects of the game aren't as nice as they should be right now. With feedback from the players and changes to the game, hopefully, this sequel will turn out to be as great as the original!
