Hades vs The Greedy Cave
Hades
Hades is an action-packed roguelike RPG by Supergiant Games, creators of the highly-acclaimed Transistor and Bastion. You’ll play as Zagreus, son of the God of the Underworld, Hades, and Persephone, daughter of Demeter. The game covers the journey of the young Prince of the Underworld to leave his home, but to be free of his father’s clutches, he needs to go and battle Hades’ many minions across the vast expanse of his realm.Each escape attempt will be riddled with battles against the likes of Megaera, Perseus and Asterius, and even Hades himself. Though the challenge will be massive, you’ll get stronger with each attempt, strengthening the Infernal Arms like the Stygian Blade, Varatha, and Aegis and unlocking more as you progress. Thankfully, you won’t be alone in this battle, since the Olympians will grant you boons that will aid you in battle. For example, Zeus will add lighting to your attacks, Aphrodite will make your attacks render the Curse and Weak status, while Athena’s boon will deflect enemy attacks.
Apart from the action-packed battles with mobs and bosses, you’ll also deal with various challenges from Thanatos, the Olympians you’ve scorned, and Chaos himself. You’ll be treated to an outstanding art style, an epic cast of fully-voiced characters, and high-octane combat. The game is widely considered a masterpiece and has won several awards. So yes, we recommend giving it a shot. If you’re not convinced, well, please note that you can pet Cerberus.
The Greedy Cave
The Greedy Cave , known also as Rogue’s Light, is a dark yet fun, roguelike dungeon crawler that managed to nail both the gloomy mood as well as the aesthetics which are among the main factors that had made Don’t Starve such a popular hit. The game puts you in the shoes of an aspiring treasure hunter who would brave any danger within the dungeon in hopes of getting the coveted legendary treasure.This game has seriously impressed us mainly because it has successfully merged the gloomy charm of Don’t Starve with a challenging yet somewhat idle-like dungeon crawler gameplay. Aside from having a robust progression system for both the character and the equipment he uses, the game rewards caution and yet encourages exploration as well. The developers also did a great job of balancing its freemium policy so that free-to-play players can actually do pretty well in the game without feeling like they are forced to pay in order to fully enjoy the game.
So, to sum up, The Greedy Cave is possibly one of the most innovative, though grindy… like most games in the same genre are and somewhat underrated, dungeon crawlers. It is a must-play in our books, especially if you happen to be a huge fan of dungeon crawlers.
