Helmet Heroes vs Lumberhill
Helmet Heroes
Helmet Heroes is a free-to-play, 2D platform-based MMORPG that not only has a Maplestory feel to it, but it’s also a child-oriented game due to its cartoonish graphics. Here, you’ll get to play as one of four adventurers who set out to explore an amazingly diverse world filled with various creatures to fight and loot to collect. The game also features a satisfying progression system whereby your character development is not hampered by your chosen class, a pretty challenging gameplay, and it can be somewhat punishing if you die while carrying a ton of cash.In some way, Helmet Heroes plays a lot like a simplified version of the platformer, Maplestory, with a hint of Mario albeit minus the anime part. The game focuses a lot on exploration whereby you’ll get to discover odd regions filled with as equally odd creatures which you farm for a chance to get the item you want. Item-stealing is a pretty fun aspect of the game and it reminds me a lot of the old Runescape, but the game does give the person who dealt the most damage looting priority, at least for the first few seconds. The open-ended-styled character development, despite having you to choose a class at the beginning, may also bring Runescape to mind.
So, all said and done, if you enjoy playing 2D platformer/MMORPGs, then Helmet Heroes is a game you should check out! The game’s free after all, and it can be played by the whole family as well.
Lumberhill
Lumberhill is a fun and hectic co-op game designed to test even the strongest of friendships. In this game, you have to complete as many tasks as possible within the time limit to earn points. Getting a sufficient number of points will get you stars and there are up to 3 stars to be earned. The game starts off innocently enough, with you chopping down trees and herding sheep, but eventually more challenges present themselves and the game starts to get a whole lot more difficult. In addition to having plenty of skins to unlock, the game comes with an online co-op and a PvP mode as well.All in all, Lumberhill is a pretty good co-op game that’s fun to play with friends and family. It has its flaws and cannot measure up to the formula that made Overcooked such a success – and so far, I daresay no co-op game that I’ve reviewed managed to get even close, bar Unrailed! – but it is reasonably priced, entertaining either in solo or co-op, and is perfect to play in bursts due to its level-based design.
