Metallic Child vs Undertale
Metallic Child
Metallic Child is a sci-fi-themed roguelike action RPG that’s set onboard the space laboratory known as Life Stream. In this game, you play as a human controlling Rona, the very first metallic child created by Dr Irene who’s on a mission to figure out why her creator caused a rebellion and took control of both the other metallic children she has created and also the space lab that housed all of them. Can you defeat all the other metallic children and perhaps convince the good doctor to see the error of her ways?All in all, Metallic Child is a well-made and designed action roguelite with fun hack and slash gameplay, an engaging story, gorgeous anime graphics, and a difficulty level that you can adjust to your own skill level and needs. Don’t let the game’s high-ish price tag put you off! You’ll definitely find a lot of value in this game, especially if you’re already a fan of roguelites and anime. That said, although the game can be played on the good ol’ keyboard and mouse, it’s actually designed for controllers and would play even better if you use them.
Undertale
Undertale is a rather unique RPG mainly because unlike most RPG which "encourages and promotes" violence, this game strives to be different; to be better by allowing you to use whatever persuasive skills you have to negotiate out of danger. Considering that the game is set in an underground world full of monsters, this is something you'll need to pretty often, but of course, if you want to do some killing, you can still do so. As it's not exactly the focus point of the game, the combat system is fairly simple and yet decent. It mainly revolves around accurately timing your attacks and dodges.Undertale also boasts of having an immersive storyline and a host of characters which you can either slay (you murderer!) or make friends with. Heck, according to the game, you can even date a skeleton... an all-bones, no-flesh skeleton!
Undertale definitely gives its players a really nice and unique perspective on the RPG genre. The game's alternative, non-violent paths also make you really think before you start hacking and slashing at the supposedly enemy, making every kill that you think is necessary carries a certain weight. Sounds like a game you'd like to try? Then, you definitely should check it out.
