Pet's Island vs Torchlight
Pet's Island
Pet's Island is a casual PvP/ island-building game that's very similar to games like Coin Master and Pirate Kings where all you need to do is to press a button to spin the wheel. The wheel will then decide on which action you can take, be it attacking another fellow player's island or stealing their gold.There are also tons of differently themed islands for you to build and collect. This game is very social as well since it encourages you to add as many friends as you can, just so you can get a lot more spins. However, unlike other games in this genre, Pet's Island require you to focus on developing your pets, much like in Pokemon, just so they could help you defend your island from unwanted invaders.
So, if you enjoy those "spin the wheel"-type games, you migth want to check this game out. The characters in this game are absolutely adorable and the gameplay is familiar yet innovative enough to keep you engaged for hours on end.
Torchlight
Torchlight is a fun dungeon crawling game that features an epic storyline, thrilling action and a loyal pet companion, which you can customize, to boot! Assemble a team of three heroes and descend into the monsters-filled caverns below the town in search of the valuable and rare ore, Ember, as well as plenty of riches and glory. You can even take a breather in between all the monster slaying to head off to a fishing pool and go fishing. The fishes you get are surprisingly powerful though - they can be fed to your loyal companion and turn it into powerful battle allies rather than just being a pack mule.Like most dungeon crawlers, randomization is key to the gameplay, giving players a fresh new experience everytime they replay the game, but of course, mod support also gives the game an even longer lifespan. To faciliate this replayability, the game even has a retirement system in place which allow you to pass down prized equipment to your new heroes as you "retire" the old one.
Torchlight may not have enjoyed a following that's large as Diablo, but the game has its own group of loyal fans and hardcore players who still play the game. The game itself feels so much more lighthearted than the dark demonic tones of the latter and is perfect for players who enjoy dungeon crawlers but dislike being scared silly by grotesque creatures of hell.
