The Binding of Isaac vs Undertale
The Binding of Isaac
The Binding of Isaac is a rogue-like dungeon crawler that has a rather dark and depressing theme. In this game, you play the role of Isaac, a human boy who had to flee for his life after his mother heard the voice of God asking her to sacrifice his son to him. However, in a rather weird twist, the basement Isaac ran into turned into a waking nightmare and is filled with insane enemies, his fears and of course, his mother.Despite the rather abstract story, the gameplay is surprisingly solid. You'll find many gross items that will grant Isaac new powers and change his being, allowing him to fight off hordes of enemies and bosses of varying abilities. Interestingly, the levels you fight in are randomly generated and this gives The Binding of Isaac a kind of replayability that rivals that of other famous dungeon crawling games. Depending on your actions as Isaac, you'll also unlock different endings as well.
The Binding of Isaac is definitely a unique sort of dungeon crawler that uses the gruesome element that Diablo has so perfectly wielded to disgust you while giving you sufficient variety in terms of Isaac's abilities and the abilities of the enemy you'll be facing. If this is the sort of game for you, you might be interested to try the game out.
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.
