The Greedy Cave vs They Are Billions
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.
They Are Billions
They Are Billions is a hardcore, steampunk-themed empire-building/ real-time strategy game that is set in a dark and gloomy post-apocalyptic world (Not Earth). The game plays out like an actual RTS whereby you need to not only develop your castle into a sprawling empire, but also manage your empire's resources and defenses, and making sure that none of the billions of zombies out there are able to infiltrate your defenses... or things can easily escalate from having a single zombie to deal with to an entire horde.This indie game made waves in the gaming industry mainly because of its unique zombie system. As you all "The Walking Dead" fans should know, whenever a zombie attacks and kills a human, the plague that's around will reanimate the fallen corpse and turn it into a new zombie. This system is implemented in this game, making even a single zombie that had made it past your defenses a very costly mistake. That's not taking into account the periodic zombie invasions which usually consist of a massive swarm of zombies, some of which are tougher to kill than most, that sub-par defenses won't be able to handle.
They Are Billions is definitely not the sort of strategy game to play if you simply don't have the time or the patience to figure out the best strategy to protect your population from the many infected out there. However, if you're the sort who is always up for a challenge, you might find this game a rare delicious treat!
