The Greedy Cave 2: Time Gate vs Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide
The Greedy Cave 2: Time Gate
The Greedy Cave 2: Time Gate is the highly-anticipated sequel to the roguelike dungeon crawler niche hit of the same name. The gameplay is pretty much similar to the latter - it can get rather grindy after a while. This also means turn-based combat supplemented by skills, gear that can be upgraded, and loot that you can only bring out of the dungeon if it has a grade that's gold or above.What's different about this game though is the fact that you can team up with other players and head into the dungeon together in real time! The game is also a lot more social since it has a guild feature which allows players-slash-adventurers to find reliable buddies to raid dungeons with. Although there isn't exactly a story per se in the original game, this time around, the game showcases a short yet well-described introduction which explains the presence of a so-called time gate which appeared in town one day.
The social features in The Greedy Cave 2: Time Gate is definitely a step in the right direction for the game franchise. However, the game is still in development and hence, many (other) aspects of the game aren't as nice as they should be right now. With feedback from the players and changes to the game, hopefully, this sequel will turn out to be as great as the original!
Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide
Warhammer: End Times - Vermintide lets you dive right into Ubersreik, a city that was overrun by the incredibly-mobile Skaven as one of the five heroes available. Each hero has their own background stories for you to uncover, as well as skill sets and equipment to customize and play around with. Being a team-oriented game, you can either play cooperatively with your friends or online with other players via the game’s drop-in; drop-out multiplayer. Best yet, even if the team isn’t full, the game will simply add in AI bots just so you won’t have to wait endlessly just to play the game.In short, Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide is a really entertaining dungeon crawler that did its namesake proud. The game is insanely fun and addictive, especially if you’re a huge fan of the genre, and the enemies you fight are also deviously clever, making them quite the challenge. It’ll be worth every cent you’ve spent on getting the game, that’s for sure!
