Knock on the Coffin Lid
Knock on the Coffin Lid has a lot of merit among the crowds of imitators. K.O.T.C.L. can easily hook you with its fantasy setting, random events, and character conversation. The game is designed by RedBoon Studios and looks good – you can see that a lot of attention has been focused to the exterior structure. The stocky gnomes, elves, and other inhabitants of the land are well-drawn! The project is a mixture of atmospheric roguelike with RPG elements. Excellent roguelike mechanics help create a deeper storyline. High-quality art and sound convey the atmosphere of the game.
The country is divided: the dwarves and the elves are on the brink of a large-scale war, and only the king of humans and ruler of the Northern Gate, Ingvar, can stop the senseless bloodshed with his boundless authority and influence. And somewhere in the middle of all this chaos lie the corpses of three heroes: the soldier Percival, the Lycan elf Bjorn and the archer Vanadis, former bodyguards of King Ingvar. They could have slept forever, but they were shattered by the knocking. It was a knock on the coffin lid. The story begins with a mysterious wanderer – Mortis arriving at the crypt and opening one of the four coffins. And solely out of kindness – he asks nothing in return and lets the hero go. Now the character has one task – to return home to the Northern Gate. You need to figure out what happened and what is going on. The game is filled with an interesting plot, a good story, colorful characters, mysteries, and exciting events.
RedBoon’s Roguelike is interesting in its storyline and structure. A couple of fights, a series of mistakes, and you’ll be dead. A nock on the lid, you open your eyes – it’s another resurrection. You’ve gone back in time, and your death never happened-though you saw it. In the Knock on the Coffin Lid every failed run and subsequent death is a vision, a variation of what might have happened to you. The real one is the rebirth where you reach the end and complete your task.
Don’t Starve
Some mysterious demon has cast you into a scary and uncomfortable world. Now you have to light a fire, build some clothes, and hope that no frightening eyes will approach you at night. And soon it will be winter. There’s an environment of rocks, twigs, grass, berries, and rabbits. Anything bad can be picked up and combined; anything that escapes must be caught. With these methods, the main character in a few minutes gets the first axe, and by evening in general will feel like a scout, singing songs and tossing logs into the fire.
The player always has the recipe in front of him, but there are never any clues. Where to get the ingredients – guess for yourself. Enters the real quest element: have to combine objects, solve puzzles and thoroughly explore the locations. The project builds survival mechanics, constantly generating unexpected problems and tucking non-standard tasks.
The main point of Don’t Starve is primarily in the visual style. Invite your friends, the developers created a cooperative mode, especially for you.
