36) Warhammer: End Times – Vermintide

Vermintide Cinematic Trailer

Vermintide takes the world of Warhammer on a dark, brutal ride, filled with blood, gore, brutality and fear. 

The world of Vermintide is a Dark Fantasy first-person experience set in a medieval/steampunk themed environment. The game is multiplayer only, which obviously makes it great to play with friends. 

The player is allowed to play as five different heroes, each their own class. This encourages teamwork and each player can play a critical role when being swarmed by enemies. The characters are a Witch Hunter, Empire Soldier, Dwarf Ranger, Waywatcher, and Bright Wizard. Some are proficient in melee combat, some are ranged and some can even cast devastating magical spells.

You’ll find during gameplay it might remind you of Left 4 Dead slightly. You are in an apocalyptic environment and are swarmed with enemies. All while trying to stay alive, to protect your allies, and to get to the objective.

The enemies in question are mutated humanoid rat creatures, the Skaven.  Each hell bent on gnawing at your bones and organs. You obviously don’t want this to happen.

Beautifully brutal combat

The combat is one of the best melee/ranged first-person games out there. It’s immersive and purely brutal. Each character and each weapon is tailored perfectly for its job. The witch Hunter for example wields rapid fire pistols and a rapier, making them a quick slice-and-dice character, quickly dishing out damage with deadly precision.

Then you’d have something like the bright wizard, who’s able to completely immolate hordes of enemies with fire magic. 

They’d better move, seriously

37) Torchlight II

Torchlight II Trailer

A beautiful direct sequel to the first Torchlight game, Torchlight II takes successful elements from the first game then refines and expands on them. For example, Torchlight II also features procedurally generated dungeons that the player can run through and explore. However, Torchlight II has a longer storyline, town hubs to explore and overland areas for the player to explore thoroughly. Torchlight II has also implemented 4 new class types. 

A new feature to the game series is that this game has a day-night cycle, and new weather effects unlike the first game.  

Just look at those colours

Players can customize their race, gender, faces, hair styles, hair colors and of course class. These classes consist of:

  • Engineer – A heavy melee fighter that can use steampunk technology in battle
  • Outlander- A ranged weapon and low magic user
  • Berzerker- A brutal fighter with quick, powerful attacks and can use animal themed special abilities
  • Embermage- A Highly specialized wizard that can cast elemental spells and inflict massive AOE damage

 

Well, we must be on our way

Oh, I should probably mention that you can have pets. Adorable dogs and such. They even have basic customisation options.

Don't blink

Lightning Returns Trailer Cinematic

The Final Fantasy games are absolute legends in the world of beautifully crafted RPG games, so it’s no surprise that at least 1 game had to make it to this list. 

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII is the perfect conclusion to the Final Fantasy XIII series, with an intuitive turn-based combat system that kind of mixes in some real time elements in with the turn-based structure. 

The story takes place 500 years after the events of Final Fantasy XIII – 2. Lightning awakens from a cryogenic sleep just 2 weeks before the worlds end, she is then chosen by the god Bhunivelze to protect the people from the dying planet. 

The gameplay as mentioned before remains true to traditional Final Fantasy Elements, featuring areas to explore and people to interact with, Still keeping in touch with core turn-based combat while trying to add in new features. One of these is the evasion system, wherein Lightning can evade attacks directly instead of taking them head on. 

Lightning nimbly dancing around the battlefield.

Due to unstable energies and the worlds end drawing closer day-by-day, enemies and monsters grow in strength and power day-by-day so make sure to keep Lightning’s skills at their strongest.
