A game is defined by a lot more than just it's genre, and that's why relying on only one or two genres to determine how good a game is to another is often not a good idea The genres are often too vague and doesn't clarify something that might be a deal breaker for someone. Yet they are very different from each other. Technically old school Mario, Mega Man, and Zelda fall into the genres of 2D side scrolling, and platform. All the genres matching doesn't mean you or anyone else will like it though. It does not mean they shouldn't be compared. Steam has thousands of games, every game is different to each other. Obviously the gameplay will be different, that's why they are 2 separate game, not one. All the genre are matching between the two. Originally posted by 🌈Cloud Boy🌈:Everyone is saying they are different game, they both are 2D side scrolling platformer rogue-lite. Woe be unto us for surely we are faced with the hardest of choices. To have 2 good games to play at the same time, the choice of which to play first and which to beat first. Such a terrible fate indeed that we bear.

Neither one is better, so you will just have to Enjoy both of them as they are both great games in my opinion, Or, to give you a far more simple answer. It's just that the games Feel too unique to reasonably compare.

That doesn't mean there isn't overlap, or that you can't do one strategy in the other. Do I want to put the effort of holding onto this skull so I can upgrade it later or do I pick up this more immediately useful but less scalable one? Do I sacrifice this item for this one so I can get more of a certain stat? Which 'build' am I going to try and lean towards? Preparing for the bosses before hand with a strategy in mind, etc. Whereas Skul is, in my option, more about thinking ahead for the meta game. DC is fast paced as hell and is, if you wanna simplify it a fair bit, essentially Dark souls as a 2d roguelite, requiring pattern recognition, seat of your pants reaction times, and other such stuff. Genre and basic first glances are important sure but it's the smaller yet if anything more important details that are what makes games like this what they are. Don't try comparing two games they might share a genre but they are very different once you sit down and play them both.
