Minecraft Dungeons
Dodge-rolls and kiting through mob swarms
Reads0 vs 0

Children of Morta
Enemies are scripted hack-and-slash fodder.
Minecraft Dungeons
Enemies are scripted hordes
Variance4 vs 4
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Children of Morta
Procedural floors and drops add modest swing.
Minecraft Dungeons

Family upgrade tree and character synergies reward planning.
Minecraft Dungeons
