Broadcast: Or what are the strengths of each that you wish was in the other? I love DK2's fps mode and walking through your dungeon, but I love Startopia's biodeck.
I don't have experience with startopia.
My personal favorite is DK2, but it was the first one I played. However, is true that the creatures of the first game have more variety. Still, I was unable to enjoy the pixel design of the first game (I'm serious, I was unable to see the details of the creatures).
War for overlord... I hate it. I played 4 days after the official release, THAT WAS NOT A GAME. I wait months for playing again, and I didn't enjoy the campaign (and was still an unfinished game), to the point I stop playing it. The bugs my hardware (hybrid video cards) got were too complex for them, I'm not sure if it's even fixed by now.
That indie company is a good example, of good wishes, good timing (even EA helped them) and a poor organization and even worse decision making (And yes, I read their blogs about their "adventures").
P.s. Now I'm curious about startopia
