Hammerwatch 1 or 2?

[Nyah]

Hey,
i've just played heroes of hammerwatch some years ago and i'm interested in the "non-heroes" version.
Do you guys recommend the 1st or the 2nd?

I recommend playing the old ones if you can find at a discount

ok thank you =)

The 1st is a more linear RPG dungeon crawling experience. The 2nd has more exploration in an open world environment. Pick your poison.

if you are leaning towards the 1st game just get Hammerwatch Aniversary Edition which released today. It's a remake made on H2's engine with new sprites and animations as well as a new campaign.

If you're leaning towards 1, get the anniversary edition. It's 1 with a new coat of paint plus the tower from HoH. HW2 is very good if you're looking for a longer RPG and more build variety.

i've read that you can develop a village in the first game, can you explain how it works?
i like the open world of the second more but i too like the idea of developping a village.

You are referring to Heroes of Hammerwatch. A roguelike that was released after Hammerwatch 1. In HoH you grind and grind and grind the same levels over and over and over. The "village" you are referring to that you "build" is strictly cosmetic and unlocks more vendors for meta progression ♥♥♥♥. The game sucks.
