  Melvin       July 6, 2020

Soon after thinking of developing a game, the next thing that comes to your mind is which game engine you have to choose from. The most popular debates have always been made between mainly two game engines; Unity vs Unreal. So briefing the introduction let's dive deep into the topic.

It might be far more convenient to discuss certain features in general rather than pointing out the advantages and disadvantages of both the platforms. Based on this you will get an idea of where to focus and make your investments.

GRAPHICS

Based on the graphics, both the engines perform extremely well. Unity will deliver you a game with your desired graphic features but still Unreal stands a little high on this note. Unreal is quite more advanced on providing more shaders, geometrical density etc but still, it might also sound complicated. Unity has the possibility and power to deliver such high-end games and there are a lot of games made as such.

COMPOSITION

Now here it clearly gives you an option to choose, as the behaviour of both engines is different. Unity just opens you up to the field of freedom where you can define each characteristic using your own game logic and attributes. For having better-customized games this could help a lot. In Unreal things are a little different as you have to blend your ideas with their customisations. They have provided game mechanics for various functionalities which you can use for creating a mind-blowing game but if you are thinking out of the box this might be a trickier task. In Unity, if the developer is proficient, the whole platform gives you the comfort to create a game, breaking all the limitations.

TOOLS

The tools are something which clearly says what the platform has to offer you. In this case, undoubtedly Unreal is loaded with stuff which is going to be there when you search for it. All the tools required for perfect animations and so on are included in the platform but sometimes things go clumsy with this scene. Whereas in Unity, it has everything you need to develop a masterpiece still compared to Unreal it stands behind. But as an elixir Unity has its Asset store where you can have tons of assets to purchase and fix the issue that you are facing and in most cases, it's affordable too. Unity has many promising updates for the future which will definitely deliver a power-packed platform as default.

FOR 2D GAME DEVELOPMENT

Unity is the master when it comes to developing 2D games. The 2D games tool kit will provide you with everything which will drive the process smoothly. The pricing also is comparatively much affordable. In the case of Unreal, it is actually not meant for creating games even though it has one known as Paper 2D. So if you have a 2D game in mind, go for Unity.

It is always advisable to analyse your requirements first. You need to understand what type of game is in your mind to develop.
