Accel World VS. Sword Art Online vs Dungeon Siege
Accel World VS. Sword Art Online
Accel World VS. Sword Art Online is the first, and hopefully not the last, cross-platform (PC via Steam and PlayStation) game that offers a nice mash-up between two popular animes, Sword Art Online and Accel World. In this game, Svart Alfheim and the Accelerated World have emerged and are causing certain devastating destruction in the world, and during all the chaos, Yui has mysteriously vanished. Kirito is convinced she's in trouble but in order to locate her, he will need to challenge the Seven Kings of pure color from the Accelerated World to get the information he needs.Like the previous game, Accel World VS. Sword Art Online is a party-based RPG where you'll need to assemble a team of heroes by recruiting the characters from either anime and novel series. Aside from providing you witha hyper jumping skill, the game's dynamic combat system also retained Sword Art Online's iconic aerial combat, allowing you to perform impressive aerial strikes from the skies. Best yet, the game even has an online multiplayer option with varying modes which can support up to 4 players.
Accel World VS. Sword Art Online is the perfect anime mash-up for Sword Art Online. If you love either one of the animes or even both, you might want to check this game out!
Dungeon Siege
Dungeon Siege is a classic dungeon crawler that predates the first Torchlight but not the Diablo series. In this game, you play as a humble farmer who sets off across a 3D fantasy world, battling against hordes of enemies as the storyline unfolds. The most interesting part of this game, back in the day, is that it's a dungeon crawling game that is set above ground and surprisingly not in dungeons. In some way, it is more like certain parts of Diablo 2 and also Path of Exile.The game also has an interesting take on loot and inventory management. You'll get a ton of loot as befit a dungeon crawler, but the thing is you have a very limited inventory, even with a pack mule, and no vendors nearby enough to sell your loot to. So, you'll likely end up throwing most stuff on the ground just so you can move on. Dungeon Siege even allows you to assemble up to a party of 8 characters to aid you in your journey.
However, Dungeon Siege is a really old game and as such, the Steam version does have its fair share of glitches. You may experience constant crashes and installation difficulties even if you're running a top-notch desktop set-up. Some players have also mentioned that the ending of the game was cropped off somehow and that this version of the game doesn't include its expansion or a multiplayer option.
All in all, Dungeon Siege is among the top 5 classic dungeon crawlers back in the day and if you are interested to give it a try, you can get the game for as low as $1 during a Steam sale.
