Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace vs Battle Breakers
Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace
Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace is a story-driven, party-based adventure RPG complete with unique gridless turn-based combat, and a creepy Lovecraftian theme. In this game, you get to control a ragtag team of investigators with varying experiences and talents. The goal here is to track down the mysterious cultists who are involved in the murder of Professor Tillinghast during what seems to be a sacrificial ritual. Will you be able to find out what’s really going on and who’s to blame for the murder?As someone who has not played the board game version of Arkham Horror before, this turn-based adventure RPG is a pretty great introduction. I absolutely love the horror-themed storytelling here and the voice acting is simply brilliant. Since I’m an avid fan of turn-based RPGs, the gridless gameplay here is unique enough to help it stand out. That said, the game is unfortunately marred by several glitches, especially the annoying camera glitch which can only be fixed by reloading a previous checkpoint.
So, to sum up, Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace may not be triple-A level, but it’s a solidly fun game in spite of its bugs and is still worth the purchase.
Battle Breakers
Battle Breakers is a new free-to-play turn-based RPG from Epic Games. Here, you’ll fight against monsters from the sky who trapped the planet’s heroes. Your role is to gather a team to take the planet back from them. Use a variety of heroes with different abilities and use elemental affinities to your advantage.Granted that it isn’t a battle royale, but much like the Fortnite, it innovates and delivers new yet refined gameplay mechanics. Available on Android, iOS, and on PC through the Epic Games Store, this turn-based strategy game is a breath of fresh air to the rather crowded hero-collecting subgenre. Though its gameplay loop appears way too different and even uncharacteristic, it’s extremely fun, simple to pick up, and in a way, works seamlessly. All these, paired up with high production value and hilarious dialogue, deliver quite an experience.
Overall, Battle Breakers is a must-try game especially if you’re looking for a new hero-collector. Though it’s still a little early to say that it beats its peers off the park, its fresh take on dungeon-crawling and its robust roster of heroes to collect makes it something you need to get your hands on.
