Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace vs Might & Magic X Legacy
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.
Might & Magic X Legacy
Might & Magic X Legacy is set once more in the world of Ashan and you are following the events of Might & Magic Heroes VI in the Thallan continent. After the conclusion of the last game there are a few years of relative peace, but not that peace is threatened. You create a party of raiders, traveling with the remains of their mentor to bury in the city of Karthal. But the city is closed, besieged and not a safe place to be. From there you begin an adventure that will not only be exciting but will; take you down a path full of action and, as you would expect a stunning story that unfolds.To begin the game you make a party of 4 characters, choosing either a martial or magical path for each and then set off on your adventure. With several quality of life improvements to the game this has a really nice feel to it, and the gameplay is the hybrid you love with some nice changes too.
