Banished vs Heroes of Incredible Tales
Banished
Banished is a medieval-themed city-building simulation that can be pretty difficult to get into at first mainly due to its many nuances and lack of a comprehensive tutorial. But once you get the general idea of how things work (we'd recommend starting with easy mode), you'll start to truly appreciate the game as the challenge that it is. In some way, this game is quite similar to SimCity in many ways with the obvious difference being the themes and the lack of piping, waste management or electricity. Different maps will pose a different challenge and of course, the bigger your village is, the more stuff you'll need to manage. Although it does have some strategy elements to it - mainly in the form of village management, the game is not a war game. There is no fighting involved but your villagers will die from natural causes or disasters like illnesses or famine.However, once you've gotten the hang of the game, Banished becomes less of a punishing game and a bit more boring due to the same-y looking buildings and the soundtrack. When it comes to replayability, we'd say that the game has maybe tens of hours in it before you'll get bored and move on to the next game... and this play duration may be drastically reduced if you happen to be a pro SimCity player.
So, in short, Banished will appear to be a somewhat frustrating game at first, but once you've gotten the hang of it, the game might gradually becomes boring mainly because there is nothing else to do except to expand, expand and expand! However, we can't say that we didn't enjoy playing the game, and even for the shorter play duration it has to offer, as opposed to triple A city-building titles, the game is worth the money it costs.
Heroes of Incredible Tales
Heroes of Incredible Tales (HIT) is an action-based, hack-and-slash mobile MMORPG that's both entertaining to play and gorgeous to look at... which is not at all surprising considering that the game is powered by none other than Unreal Engine 4, the powerhouse of choice for many triple A games. That said, the game itself is very easy to pick up and yet quite challenging to master. Featuring stage battles that you must clear out before advancing, the game allows you to choose a character, level him or her, and acquire loot to improve your arsenal. The game also has a pretty engaging storyline that's set in a fantasy medieval era, where the world is plunged, once again, into conflict after an epic battle between the Goddess Eda and the God of Chaos, Virbar.All in all, Heroes of Incredible Tales is definitely the game to play especially if you're looking for an action-intensive game for your mobile device. Once you’re playing it, HIT is definitely a hard game to put down.
