Crown Trick vs Heroes of Might & Magic 2
Crown Trick
Crown Trick is a roguelike adventure RPG that’s set in the Realm of Nightmares. In this game, nightmares from this realm have spewed forth, bringing pain and suffering upon the inhabitants of the mortal realm. As the last remaining dreamwalker, albeit a novice, you, playing as a young girl called Elle, are the only one left to save the world from the never-ending nightmares, and with the help of the arrogant yet omniscient Crown, you might be able to do just that!In a roguelike context, Crown Trick is perhaps the very first to use what is a rare gameplay mechanism to further enhance its turn-based gameplay, and not every move or action will consume a turn either. There are some abilities, blinking for instance, which will allow you to move and perform an action in a single turn, but of course, you will have a limited number of blinks, and restoring them takes some strategizing, especially during boss fights, as well.
As a dungeon crawler of sorts, Crown Trick offers players a nice variety of loot, ranging from the usual weapons and consumable items, to the much more valuable relics that grant permanent passive abilities for the entire dungeon run. As mentioned before, weapons in this game have different attack ranges and grids, and this is important when considering which weapons to equip since you can only have one at any time, and which Familiar abilities (which we’ll cover in a bit), items and relics to complement the weapon you’ve chosen.
Crown Trick is truly one of the best indie roguelikes that I’ve had the pleasure of playing and reviewing. It’s not as hard as Children of Morta mainly because of its turn-based-like format but its quality is on par with the former game and that’s the highest praise I could give. So, to sum up, if you love turn-based games and roguelikes, Crown Trick is one game you mustn’t miss out on!
Heroes of Might & Magic 2
Heroes of Might & Magic 2 returns you to Enroth, where Ironfist has claimed his kingdom and reigned with honor, but now he is passing and he leaves his 2 son’s Roland and Archibald. Of course there can be only 1 king so the drama begins and it is Archibald who becomes king, though in such a way that leaves the Hero of the story Roland a chance to return and claim the kingdom. Thus begins a stunning game full of action, adventure and all the gameplay you love from the first.There are now 6 factions for you to play, each with their own heroes and abilities. There are also new powers and abilities for your heroes to use, a revamped magic system and the more choice in how you play your game. You still have the hybrid gameplay mix you love as well. All in all an epic game and a great sequel and addition to the story.
