Crysis Warhead vs N.O.V.A. Legacy
Crysis Warhead
Crysis Warhead is somewhat like a spin-off mainly because it doesn't really continue the plotline in the main Crysis franchise. Instead, I'd venture as far to say that this game might be a prequel to the original Crysis... maybe? Anyway, in this game, you play as Sergeant Sykes who find hismelf on a life-risking mission to retrieve a cargo that's incredibly important behind enemy lines during the Korean war. The gameplay in this game is amazing visceral and intuitive, and of course, between the suit's abilities and the wide range of weapons, you'll have multiple methods to take out your enemies and walk away smiling.There are also aliens of course - it's just Crysis being Crysis - but the enemy AI is a whole lot more intelligent and may just catch you off guard if you're not careful.
As great as Crysis Warhead is, the game can be a tad bit short for its full price. However, if you can get it during a promotion, the game will be very well worth the experience, the time and the price.
N.O.V.A. Legacy
N.O.V.A. Legacy is among the best sci-fi-themed MMOFPS game on mobile of all time and it has inspired a popular new franchise, N.O.V.A. as well. In this game, you play as Kal Wardin, a veteran N.O.V.A. marine, who have been drafted once again into the Colonial Administration forces to fight against the alien invaders that threaten the whole of humanity. The game provides players with a wide variety of PvE game modes to play in, including an offline story mode, Shadow Missions where you get to fight aliens on a limited time battlefield, and Special Ops that pits you against various unique alien formations.N.O.V.A. Legacy also has a multiplayer mode that will allow you fight against other human players in exciting 4-vs-4 team deathmatches or the last-person-stading deathmatch. In addition to crafting and upgrading your weapons, customizing your character's Mobile Armored Suit is very easy and in-depth as well. You can add Cores to give yourself some nice bonuses to supercharge your gameplay.
When it comes to multiplayer shooters on the mobile platform, there are only a few that can go as far as to claim that it plays just like a console game - this game is definitely one of them. Granted that the graphics isn't as great as marketed, but the gameplay is amazing and you even get an offline story-based missions on this free-to-play app! It is as good as it gets!
