Dark Gnome vs Tiles and Tales
Dark Gnome
Dark Gnome is a fun, pixel-style 2D fantasy RPG that's fresh from the oven from Upjers. Currently available for players who know how to read German, the game will have you set up your ultimate team of warriors and send them to battle various creatures in the game's many dungeon-like locations for amazing loot. You can recruit new heroes from the tavern and equip them with the best gear you have. You can even help injured warriors recover by sending them over to the only medical tent in town.The old-school-styled combat system in this game, on the other hand, is mainly turn-based and allows you to choose which action to take, be it to attack or to stand your ground.
Dark Gnome is a game that gives off a strong 2D dungeon crawler vibe which, I believe many players would probably enjoy. The game is currently in its Open Beta phase and once it is officially released, hopefully, Upjers will provide an English version for their global players.
Tiles and Tales
Tiles and Tales is a puzzle-adventure RPG set in a beautiful fantasy medieval world where you get to join Lilly, a young courageous squire, as she sets off to save her kingdom Zanira from the Norbolds. As opposed to the usual match-3 gameplay, this game will require you to swipe, stack and combine various colorful tiles to attack enemies, loot chests or even heal yourself. The game may start of easy at first due to the simple mechanics, but as you progress, the difficulty increases, giving you sufficient challenge that makes each successful battle a rather satisfying achievement. There are loads of enemies as well as bosses for you to go up against, a cooperative-styled crafting system, plenty of quests for you to complete, and boosters that can strengthen your hero. Aside from playing as Lilly, you can play as Gareth the prince, Rumford the knight and Igua the rogue.With lots levels and stages for you to challenge and stunning locations to explore, Tiles and Tales is a matching-based puzzle-adventure RPG that is fun in so many ways. If you enjoy a good free-to-play puzzle RPG, this is the game to play!
