Demi Lovato: Path to Fame vs Greak: Memories of Azur
Demi Lovato: Path to Fame
Demi Lovato: Path to Fame is an interactive storytelling game that not only lets you be virtual buddies with the one and only Demi Lovato, but also allows you to experience what it feels like to be a young lady seeking someone to love among the super rich and famous. Similar to Episode (since both games were created by the same company, Episode Interactive), you'll get to design your own character from top to bottom, and make crucial decisions during key moments in the game that may drastically affect the path of the overall narrative.The best part about this game though is that, being friends with Demi, you'll the rare chance to sing with her on stage, hang out with her and the band back stage, and go on a tour with the group and visit various cities worldwide.
Demi Lovato: Path to Fame is a very well-made app that doesn't only let you learn more about Demi's rise to fame but it also lets you build your own fame and forge relationship with characters that you are interested in. If you admire Demi Lovato, love her songs or even love games like Episode, this is definitely one game you don't want to miss out!
Greak: Memories of Azur
Greak: Memories of Azur is a gorgeous action-adventure game featuring a young boy in search of his sister in a world engulfed in turmoil, no thanks to the bloodthirsty Uglars. Playing as the boy Greak, you’ll venture across various regions in Azur, exploring every inch of it for hidden stashes, completing quests, and battling enemies along the way.The game starts off like a relatively regular action platformer, where you’ll get to jump, swing your sword around, and solve relatively simple puzzles by switching characters once you manage to reunite him with his sister. This part is actually pretty similar to the gameplay in Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, a favorite of mine.
In fact, you’ll get to control both characters at the same time, which is interesting, though it does complicate things a bit during combat especially considering that the sister is a magic user and deals damage from afar while the brother is a sword-wielder and does best dealing damage from a much closer range.
In a way, Greak: Memories of Azur also feels a bit like a Metroidvania in the sense that the game hides secret chests and rare flowers in places that you, if you don’t pay too much attention, might miss. Even if you spotted the items, you will still need to figure out a way to get to them, which usually involves some creative and sometimes very precise jumping. Expect to get frustrated… a lot!
The gorgeous hand-drawn art in Greak is definitely one of the highlights of the game as well. The out-of-focus background in the distance matches well with the stuff at the front too.
In a nutshell, not only is Greak: Memories of Azur a gorgeous action-adventure game with a heartwarming story about a brother trying to reunite with his sister in a world embroiled in war and infested with dangerous creatures, it also comes with a fun gameplay that's perfectly "midcore". So, if you're into story-driven platformers, you'll want to check out this one!
