Dragon Age 2 vs Heroes of Might & Magic 5
Dragon Age 2
Dragon Age 2 puts you into the shoes of Hawke, a refugee who happens to be incredibly apt at fighting, as he/she (you get to choose which) attempts to escape from the darkspawn-filled realm of Felderen in hopes of becoming the Champion of Kirkwall. Similar to its original game, the game is utterly oozing in a rich and cinematic-infused storyline that will have you making crucial decisions based on your gut instincts, careful deliberations or simply your emotions which may drastically change the path of your narrative, resulting in very different endings.Being a party-based game, the decisions you make may also affect your companions' personal opinion of you and naturally, the better relationship you have with your companion, the more dialogue options you'll open up. The characters in this game is as colorful as its predecessor too, each with their own unique set of quirks and personalities. The combat system is also greatly improved so the transition between paused "planning mode" and the exciting action is smoother than before.
Dragon Age 2 is an epic sequel to the series and is a must-buy for fans of the game. For those who are looking to get into the game, we'd recommend starting with Dragon Age: Origins just so you can truly appreciate the amount of attention to detail that this game has when it comes to its lore.
Heroes of Might & Magic 5
Heroes of Might & Magic 5 saw a new developer take over, and as such a world reset. Here you have the gameplay you love, with the tactics and development you want with a host of new characters, stories and the world of Ashan. There are 6 campaigns for you to play each with their own special characters and story that introduces them and are a lot of fun to play. Discover the darkness of Inferno, the Elves of Sylvan and the sheer power of the Academy.This fully 3D game brings a host of the classic gameplay among new features and controls that both simplify the game and make it much more streamlined. Though you still have the map hunting, town burning grid based gameplay you love. Altogether a fun game, despite the new setting and a lot of the old traditions came through in a really great way.
