Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen vs FeralHeart
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen casts you into the role of an adventurer leading a band of three AI companions (a.k.a. Pawns) as you set off into a huge and gorgeous open world in search of fame, glory and treasures. One of the main selling points in this game is the incredibly well-designed combat system where you'll actually need to approach your battles and your opponents strategically rather than simply rush head-on. Find out the weaknesses of your enemies and attack them at their achilles' heel.The game also has some of the most amazing AI learning systems in place where the combat style of each Pawn will change depending on the traits learned from the player. In other words, you can literally train your Pawns to fill in the roles you need them to be. Whether you'll train them as a versatile fighter or to play a very specific role in your group... well, that's entirely up to you. Players will even have a ton of options to choose from when it comes to customizing their characters.
Despite the slightly weaker storyline, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen is one of the best monster-hunting and slaying RPGs out there where the action-based gameplay feels smooth and realistic enough to immerse you completely during intense battles with monstrous creatures. If this sounds just like a game you'd like to play, be sure to give the game a try!
FeralHeart
FeralHeart is a very unique MMORPG where instead of playing a human or humanoid character, you actually get to play as a feral lion or wolf of your choice. For a fairly low-budget game, the customization options in this game is simply astonishing! You can adjust literally every part of your animal avatar's body, ranging from the mane down to the distinctive markings which will help yuo personalize your feral. The game also has a vast world for you to explore and who knows, you may even make other animal friends along the way.Best yet, the developer of the game has even added in a map and an object editor, allowing players to create their own maps and objects for the game. In some way, the game is trying to transition to becoming a player-driven game, and it's working somehow, despite the lower population (but it's still an impressive number).
FeralHeart is the spiritual successor of KovuLKD's old game "Impressive Title" and we're glad to say that this game did it justice. If you long to bound around as a daring feline or canine, this is the game to play.
