Dungeon Siege vs World of Final Fantasy
Dungeon Siege
Dungeon Siege is a classic dungeon crawler that predates the first Torchlight but not the Diablo series. In this game, you play as a humble farmer who sets off across a 3D fantasy world, battling against hordes of enemies as the storyline unfolds. The most interesting part of this game, back in the day, is that it's a dungeon crawling game that is set above ground and surprisingly not in dungeons. In some way, it is more like certain parts of Diablo 2 and also Path of Exile.The game also has an interesting take on loot and inventory management. You'll get a ton of loot as befit a dungeon crawler, but the thing is you have a very limited inventory, even with a pack mule, and no vendors nearby enough to sell your loot to. So, you'll likely end up throwing most stuff on the ground just so you can move on. Dungeon Siege even allows you to assemble up to a party of 8 characters to aid you in your journey.
However, Dungeon Siege is a really old game and as such, the Steam version does have its fair share of glitches. You may experience constant crashes and installation difficulties even if you're running a top-notch desktop set-up. Some players have also mentioned that the ending of the game was cropped off somehow and that this version of the game doesn't include its expansion or a multiplayer option.
All in all, Dungeon Siege is among the top 5 classic dungeon crawlers back in the day and if you are interested to give it a try, you can get the game for as low as $1 during a Steam sale.
World of Final Fantasy
World of Final Fantasy lets you set off on an exciting adventure across a mysterious land along with two siblings in hopes of finding their lost memories and learning more about their past. There is a host of likeable characters to meet and interact with, some of which are the familiar Final Fantasy heroes that you've known and loved. Unlike the Final Fantasy formula used in most of their main games, the gameplay in this one is quite different. It is a lot like Pokemon where players get to collect, grow, evolve and battle iconic monsters, but here comes the twist - you battle by stacking these monsters to create strategic monster towers. There are several factors, namely the monsters' size, element and order, in combat that will determine your chances of victory and I'd say make the most of these and game the system. In fact, you can even ride the monsters you've caught as mounts to hasten your travels.World of Final Fantasy may be "merely" a spin-off game, but it is still a Final Fantasy game through and through. The art style and the characters that are in the game is a testament to that. The gameplay in this game is very innovative as well. So, if you think you'd like this game, you might want to check it out.
