Dynasty Warriors: Unleashed vs Highrisers
Dynasty Warriors: Unleashed
Dynasty Warriors: Unleashed is an oriental-themed action-RPG where you get to assmeble a team of officers and send them into battle against hordes of relentless enemies in an effort to reunite the three kingdoms. The game features 50 familiar characters from the Dynasty Warriors series, each of them has their own set of skills and abilities and can be improved through a wide variety of ways. The number of game modes is pretty amazing for a mobile game as well - you can battle in real time with up to a total of four players in Skirmish; work cooperatively to take down a boss in Boss Fight; plunder your opponents' fragments in Raid; occupy mines and gather resources in War Supply; and fight against other players on a massive scale to secure various territories on the map for your kingdom in Conquest.Unlike most mobile spin-offs, Dynasty Warriors: Unleashed does the original franchise justice. If you're a fan of the series (or even if you're not, but you do enjoy a good hack and slash), this is definitely a game you'll want on your mobile devices.
Highrisers
Highrisers is an “escape from the tower”-style survival-slash-resource management game that’s fairly similar to the first Skyhill game, except that instead of traveling to the lobby, your end goal here is to scavenge the resources you need from the lower floors to fix the helicopter on the rooftop so your team of 4 survivors (if none of them died, that is) can escape the tower. It’s basically a quarter of the plot of Zack Synder’s most recent and relatively controversial zombie flick, Army of the Dead, really… and like the film, the game is fun but it has its own caveats.And of course, there are the zombies… ahem… I mean, mutants that will attack your team and any fortifications you’ve put up if they spot you… so there’s that.
For what it’s worth, I really liked resource management-based survival games like Highrisers and I have had a pretty good experience with the game myself, minus all the issues I’ve pointed out. The game definitely has some good stuff going for it, but the dev team really needs to work on the game more to revamp some of the gameplay designs and also to fix the game-breaking bugs reported by their players. Only then I would be comfortable recommending the game. For now though, it’s probably wise to keep it in your wishlist.
