Fairy Tail: Hero's Journey vs Food Fantasy
Fairy Tail: Hero's Journey
Fairy Tail: Hero's Journey is actually an official browser MMO game for the popular magic-dueling anime, Fairy Tail, unlike some of the anime MMOs we've encountered so far. Featuring all the familiar cast of characters, this game will pit your team of hand-picked heroes against the anime’s biggest villains as you battle your way through the Grand Magic Games and hopefully, help your guild, Fairy Tail, secure its title of being the most powerful magic guild in Fiore. However, things don’t go as planned and soon enough, you may find yourself embroiled in an adventure that’s much more intriguing…The game plays out much like your typical browser MMO. This basically means that combat is automated and questing is semi-automated as well. You won't be fighting alone either - you will eventually be able to assemble a team of mages, along with a pet and mount, to help you along in your journey. These mages, mount and pet can of course be upgraded to increase their combat efficiency and hence, your overall combat power.
Fairy Tail: Hero's Journey may have the blessing and perhaps even backing of the actual anime franchise, but the game isn't exactly breaking the typical mould that defines a browser MMO. It's fun enough for fans of the anime and for casual-like MMOs though, and if you're among the players who fall into one of these two camps, you'll want to give the game a try.
Food Fantasy
Food Fantasy is a unique JRPG where all the characters in the game are essentially personified food. For instance, "red wine" is personified into a suave young man who dressed like a Victorian vampire, while "hotdog" is depicted as a tall and lanky young man who has a passion for painting (naturally, ketchup is his signature paint). This concept in its own is immensely intriguing and, of course, very unique, but does the game holds up well when it comes to its gameplay?Well, the story behind the whole game can feel a tad bit forced, and even confusing for some. Apparently, fallen angels have invaded the world and only food souls, a.k.a. the food characters, are able to help defeat them. Combat is pretty barebones, but it's still decent for a mobile RPG. The game even lets you manage your own restaurant where you'll get to prepare and serve food to your customers, much like in a cafe-themed time management game.
Food Fantasy is indeed a very intriguing game, all thanks to its unique perspective on food. It's also really nice that the game incorporates some aspects of a restaurant management game, which completely fits the overall theme, into its gameplay, giving players something else to enjoy aside from all the fighting in a standard RPG.
