Final Fantasy XV vs Fire Emblem Heroes
Final Fantasy XV
Final Fantasy XV is the latest installment of the main Final Fantasy franchise. In this game, you get to play as Crown Prince Noctis as he embarks on a road trip across gorgeous landscapes and bustling towns in the fictional world of Eos to reclaim his homeland from the grasps of an eternal foe. With a group of colorful characters-slash-friends in a pretty cool- yet expensive-looking car, you'll get to explore every inch of the incredible open world. But of course, you can also alight from the vehicle to walk instead. Similar to previous games, Final Fantasy XV features thrilling, action-based combat that allows you to channel the power of your ancestors as you hack and slash your way through throngs of enemies with your companions by your side. There are also magic and team-based attacks that you can employ in your battles.The game has a rather differnent feel and tone to it this time around, but it still retains the epic-ness that makes it a worthy sequel in the Final Fantasy franchise. The game is currently available on consoles, but for PC gamers, you might still need to wait a while before you can get it on Steam.
Fire Emblem Heroes
Fire Emblem Heroes is a turn-based strategy/RPG that's inspired in part by the popular Fire Emblem series by Nintendo. However, many fans are calling this game a sold-out because the game has drastically dumbed-down mechanics (no terrain effects, for example) and difficulty that will put the other games in the popular series to shame. Granted that the game needs to be modified to fit the mobile platform and appeal to the more casual mobile gamers, the game is still rather disappointing for hardcore fans of the series.That said, the game features characters from one of Nintendo’s most popular games, an anime-ish storyline, and thankfully, it retains the series' "paper-scissors-stone"-styled combat system. There are plenty of maps for you to battle on, though they may be a tad bit small, and the gameplay is fast-paced enough to be engaging. You can even fight other players with your team of five heroes or come up with new strategies via the practice arena.
Fire Emblem Heroes is the sort of game that's targeted towards a casual audience, and even as this is true, fans of the series might still want to try the game out. You may end up not liking it but at least you can claim to have given this game a chance. However, if you love casual games and the Fire Emblem games, then this is definitely a must-download for you.
