Heroes of Might & Magic 4 vs Pillars of Eternity
Heroes of Might & Magic 4
Heroes of Might & Magic 4 takes the game you love, and destroys the world you play it in. A prophecy fulfilled sees a devastating explosion that smashes the world, and yet portals appear to transport some of the people to safety, and here you get a blend of new and old heroes, with their own agendas and politics forging new civilizations and cities in a different and strange new place. And so, as the Reckoning has destroyed the world of Enroth you are set to discover Axeoth for yourself in one of 6 individual campaigns.There have also been serious overhauls to the game systems as well. The hex map is replaced with a much better defined and detailed square map. The skills system is better defined and now you can place your heroes in one of 40 different classes and subclasses. Best of all you can now play your heroes in the battlefield, and use more than one. These dramatic changes have made for an amazing new experience, and one that really adds something amazing to the series.
Pillars of Eternity
Pillars of Eternity is a fun adventure/dungeon crawler-like game that sets you on a journey across a rich fantasy realm with your group of companions as you search for monster-filled dungeons to raid and get treasures from. Experience a gameplay that's similar to many of the classic RPGs you've known and loved. You'll even get to play as one of eleven classes ranging from the Cipher to the Rogue; and as one of six races including unique ones like Aumaua, Godlike and Orlan.The best part in this game is definitely the part where every action you make will have consequences and every faction you ally yourself to will affect the path of your overall narrative. This offers up plenty of possibilities for players to enjoy the game again and again.
Despite being an indie game, Pillars of Eternity has enjoyed success after success since its successful funding at Kickstarter and honestly, we think it deserves all the good things that are going its way. The game is simply a brilliant masterpiece that pays homage to classic RPGs and well, the dev team is amazing as well.
