Heroes of Might & Magic 5 vs Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Heroes of Might & Magic 5
Heroes of Might & Magic 5 saw a new developer take over, and as such a world reset. Here you have the gameplay you love, with the tactics and development you want with a host of new characters, stories and the world of Ashan. There are 6 campaigns for you to play each with their own special characters and story that introduces them and are a lot of fun to play. Discover the darkness of Inferno, the Elves of Sylvan and the sheer power of the Academy.This fully 3D game brings a host of the classic gameplay among new features and controls that both simplify the game and make it much more streamlined. Though you still have the map hunting, town burning grid based gameplay you love. Altogether a fun game, despite the new setting and a lot of the old traditions came through in a really great way.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is an amazing action-based RPG which we frankly think was one of those RPG gems that were somehow overlooked. Even with its age in mind, the game still does well to cater to fans of RPGs today, giving them a memorable storyline based on a universe created by none other than the legend in fantasy novels, R.A. Salvatore; a host of interesting characters to interact with, and a massive open world to explore. Character customization is pretty extensive here, allowing you to change your character's class, skills and abilities to fit your play style. You can change your character's equipment as well.The amazing part about this game, aside from its immersive storyline and world, is how seemlessly it has managed to integrate magic-wielding with swordplay (it doesn't exactly have to be swords though) in its exhilarting action combat. It does make you feel like you are in the shoes of your character.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning may not be a "Skyrim"-sort of game, but it's incredibly in-depth, able to offer you hundreds of hours of play time at the very least, especially if you are determined to complete every side quest and explore every corner of the beautiful world. It's definitely worth every cent you spent on it!
