Hyper Light Drifter vs Middle-Earth: Shadow of War - The Mobile Game
Hyper Light Drifter
Hyper Light Drifter is an action-adventure RPG with a very unique pixel-based art style and a fun gameplay that will keep you coming back for more. The storyline in this game is pretty bleak since you play as a drifter who happens to have an odd but vicious disease that keeps haunting your thoughts and dodging your every move. By traveling to the dark and savage lands of Buried Time, you hope to find a way to finally be free of this illness.Being ill, you aren't exactly in your fighting prime and so, instead of relying on your frailing strength, combat in this game mainly involves dashing away to avoid blows and trying to strike the enemy in between dashes. In some way, it may feel like being the less burly underdog in a WWE match. There are plenty of weapons to help you though, along with a variety of incredible skills which you can master.
The world you play in is also quite vast, with plenty of hidden nooks and crannies - usually with a bonus reward in them - for you to find. In addition to the story mode, there is a horde mode (endless) as well where you can truly put your combat skills to the test. However, one of the best things about this game is the soundtrack which somehow seems to complement the game's graphics and its overall atmosphere perfectly.
With the unique pixel art and the old-school feel, Hyper Light Drifter may not be everyone's cup of tea, but if you do enjoy such games, you'll find that this game is truly a hidden indie gem.
Middle-Earth: Shadow of War - The Mobile Game
Middle-Earth: Shadow of War - The Mobile Game is an action-adventure RPG that is an absolute delight to play. The game lets players take assume control of various iconic characters from the original game and, through these characters, players can absolutely annihilate any foe that stands in their path. The game’s combat system is definitely its biggest highlight because it lets players control multiple different characters at the same time and each individual character has access to its own special abilities. The most appealing thing about the game’s combat is the fact that players can chain the abilities of multiple characters together in order to wreak havoc on foes.Of course, the breathtaking graphics aside, this mobile version of the game also features the series' hallmark nemesis system, where orc enemies will remember your decisions and will act accordingly if you do meet again. You can even strategize with your friends via a Fellowship and help each other to progress after in the game.
The original Middle Earth: Shadow of War proved itself to be one of the most successful video games of 2017 and this popularity is probably what inspired this mobile-based variant of the game. This particular release of Middle Earth: Shadow of War is no doubt one of the best mobile based RPGs available right now and we highly recommend giving it a shot if you’re looking for an immersive RPG that you can enjoy on the go.
