Might & Magic IX vs Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom
Might & Magic IX
Might & Magic IX once more takes you on an intriguing adventure, set in a standalone part of the world of Ashan. Here you are a part of shipwrecked raiders and you are set upon a strange path. The Beldonian warlord Tamur Leng is attempting an invasion, and it falls to you to stop him and save this land from the evil intentions of the warlord. Thus begins an adventure that will take you to the very limit. Though in a break from tradition there are very few references or returning characters from the other games in the series.With a different set of options, this has a unique rules set too, once more making it much more standalone than you would think. You get to choose the strengths, races and classes of the characters and from there you can continue to improve them, with many of the tactical elements you know, but with a less polished finish this game, while fun is one of the weaker of the series.
Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom
Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is the highly anticipated sequel to the brilliant, story-driven role-playing adventure game. As opposed to continuing the previous game's storyline (not that the first game ended on a cliffhanger or anything), the game sets off on an entirely different yet equally story-driven route by narrating the adventures of a young king, Evan, who was overthrown in a coup but still aspires to establish a new kingdom of his own. There will be an whole new cast of characters to meet and interact with in this journey and eventually, you will need to, together with Evan, confront the dark forces that threaten the good people of the world.Ni No Kuni 2 certainly outdid itself this time around! In fact, the game is so incredibly immersive to the point where you sometimes forget that this is actually a game and not an anime movie, especially considering how well the outstanding visuals and music blended together. This is a game that fans of story-driven gameplay would greatly enjoy!
