Monster Hunter Stories vs Total War: Warhammer
Monster Hunter Stories
Monster Hunter Stories is a Pokemon-like version of the famous Monster Hunter game franchise where you venture into monster nests to collect eggs, hatch them into a wide variety of monsters, assemble the best of the hatchlings into teams and challenge the game's AI or other players via the multiplayer mode to battle. The combat system in this iconic series has been reworked to fit its new gameplay, opting for a turn-based, rock-paper-scissors combat system that is the series' first. Best yet, you can even get into customizing the skills and attributes of the monster hatchlings you get by breeding. And of course, the game is made complete with an exciting storyline that will keep you hooked to the game til the very end.Monster Hunter Series is honestly a breath of fresh air from the usual action-adventure gameplay you might be familair with. This unique combination of features also made this game a great entry point for newcomers looking to get into the Monster Hunter game series.
Total War: Warhammer
Total War: Warhammer perfectly combines one of the best fantasy-adventure literature of all time with one of the best historical real-time strategy games in gaming history. Deviating from their usual historically-based titles, Total War: Warhammer is set in the rich, expansive, and most defintiely fictional universe of Warhammer, where war between the 5 major races, namely the Bretonnia, the Empire, the Dwarfs, the Vampire Counts and the Greenskins, is a pretty constant occurrence. Amass an army filled with all manner of creatures imaginable and appoint powerful Lords, equipped with the best items you cna offer, to lead your battalions in massive real-time battles.Not to mention, being a fantasy-themed game, you can now use magic to combat your foes and deploy flying units - the first time ever for a Total War game.
Featuring top-of-the-line graphics and animations, Total War: Warhammer is a marvellously-crafted and meticulously-designed masterpiece of a game. There are still some flaws that the game can work on like the sieges (need more stuff for defenders) and maybe not add in what should have been free game patches as purchasable DLCs, but that aside, the game is as great as large-scaled battles go.
