Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom vs Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny
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!
Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny
Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny , also known as Rune Factory: Oceans, is another somewhat old spin-off from the main Rune Factory game franchise. In this game, you play as the character who happen to have the souls of two lifelong friends, Aden and Sonja, trapped in it. Not to mention, Aden and Sonja were somehow teleported to an unfamiliar island filled with unfamiliar faces. What had happened? Well, to solve this mystery, you'll need to accumulate favor and respect from the locals by helping them with their requests and hopefully, they willm be able to point you in the right direction.Similar to the previous Rune Factory games, Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny also has a fun simulation aspect where you can not only farm and fish but also cook, craft items and compete in festivals. Monsters that you befriended in the wild can work and fight for you as well. Since the island is, obviously, surrounded by an ocean, you can tap into the rich resources in the sea too.
Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny has a pretty interesting twist to the usual storyline used in this game franchise, and of course, the gameplay is as brilliant as ever. If you love Rune Factory, you'll enjoy playing this one.
