Super Smash Bros vs This War of Mine
Super Smash Bros
Super Smash Bros is the latest installment of the Super Smash Bros series where Nintendo simply mashes up every character they have ever created into a single and pretty much arena-like game. The range of characters you'll have access to is simply incredible since you'll be able to spot some really iconic faces (Link, Mario or Pikachu, for example) along with some more recent and hence, still-obscure ones like Palutena and Little Mac.The gameplay feels a lot like a standard Street Fighter game with the exception that the chraracters are more varied and thus, the abilities you'll have access to will obviously be similarly so as well. However, combos ruled in these games and you'll need to be mindful of this when you are customizing move sets for your characters. Best yet, you can battle with up to 4 of your friends locally or via online, or even create new battlefields (a.k.a. stages) to play in.
Super Smash Bros have always been the perfect melting pot of a game for all the unique characters in the Nintendo many and widely varied universes. If fighting games are your thing, you simply mustn't miss out this amazing game.
This War of Mine
This War of Mine is an indie, 2D survival management game that, unlike most games in its genre, is set not in a post-apocalyptic world but in a war-torn country. Despite being war-themed, the game doesn't cast you into the role of the brave soldier but of the average citizen trying to make the best of the situation and to survive long enough until the war breaks (if it ever).Due to this twist of perspective, along with the fact that every decision and action you make has consequences, both mentally and physically, on the character who did the deed as well as the team, the game ended up having a very tragic undertone and atmosphere throughout its gameplay. After all, you do have to make some difficult decisions in an effort to keep your people alive. From time to time, special events may also pop up and you will need to make a decision to be involved or to stay out of it.
Survival is also another important aspect of the game, and as such, you will need to scavenge for supplies and ensure that your people are well-fed and watered. Materials, tools, and items you gathered over your trips outdoors can be used to craft something else or be sold for some extra cash. During wartime, people are naturally more cautious and for some, more aggressive. It's wise to be careful whenever you encounter other "people" (they are NPCs), especially armed ones, lest your character get slain and your team stumbles straight into depression.
This War of Mine made headlights and game history with its challenging gameplay and of course, its brutally-honest look at the true victims of war. If you think your heart is ready to go through a rollercoaster of emotions, most of which are of the "sad" sort, then, you simply must give this game a try.
