9th Dawn vs Crystal of Re:union
9th Dawn
9th Dawn is an old-school-like RPG that is set in a remote yet large island continent of Montelorne. The game has a pretty open world gameplay where you can choose to follow the questline and help the people of Montelorne handle the invading armies of the rising undead or simply explore the vast land to discover new towns and dungeons.The game is very much an RPG in the traditional sense. It has three archetype classes for you to play as – the knight, archer and mage. Each of them have their own sets of skills and equipment, that you’ll do well to constantly upgrade, resulting in very different game experiences depending on which class you play as.
Many players have compared 9th Dawn to timeless RPG classics like Ultima and this comparison is, in our humble opinion, very well justified. The game is just very well-designed and will definitely delight every old-school RPG fan who bought it.
Crystal of Re:union
Crystal of Re:union is an anime-themed, Japanese strategy/RPG that features a brilliant cast of interestingly unique hero characters, each with their own backstories for you to uncover, as well as a fun gameplay which will see your hero fighting off monsters or your armies besieging a rival kingdom. You can even work together with like-minded players in various Alliances to hasten the development of each other’s castles and defeat tougher monsters.Overall, Crystal of Re:union offers up an impressive amount of depth when it comes to developing its anime heroes and this is something that really shines through in this game. It’s gameplay, on the other hand, is interesting enough to be engaging but it doesn’t exactly add anything different to the mix. The storyline could use some work as well. So, if you’ve playing games like Throne: Kingdom at War or something similar and that you love anime, you might want to check this game out!
