Advanced Wars vs Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Advanced Wars
Advanced Wars is a rather unique turn-based strategy game where you play as the tactical advisor for the Orange Star Army when war broke out between Orange Star and its neighbors. With invading armies positioned at the borders of your homeland, you'll need to take command of a wide variety of ground, air and naval forces to defend your home and survive the war. The terrain and weather play important roles during your tactical and strategic planning, and you'll be wise to take note of those factors before deploying your units.Advanced Wars is one of the classic strategy games that are nintendo-only. With over 100 maps and stages to play, you'll definitely have hours to sink into this game.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is an amazing action-based RPG which we frankly think was one of those RPG gems that were somehow overlooked. Even with its age in mind, the game still does well to cater to fans of RPGs today, giving them a memorable storyline based on a universe created by none other than the legend in fantasy novels, R.A. Salvatore; a host of interesting characters to interact with, and a massive open world to explore. Character customization is pretty extensive here, allowing you to change your character's class, skills and abilities to fit your play style. You can change your character's equipment as well.The amazing part about this game, aside from its immersive storyline and world, is how seemlessly it has managed to integrate magic-wielding with swordplay (it doesn't exactly have to be swords though) in its exhilarting action combat. It does make you feel like you are in the shoes of your character.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning may not be a "Skyrim"-sort of game, but it's incredibly in-depth, able to offer you hundreds of hours of play time at the very least, especially if you are determined to complete every side quest and explore every corner of the beautiful world. It's definitely worth every cent you spent on it!
