Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace vs Red Crimes: Hidden Murders
Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace
Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace is a story-driven, party-based adventure RPG complete with unique gridless turn-based combat, and a creepy Lovecraftian theme. In this game, you get to control a ragtag team of investigators with varying experiences and talents. The goal here is to track down the mysterious cultists who are involved in the murder of Professor Tillinghast during what seems to be a sacrificial ritual. Will you be able to find out what’s really going on and who’s to blame for the murder?As someone who has not played the board game version of Arkham Horror before, this turn-based adventure RPG is a pretty great introduction. I absolutely love the horror-themed storytelling here and the voice acting is simply brilliant. Since I’m an avid fan of turn-based RPGs, the gridless gameplay here is unique enough to help it stand out. That said, the game is unfortunately marred by several glitches, especially the annoying camera glitch which can only be fixed by reloading a previous checkpoint.
So, to sum up, Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace may not be triple-A level, but it’s a solidly fun game in spite of its bugs and is still worth the purchase.
Red Crimes: Hidden Murders
Red Crimes: Hidden Murders is a crime investigation-themed hidden object game where you assume to role of police chief for the district of Rouxville. Unlike many other similarly-themed games though, this game focuses more on the analytical aspect of the CSI process, producing a host of more entertaining, immersive and sometimes, realistic mini-games for players to enjoy, in addition to the usual routine of scouring crime scenes for pieces of evidences.For instance, in an Autopsy mini-game, you actually get to use various tools to open up the victim's corpse to collect evidence that might have lodged in the body. Even without all the blood, it can still get kind of gruesome for the squemish and thankfully, players are given the option to skip such mini-games if they want to. There is a nice variety of mini-games as well, ranging from puzzle-based matching games to spinning a 3D object around to find tap-able spots.
The game has a simulation aspect as well, giving players to chance to assemble and expand their own police force, send out officers to patrol zones within the district, and even upgrade the police station to unlock new cases, zones and features. The zones offer various minor cases, missions and events that you can complete for extra rewards as well.
If you enjoy playing Criminal Case or CSI-like HO games, Red Crimes: Hidden Murders is one game you wouldn't want to miss. The game's as unique as it is fun - it is definitely worth the download and the time you'll spend on it solving cases.
