Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace vs The Shrouded Isle
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.
The Shrouded Isle
The Shrouded Isle is a very unique simulation game with a dark Lovecraftian-theme, where you assume the role of the High Priest of a cult and do your best to make sure that your fellow cultists stay true to the commandments of the Dark Lord until judgment day. Discover the sinners hidden among the loyal through any means necessary, so you can sacrifice them at the altar to purge your cult of these sinners and appease the ravenous appetite of the Dark Lord.The Shrouded Isle is not just a one-of-a-kind simulation game that lets you become the cult leader of a dark cult filled with seemingly psychotic people; it is also a game that will definitely make you question your morality, and perhaps after hours of burning books, encouraging self-flagellation, executing heretics and sacrificing sinners, your state of mind... especially if you find yourself enjoying the game. The game is as strategic as it is challenging, but at the end of the day, it is just fun to be able to mess with the people in your cult and experience a game as uniquely different as The Shrouded Isle. So, head on over to The Shrouded Isle today to do the Dark Lord’s bidding and reap the rewards once judgment day comes around!
