Bastion vs Episode - Choose Your Story
Bastion
Bastion is a very unique action RPG that is so different from any other RPGs you might have played before mainly because the game provides you with your very own personal narrator who will reactively narrate your every move and action, resulting in a deeper and much more personal story to be crafted as you progress in your adventure. The brilliant hand-painted graphics and the melodious soundtrack in this game is astounding too, allowing you to be fully immersed in the bright and cheery-looking world despite being shattered into pieces by an almost apocalyptic event called the Calamity.The gameplay in Bastion is most definitely not the hack-and-slash sort. Instead, the game rewards you for approaching your battles with finesse rather than recklessness. To make your character stronger and able to take on tougher enemies, there are plenty of weapons you can loot and upgrade as well. Best yet, you can even discover up to 6 different Bastion structures and that the game has plenty of varied game modes for you to enjoy.
Bastion is an RPG very unlike any other we, and possibly you, have ever experienced before. The game has a really fascinating way of approaching its storytelling aspect and that alone is enough to make the game a must-buy for many players. But if the storyline isn't something you emphasize on, then you might want to grab the game for its gameplay instead.
Episode - Choose Your Story
Episode - Choose Your Story is a rather interesting game that may bring to mind the choose-your-own-adventure gamebooks of old (at least for the kids from the 90s) though the game features a whole lot mote cheesy romance stories rather than epic dragon-slaying adventures. Catering to female teens and tweens, the stories are episodic and, unlike gamebooks, has animated characters. There isn't as many choices in this game as you might expect, with a lot of them mainly involving the changing of clothes - apparently, clothes makes a man... ahem, I mean lady. There are some obviously positive choices, which are highlighted in gold, from time to time, but in order to choose these choices, you have to spend premium gems. Naturally, you'll only have a limited amount of them until you have to start paying real money to buy more.Each episode of a story, with the exception of the first episode, will require passes to play too, but at least you'll get a nice number of passes for free daily. That said, it's nice to see how the app allows creative writers to monetize their stories in a more interesting way while earning a following in the process.
If you enjoy interactive stories with choices such as the Choices: Stories You Play, you'll love Episode - Choose Your Story. Do give it a try!
