Chess Rush vs Pokemon Planet
Chess Rush
Chess Rush is the latest “auto-chess” game to have hit the market recently. Featuring a lineup of amazingly-crafted heroes that you can recruit and then deploy onto the chessboard, the game offers an incredibly-addictive and competitive gameplay and a host of game modes to change things up a bit, giving the game the variety it needs to stick around.The new and intriguing “auto-chess” genre has taken over the world by storm with the advent of Dota Underlords, and although Chess Rush doesn’t have the gravity that Dota has, it holds up pretty well against its competition (as well as other auto-chess games). Despite having a matchmaking system that could use some work and requiring some pretty invasive permissions, the most important thing here is that the game isn’t at all pay to win. So, if you enjoy a good game where you’ll get to puzzle out the best strategy and combination of heroes to deploy and use, Chess Rush is definitely a great choice! Download it now and give it a shot!
Pokemon Planet
Pokemon Planet is a Pokemon-themed, MMO adventure-RPG where you'll not only get to strive to "become the very best like no one ever was"; you'll also be able to assemble a team of Pokemon from various generations/regions (except the ones from Alola). It even features graphics that will definitely twinge that sense of nostalgia in your heart, especially for those who have loved Pokemon ever since their childhood days.The game plays out pretty much like the usual handheld Pokemon games of old, except that this time around, the game is an MMO and hence, you can actually interact with other players in the game. This does make trading Pokemon or dueling a lot easier. However, since the game is not Nintendo-affiliated, the developers are restricted from using certain assets of the franchise, which apparently includes animation and sound effects, but oddly enough, that exclude all the Pokemon designs and every other game element in the game like Gyms and Pokemon Centers.
Although Pokemon Planet is not a Nintendo-created game, it is the sort of Pokemon game that fans of the franchise have always dreamed of. It has the entire package, from the nostalgic graphics to all the Pokemon you can possibly catch (and then to duel other players with). Personally, I believe Pokemon has always been a game that's just primed for an MMO game, and Pokemon Planet simply one-up Nintendo by turning that into a reality (first).
