Crown Trick vs New Super Mario Bros
Crown Trick
Crown Trick is a roguelike adventure RPG that’s set in the Realm of Nightmares. In this game, nightmares from this realm have spewed forth, bringing pain and suffering upon the inhabitants of the mortal realm. As the last remaining dreamwalker, albeit a novice, you, playing as a young girl called Elle, are the only one left to save the world from the never-ending nightmares, and with the help of the arrogant yet omniscient Crown, you might be able to do just that!In a roguelike context, Crown Trick is perhaps the very first to use what is a rare gameplay mechanism to further enhance its turn-based gameplay, and not every move or action will consume a turn either. There are some abilities, blinking for instance, which will allow you to move and perform an action in a single turn, but of course, you will have a limited number of blinks, and restoring them takes some strategizing, especially during boss fights, as well.
As a dungeon crawler of sorts, Crown Trick offers players a nice variety of loot, ranging from the usual weapons and consumable items, to the much more valuable relics that grant permanent passive abilities for the entire dungeon run. As mentioned before, weapons in this game have different attack ranges and grids, and this is important when considering which weapons to equip since you can only have one at any time, and which Familiar abilities (which we’ll cover in a bit), items and relics to complement the weapon you’ve chosen.
Crown Trick is truly one of the best indie roguelikes that I’ve had the pleasure of playing and reviewing. It’s not as hard as Children of Morta mainly because of its turn-based-like format but its quality is on par with the former game and that’s the highest praise I could give. So, to sum up, if you love turn-based games and roguelikes, Crown Trick is one game you mustn’t miss out on!
New Super Mario Bros
New Super Mario Bros is an excellent "comeback game" for a classic that had been around for more than 20 years. Available for the Nintendo DS, New Super Mario Bros boasts of having brilliant 3D graphics, and a next-level gameplay that adds to and improves on everything you've loved in the older version. There are new power-ups, moves, worlds, levels, as well as secrets to find. There is also 2 multiplayer modes in this game, Mario vs. Luigi and Minigames. Mario vs. Luigi will see you racing against your brother to collect stars while Minigames offers you a wide range of fun relaxing mini-games that you can play solo or play with up to 4 other players in the Minigames tournament.With so many new features to offer, New Super Mario Bros has definitely one-upped its predecessor by more than a mile. If you've enjoyed playing Super Mario Bros, you'll want to get this game as well.
