You can even work together with like-minded players in various Alliances to hasten the development of each other’s castles and defeat tougher monsters.Overall, Crystal of Re:union offers up an impressive amount of depth when it comes to developing its anime heroes and this is something that really shines through in this game. It’s gameplay, on the other hand, is interesting enough to be engaging but it doesn’t exactly add anything different to the mix. The storyline could use some work as well. So, if you’ve playing games like Throne: Kingdom at War or something similar and that you love anime, you might want to check this game out!
Might & Magic IX
Might & Magic IX once more takes you on an intriguing adventure, set in a standalone part of the world of Ashan. Here you are a part of shipwrecked raiders and you are set upon a strange path. The Beldonian warlord Tamur Leng is attempting an invasion, and it falls to you to stop him and save this land from the evil intentions of the warlord. Thus begins an adventure that will take you to the very limit. Though in a break from tradition there are very few references or returning characters from the other games in the series.With a different set of options, this has a unique rules set too, once more making it much more standalone than you would think. You get to choose the strengths, races and classes of the characters and from there you can continue to improve them, with many of the tactical elements you know, but with a less polished finish this game, while fun is one of the weaker of the series.
