Dark Gnome vs Dragon Age: Origins
Dark Gnome
Dark Gnome is a fun, pixel-style 2D fantasy RPG that's fresh from the oven from Upjers. Currently available for players who know how to read German, the game will have you set up your ultimate team of warriors and send them to battle various creatures in the game's many dungeon-like locations for amazing loot. You can recruit new heroes from the tavern and equip them with the best gear you have. You can even help injured warriors recover by sending them over to the only medical tent in town.The old-school-styled combat system in this game, on the other hand, is mainly turn-based and allows you to choose which action to take, be it to attack or to stand your ground.
Dark Gnome is a game that gives off a strong 2D dungeon crawler vibe which, I believe many players would probably enjoy. The game is currently in its Open Beta phase and once it is officially released, hopefully, Upjers will provide an English version for their global players.
Dragon Age: Origins
Dragon Age: Origins is the first game in one of the most highly-acclaimed game series, Dragon Age. The game seems to combine all the great elements of a traditional RPG with an epic storyline set in a gorgeous open world that will truly put your morality and decision-making skills to the test. In some way, the game does bring to mind the immersiveness of the Fable series as you'll be able to actually mold your character's personality and morality based on every single decision you make. The host of characters in this game is pretty amazing as well. Their personalities are very well-crafted and this makes them relatable, and hence, realistic.That's not all, the game features an exciting and engaging combat system that will see you fighting enemies of all shapes and sizes... and of course, dragons. Being one of the last Grey Wardens, you also possess incredible magical powers and skills that further augments the game's melee combat. Due to the game's 3-person party-based system, the game's combat system even has a special "paused" function where you can issue individual orders to your allies for a more coordinated but equally fast-paced action combat.
Dragon Age: Origins is the sort of game that can hold its own even after years since its release. In fact, we dare say this game might already made it into the list of modern classics. If you love a rich story and a fun action RPG, this is definitely the game to buy.
