Dog Duty vs Gift of Parthax
Dog Duty
Dog Duty is a tactical strategy game with cool pixel art that has a fun and challenging, arcade-based combat and a familiar "save the world" theme where the goal is to defeat all the Octopus Commander’s lieutenants and ultimately take down the commander itself, liberating the world from its tyranny.The gameplay here comes in two forms – the “open-world format” where you control the vehicle your squad is on rather than the squad itself, and of course, the arcade shooter component in which you’ll get to control individual team members as you go about completing your mission and/or liberating squid-controlled locations.
All in all, Dog Duty is definitely a game worth keeping an eye on. It is a tactical strategy game that tries very hard to differentiate itself from other similar games within the genre… and in that respect, the game did really well. The gameplay is also both entertaining and not-too-difficult to play, at least for the first playthrough, but once you complete the game, you should be able to replay the game at a much higher difficulty.
Gift of Parthax
Gift of Parthax is a 2D action arcade-arena game that's set in a world where there's a conflict between magic and non-magical users in the kingdom of Duredyll, resulting in a massive civil war. Two best friends, Arif and Veleus, were caught right in the middle and in their haste to escape, they, unfortunately, got themselves captured by agents of Duredyll and thrown in prison. Veleus was eventually released only to be sent straight to the grand arena to fight (and die) for the amusement of the spectators. He fought valiantly but was eventually fell by a powerful spell, and ended up in a coma, barely hanging onto life.In hopes of saving his friend, Arif broke out of prison and headed to the arena where Veleus has fallen, intending to fight his way through the top and challenge the reigning champion, Parthax. Parthax has a very special gift that can save Veleus' life but Arif will have to wrestle it from his dead body!
Aside from the fantastic storyline, this game features a fun yet intense gameplay where you'll need to constantly be on the move and avoid projectiles and danger areas on the ground. It also has an amazingly in-depth spell customization system, allowing you to create the spell that suits your play style through the use of Runes.
Gift of Parthax is, without a doubt, an amazing game that will definitely appeal to fans of shoot 'em ups/ arcade-style fighting games!
