Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen vs Food Fantasy
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen casts you into the role of an adventurer leading a band of three AI companions (a.k.a. Pawns) as you set off into a huge and gorgeous open world in search of fame, glory and treasures. One of the main selling points in this game is the incredibly well-designed combat system where you'll actually need to approach your battles and your opponents strategically rather than simply rush head-on. Find out the weaknesses of your enemies and attack them at their achilles' heel.The game also has some of the most amazing AI learning systems in place where the combat style of each Pawn will change depending on the traits learned from the player. In other words, you can literally train your Pawns to fill in the roles you need them to be. Whether you'll train them as a versatile fighter or to play a very specific role in your group... well, that's entirely up to you. Players will even have a ton of options to choose from when it comes to customizing their characters.
Despite the slightly weaker storyline, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen is one of the best monster-hunting and slaying RPGs out there where the action-based gameplay feels smooth and realistic enough to immerse you completely during intense battles with monstrous creatures. If this sounds just like a game you'd like to play, be sure to give the game a try!
Food Fantasy
Food Fantasy is a unique JRPG where all the characters in the game are essentially personified food. For instance, "red wine" is personified into a suave young man who dressed like a Victorian vampire, while "hotdog" is depicted as a tall and lanky young man who has a passion for painting (naturally, ketchup is his signature paint). This concept in its own is immensely intriguing and, of course, very unique, but does the game holds up well when it comes to its gameplay?Well, the story behind the whole game can feel a tad bit forced, and even confusing for some. Apparently, fallen angels have invaded the world and only food souls, a.k.a. the food characters, are able to help defeat them. Combat is pretty barebones, but it's still decent for a mobile RPG. The game even lets you manage your own restaurant where you'll get to prepare and serve food to your customers, much like in a cafe-themed time management game.
Food Fantasy is indeed a very intriguing game, all thanks to its unique perspective on food. It's also really nice that the game incorporates some aspects of a restaurant management game, which completely fits the overall theme, into its gameplay, giving players something else to enjoy aside from all the fighting in a standard RPG.
