Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers vs Endless Space
Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers
Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers takes a different path from the rest of the much loved series. Instead of hack and slash here you have a turn based strategy game that uses the characters you know in a unique way. You are once more in the 3 Kingdoms of Ancient China and this time you find a strange Mystic called Lixia who needs your help to find and control 5 elemental orbs, all of which are scattered around the world. Thus begins your adventure as you move around trying to find them and reclaim them so that the world can once more be at peace.You begin by forming a party of up to 5 characters, with stats from a preset style and skills that fit the character and what you know from other games about them. These stats determine how you fight in the battles and you have skills that level up, and of course super abilities too. All in all a different take on the game but a lot of fun and the tactical experience is well worth playing.
Endless Space
Endless Space is a stunning turn based strategy game where you are in control, and have a variety of ways to win. Take command of one of 10 different unique races and then help them to develop, build and attack as needed to achieve your goals. You can win by Diplomacy, Technology or simply smashing your enemies into the floor. Each game is against up to 4 opponents in randomly generated maps that include whole chunks of galactic space.Control your resources and develop your civilization and military by increasing their technology and creating huge cities. There are 7 ways to win, each with their own victory conditions, when one of the players gets it the game is over, there is also a timer that counts down so you are against other players and the clock. The combat is turn based and uses rock paper scissors style, blended with a lot of tactical choices. An interesting game with a lot of replayability and just a sheer enjoyment factor.
