Fairy Tail: Hero's Journey vs Yandere Simulator
Fairy Tail: Hero's Journey
Fairy Tail: Hero's Journey is actually an official browser MMO game for the popular magic-dueling anime, Fairy Tail, unlike some of the anime MMOs we've encountered so far. Featuring all the familiar cast of characters, this game will pit your team of hand-picked heroes against the anime’s biggest villains as you battle your way through the Grand Magic Games and hopefully, help your guild, Fairy Tail, secure its title of being the most powerful magic guild in Fiore. However, things don’t go as planned and soon enough, you may find yourself embroiled in an adventure that’s much more intriguing…The game plays out much like your typical browser MMO. This basically means that combat is automated and questing is semi-automated as well. You won't be fighting alone either - you will eventually be able to assemble a team of mages, along with a pet and mount, to help you along in your journey. These mages, mount and pet can of course be upgraded to increase their combat efficiency and hence, your overall combat power.
Fairy Tail: Hero's Journey may have the blessing and perhaps even backing of the actual anime franchise, but the game isn't exactly breaking the typical mould that defines a browser MMO. It's fun enough for fans of the anime and for casual-like MMOs though, and if you're among the players who fall into one of these two camps, you'll want to give the game a try.
Yandere Simulator
Yandere Simulator is a very unique stealth-based simulation game that involves a Yandere girl or boy whom you'll be playing as and a senpai that you are creepily stalking. Despite its apparently romantic theme, the game gets dark really quickly when you realize that you will need to get rid of competitors who are gunning for your senpai by any means necessary... and yes, that sometimes means you might have to kill or at least socially destroy your rival. However, there are many factors in play, for example, you can't do anything remotely evil while your senpai is near enough to notice, or that your reputation will decrease whenever you are spotted doing anything incriminating by anybody at the high school you attend. You'll also gain access to a special skill, Yandere Vision, which allows you to have a bit of an unfair advantage since you'll get to see through walls and important figures and objects will be automatically highlighted.Due to the nature of the game, it is safe to say that this is not a game for children or maybe even impressionable teens. However, the concept that the game is based on is quite interesting to say the least and although the game is still in its alpha, the game seemed to have garnered a rather large amount of interest from the gaming community. The game's sandbox build is currently free-to-play but the full game is expected to be a buy-to-play.
