Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions vs Might & Magic: Heroes VII
Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions
Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions is a turn-based strategy/RPG spin-off from the main Final Fantasy franchise. The original Final Fantasy Tacitcs was very well-received back when it was first released. Due to this, the Square Enix has had the game revamped and we get a sequel of sorts as a result. The original game has not only been ported to the mobile platform, it also features all of the new improvements you'd expect, including better cinematics, new characters, more than 20 job classes and extra missions. You can play the game alone or with a friend via its co-op mode as well.Final Fantasy Tactics was one of the best spin-offs for the Final Fantasy franchise and Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions did a good enough job to not disappoint. It might be buggy from time to time, but it's still the favorite game you knew.
Might & Magic: Heroes VII
Might & Magic: Heroes VII is the latest (and perhaps most disappointing) installment of the classic turn-based RPG series, Might & Magic. It's not that the gameplay is horridly bad - it's actually somewhat the opposite. Many fans have liked the variety this installment has brought, especially the six different faction campaigns that you can enjoy, each with their own stories and landscapes of course. This game also has a nice, low-key empire building aspect where you'll manage your city, gather resources and recruit extra armies to help you take down your enemies. The synergy between the heroes and their armies is well-designed too, and not to mention, the game has a nice skirmish mode where you can simply test your skills against an AI whereby both of you are given maximum power.However, all those aside, Might & Magic: Heroes VII is possibly one of the buggiest games ever made for the franchise. The game crashes pretty often and the bugs, although rarely game-breaking, are incredibly annoying. The multiplayer mode is also practically non-existant mainly because it doesn't even work. Worst yet, the developers apparently have given up trying to fix the game and left the game almost as broken as the day it was released.
So, considering all of that, we really couldn't recommend getting Might & Magic: Heroes VII unless you can get it at a "way below market price" range or you'll just end up regretting all the wasted money.
