Greak: Memories of Azur vs Rigid Force Alpha
Greak: Memories of Azur
Greak: Memories of Azur is a gorgeous action-adventure game featuring a young boy in search of his sister in a world engulfed in turmoil, no thanks to the bloodthirsty Uglars. Playing as the boy Greak, you’ll venture across various regions in Azur, exploring every inch of it for hidden stashes, completing quests, and battling enemies along the way.The game starts off like a relatively regular action platformer, where you’ll get to jump, swing your sword around, and solve relatively simple puzzles by switching characters once you manage to reunite him with his sister. This part is actually pretty similar to the gameplay in Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, a favorite of mine.
In fact, you’ll get to control both characters at the same time, which is interesting, though it does complicate things a bit during combat especially considering that the sister is a magic user and deals damage from afar while the brother is a sword-wielder and does best dealing damage from a much closer range.
In a way, Greak: Memories of Azur also feels a bit like a Metroidvania in the sense that the game hides secret chests and rare flowers in places that you, if you don’t pay too much attention, might miss. Even if you spotted the items, you will still need to figure out a way to get to them, which usually involves some creative and sometimes very precise jumping. Expect to get frustrated… a lot!
The gorgeous hand-drawn art in Greak is definitely one of the highlights of the game as well. The out-of-focus background in the distance matches well with the stuff at the front too.
In a nutshell, not only is Greak: Memories of Azur a gorgeous action-adventure game with a heartwarming story about a brother trying to reunite with his sister in a world embroiled in war and infested with dangerous creatures, it also comes with a fun gameplay that's perfectly "midcore". So, if you're into story-driven platformers, you'll want to check out this one!
Rigid Force Alpha
Rigid Force Alpha is a 3D side-scrolling arcade shooter (shoot 'em up) where you assume command of one of the most advanced technologies the United Planet Freedom Forces (UPFF) has ever had. Featuring tons of exciting enemies and challenging bosses, this game provides you with many fun ways to blast various colored projectiles be it amplifying your attack power and allowing you to shoot at the enemies behind you using Force Shards or unleashing your charged attack after collecting sufficient energy orbs from fallen enemies. You can even use Bullet Blade to protect your ship from a hail of projectiles, as long as you have the energy to spare.In addition to an intriguing, albeit generic, storyline where UPFF's top-secret research facilities are sending out distress signals, Rigid Force Alpha also has two other game modes which will be unlocked as you progress in the main mission and a nice range of difficulty levels.
Offering an exhilarating and pretty intense gameplay, Rigid Force Alpha is an arcade shooter that will keep you at the edge of your seat! This game may be underrated but it is a worthwhile purchase, especially if you're a huge fan of arcade games.
