Greedy Gods: Islands & Treasures vs Might & Magic IX
Greedy Gods: Islands & Treasures
Greedy Gods: Islands & Treasures is a PvP-oriented game that's very much like Pirate Kings where the main gameplay is simply pressing a button to spin a wheel. However, unlike the Pirate Kings, this time around, you play as a godly being who is able to use your holy powers to smite your enemies. You can also build up your own beautiful island - an island that's worthy of a deity of your powers - and customize its look with a variety fo fun themes ranging from Greek Gods to Vikings. Furthermore, this game is much more cooperative in the sense that you not only get to attack your friends to plunder their gold; you can, interestingly, choose to defend them as well.With so many islands to own and collect (and naturally, to defend), Greedy Gods: Islands & Treasures is the perfect alternative game for fans of Pirate Kings. In fact, they will definitely find the similarities between these two games familiar and comforting.
Might & Magic IX
Might & Magic IX once more takes you on an intriguing adventure, set in a standalone part of the world of Ashan. Here you are a part of shipwrecked raiders and you are set upon a strange path. The Beldonian warlord Tamur Leng is attempting an invasion, and it falls to you to stop him and save this land from the evil intentions of the warlord. Thus begins an adventure that will take you to the very limit. Though in a break from tradition there are very few references or returning characters from the other games in the series.With a different set of options, this has a unique rules set too, once more making it much more standalone than you would think. You get to choose the strengths, races and classes of the characters and from there you can continue to improve them, with many of the tactical elements you know, but with a less polished finish this game, while fun is one of the weaker of the series.
