Half Life 2: Episode Two vs N.O.V.A. Legacy
Half Life 2: Episode Two
Half Life 2: Episode Two continues the storyline of Half Life 2: Episode One (obviously). Playing once again as Dr Gordon Freeman, you set off from City 17 with Alyx Vance in hopes of delivering crucial information to that's left of your fellow resistance scientists. However, to do so, you'll need to cross the dangerous White Forest while having Combine forces hot on your tail.Featuring new weapons, vehicles, and monstrous creatures, Half Life 2: Episode 2 is definitely able to satisfy the masses of fans who are hooked on one of the world's most popular classic game franchise. However, the game apparently ends with a cliffhanger and that Valve, much to the dismay of their fans, has no intentions of finishing the trilogy. This has sparked a rather huge outroar especially when it was leaked that the storyline for Episode 3 has already been written.
Regardless, this game is still a worthwhile purchase despite its years and the incomplete storyline.
N.O.V.A. Legacy
N.O.V.A. Legacy is among the best sci-fi-themed MMOFPS game on mobile of all time and it has inspired a popular new franchise, N.O.V.A. as well. In this game, you play as Kal Wardin, a veteran N.O.V.A. marine, who have been drafted once again into the Colonial Administration forces to fight against the alien invaders that threaten the whole of humanity. The game provides players with a wide variety of PvE game modes to play in, including an offline story mode, Shadow Missions where you get to fight aliens on a limited time battlefield, and Special Ops that pits you against various unique alien formations.N.O.V.A. Legacy also has a multiplayer mode that will allow you fight against other human players in exciting 4-vs-4 team deathmatches or the last-person-stading deathmatch. In addition to crafting and upgrading your weapons, customizing your character's Mobile Armored Suit is very easy and in-depth as well. You can add Cores to give yourself some nice bonuses to supercharge your gameplay.
When it comes to multiplayer shooters on the mobile platform, there are only a few that can go as far as to claim that it plays just like a console game - this game is definitely one of them. Granted that the graphics isn't as great as marketed, but the gameplay is amazing and you even get an offline story-based missions on this free-to-play app! It is as good as it gets!
