Kingdom Hearts: Unchained X vs Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny
Kingdom Hearts: Unchained X
Kingdom Hearts: Unchained X offers a nice yet rather unlikely mix between two of the most celebrated animated masterpieces, Disney and Final Fantasy, that's set in the “Era of Lost Masters” within the timeline of the Kingdom Hearts lore. If you find this hard to wrap your head around... well, just imagine a Kingdom Hearts world that had just been Disney-fied. Indeed, this 2D game contains numerous references to popular Disney animated shows, characters and even locations like Agrabah from Aladdin.Aside from the Disney influence, fighting the Heartless in this game is something that's pretty easy to pick up since you'll mostly be tapping and swiping to swing that big and iconic keyblade of yours. Interestingly though, the game allows you to use a variety of abilities, ranging from healing effects to experience boosts, depending on the medal you use.
That said, Kingdom Hearts: Unchained X does pale in comparison to any of the games in the Kingdom Hearts franchise and well, that's not exactly surprising considering that this game is free-to-play. However, if you love Disney and/or Kingdom Hearts, you'll definitely want to check this game out.
Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny
Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny , also known as Rune Factory: Oceans, is another somewhat old spin-off from the main Rune Factory game franchise. In this game, you play as the character who happen to have the souls of two lifelong friends, Aden and Sonja, trapped in it. Not to mention, Aden and Sonja were somehow teleported to an unfamiliar island filled with unfamiliar faces. What had happened? Well, to solve this mystery, you'll need to accumulate favor and respect from the locals by helping them with their requests and hopefully, they willm be able to point you in the right direction.Similar to the previous Rune Factory games, Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny also has a fun simulation aspect where you can not only farm and fish but also cook, craft items and compete in festivals. Monsters that you befriended in the wild can work and fight for you as well. Since the island is, obviously, surrounded by an ocean, you can tap into the rich resources in the sea too.
Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny has a pretty interesting twist to the usual storyline used in this game franchise, and of course, the gameplay is as brilliant as ever. If you love Rune Factory, you'll enjoy playing this one.
