Rayman Adventures vs Tabikaeru: Travel Frog
Rayman Adventures
Rayman Adventures is fun adventure-based platformer game by Ubisoft set in a fictional yet magical world where a crisis had just broken out. Apparently, the Incrediballs’ eggs that power the sacred tree as well as the fluffy Incrediballs themselves have been scattered across the land and it is now up to Rayman (controlled by you, of course) to set off on an adventure to seek them out and bring them all home. The gameplay in Rayman Adventures consist of a nice mix of fast-paced action and exploration, supplemented by the powers of the Incrediballs whom you have decided to bring along and aided with smooth and responsive controls. These Incrediballs are like pets in this game as well, so there are some caring that you'll need to do, such as feeding and playing with them. Eggs you've collected will also help your sacred tree to grow and the height of your tree is the indicator that the game uses to pit you against the other players on the leaderboard and to determine your rank.Rayman Adventure is part of Ubisoft's biggest casual franchise (aside from possibly its horse game that is) and as such, the game's quality is paramount. Unlike many other games though, this is something that this game has managed to achieve many times over. So, if platformers are your thing, this is a game you won't want to miss out. Try it now!
Tabikaeru: Travel Frog
Tabikaeru: Travel Frog is a Japanese simulation game that, in some way, depicts the journeys of an adorable little frog as it travels around Japan. The interesting thing about this game is that you have absolutely no control over what assumingly is your pet frog. It may decide to go on a trip any time it likes, disappearing for hours or even days. It sometimes sends you postcards or photos of the places it went to and the animals it meets, and bring home some gifts when it returns, but sometimes, it does none of those. In some way, you can learn more about your frog through its travels.The game also has a clover garden where you can collect clovers, the virtual currency of the game. You can collect 30 clovers every 3 hours or you can buy more clovers using real cash. Sometimes, your frog will bring home some clovers for you too.
As simple as the game is, it blew up in terms of its popularity at least among East Asian countries mainly because slowly makes the players, especially the 20-somethings, realize that they are actually the wandering frog in this story and that their elderly parents are at home eagerly waiting for their return. After all, in this game, you are put into the role of a parent to some extent - the person who prepares food, tools, and amulets for the travel-obsessed frog whenever it returns home. Also, the game brings the "idle game" genre to a whole new level.
Tabikaeru: Travel Frog is a game that's perfect for players who just don't have a lot of time to play and yet still like to have a very undemanding and interesting virtual pet of sorts... and for any young adults who are working away from home, be sure to visit your parents often! They miss you as much as you miss the frog when it's on its travels.
