9th Dawn vs Dog Duty
9th Dawn
9th Dawn is an old-school-like RPG that is set in a remote yet large island continent of Montelorne. The game has a pretty open world gameplay where you can choose to follow the questline and help the people of Montelorne handle the invading armies of the rising undead or simply explore the vast land to discover new towns and dungeons.The game is very much an RPG in the traditional sense. It has three archetype classes for you to play as – the knight, archer and mage. Each of them have their own sets of skills and equipment, that you’ll do well to constantly upgrade, resulting in very different game experiences depending on which class you play as.
Many players have compared 9th Dawn to timeless RPG classics like Ultima and this comparison is, in our humble opinion, very well justified. The game is just very well-designed and will definitely delight every old-school RPG fan who bought it.
Dog Duty
Dog Duty is a tactical strategy game with cool pixel art that has a fun and challenging, arcade-based combat and a familiar "save the world" theme where the goal is to defeat all the Octopus Commander’s lieutenants and ultimately take down the commander itself, liberating the world from its tyranny.The gameplay here comes in two forms – the “open-world format” where you control the vehicle your squad is on rather than the squad itself, and of course, the arcade shooter component in which you’ll get to control individual team members as you go about completing your mission and/or liberating squid-controlled locations.
All in all, Dog Duty is definitely a game worth keeping an eye on. It is a tactical strategy game that tries very hard to differentiate itself from other similar games within the genre… and in that respect, the game did really well. The gameplay is also both entertaining and not-too-difficult to play, at least for the first playthrough, but once you complete the game, you should be able to replay the game at a much higher difficulty.
