Alter Ego vs Might & Magic: Showdown
Alter Ego
Alter Ego is a text-based interactive story that's based on the "choose your own adventure" formula used by gamebooks back in the 90s. However, being a digital version has its advantages, the game can be packed with more choices and multiple-choice questions, allowing it to be a lot more in-depth than any of the traditional gamebooks.The storyline in this game is pretty unique too. Alter Ego details the story of a human - you can choose the gender - from birth to death. You'll be going through his or her lifespan, making decisions and in general, living the life of a virtual person.
The game claims to be able to change your life and in some way, it can. If you enjoy story-based games, Alter Ego might just be the game you seek. It's so realistic in its way and that's where its charm lies.
Might & Magic: Showdown
Might & Magic: Showdown is a different take on this much loved setting. Instead of a tactical game, you have a 1 on 1 pvp game where you choose, personalize and fight with a character in short tactical games against other players. Build a team of characters and then use them in short battles in real time against your enemies. Plan your skills ahead of time and defeat as many as you can, and then keep on going.This game is a sideline to the main series, and one that is set to be both fun and fast paced. Not yet released it is available on Steam Early Access.
