Alter Ego vs Terrain of Magical Expertise
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.
Terrain of Magical Expertise
Terrain of Magical Expertise is a fairly whimsical turn-based RPG that puts you into the shoes of a white-hat hacker out on a mission to rid an MMO game from its plague of cheaters and black-hat hackers. Venture out into the virtual fantastical world of the Terrain of Magical Expertise, develop both your character and your guild of newly-found friends, and do your best to help them win the in-game event which features a grand prize of $20,000 real-life cash!Despite not knowing anything about the Terrain of Magical Expertise beforehand, the game is still incredibly engaging to play, be it the strategically intriguing turn-based combat that comes with quick-time events or the intricately connected storylines and the camaraderie that you’ll eventually form with your fellow guildmates in the MMO. The game has some flaws, such as not providing all the basic information that a turn-based combat system should have, but overall, the game is definitely worth playing.
