Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace vs Heroes Origin
Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace
Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace is a story-driven, party-based adventure RPG complete with unique gridless turn-based combat, and a creepy Lovecraftian theme. In this game, you get to control a ragtag team of investigators with varying experiences and talents. The goal here is to track down the mysterious cultists who are involved in the murder of Professor Tillinghast during what seems to be a sacrificial ritual. Will you be able to find out what’s really going on and who’s to blame for the murder?As someone who has not played the board game version of Arkham Horror before, this turn-based adventure RPG is a pretty great introduction. I absolutely love the horror-themed storytelling here and the voice acting is simply brilliant. Since I’m an avid fan of turn-based RPGs, the gridless gameplay here is unique enough to help it stand out. That said, the game is unfortunately marred by several glitches, especially the annoying camera glitch which can only be fixed by reloading a previous checkpoint.
So, to sum up, Arkham Horror: Mother's Embrace may not be triple-A level, but it’s a solidly fun game in spite of its bugs and is still worth the purchase.
Heroes Origin
Heroes Origin is an MMO strategy/RPG that features turn-based combat and an epic tale involving ruthless dragons, rioting angels, and more. You’ll also get to assemble a team of heroes to take on the various challenges your journey will bring, and develop your own citadel to gather the resources you’ll need to mount a siege.Heroes Origin isn’t exactly your typical browser MMORPG though. The turn-based combat system provides players with an element of strategy, mainly through the hero arrangement in your team formation, in addition to all the usual RPG stuff, such as upgrading your heroes and recruiting new ones. The confusing storyline maybe dismally disappointing but the game does have some really nice soundtrack and visuals that look good if you don’t scrutinize them. Most of the combat can be automated as well, allowing players to enjoy the game casually while they are doing something else.
