Crown Trick vs Dungeon Siege 2
Crown Trick
Crown Trick is a roguelike adventure RPG that’s set in the Realm of Nightmares. In this game, nightmares from this realm have spewed forth, bringing pain and suffering upon the inhabitants of the mortal realm. As the last remaining dreamwalker, albeit a novice, you, playing as a young girl called Elle, are the only one left to save the world from the never-ending nightmares, and with the help of the arrogant yet omniscient Crown, you might be able to do just that!In a roguelike context, Crown Trick is perhaps the very first to use what is a rare gameplay mechanism to further enhance its turn-based gameplay, and not every move or action will consume a turn either. There are some abilities, blinking for instance, which will allow you to move and perform an action in a single turn, but of course, you will have a limited number of blinks, and restoring them takes some strategizing, especially during boss fights, as well.
As a dungeon crawler of sorts, Crown Trick offers players a nice variety of loot, ranging from the usual weapons and consumable items, to the much more valuable relics that grant permanent passive abilities for the entire dungeon run. As mentioned before, weapons in this game have different attack ranges and grids, and this is important when considering which weapons to equip since you can only have one at any time, and which Familiar abilities (which we’ll cover in a bit), items and relics to complement the weapon you’ve chosen.
Crown Trick is truly one of the best indie roguelikes that I’ve had the pleasure of playing and reviewing. It’s not as hard as Children of Morta mainly because of its turn-based-like format but its quality is on par with the former game and that’s the highest praise I could give. So, to sum up, if you love turn-based games and roguelikes, Crown Trick is one game you mustn’t miss out on!
Dungeon Siege 2
Dungeon Siege 2 is the sequel to the dungeon crawler game, Dungeon Siege, where it plunges you in a whole new storyline that will see you saving the world once again. In this game, the magic that has been spread out throughout the world is now being called back by an ancient being whose strength is on the rise and only you can stop it. The game has greatly improved on every aspect of its original by fleshing out its gameplay with fully customizable characters, generous amount of loot drops, challenging and compelling quests as well as plenty of hidden secrets for you to find; as well as its graphics and soundtracks.If you are interested to try the Dungeon Siege series, many would strongly recommend giving its second installment a try rather than the first. It's really a lot better than the previous in many ways and it might just make you fall in love with the series after you've done with the game. Sadly, the only unfortunate part is that the Steam version doesn't support multiplayer... still.
