Crown Trick vs Rappelz
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!
Rappelz
Rappelz is an MMORPG that was released in 2009 and developed by Gala Lab in South Korea. It features a traditional dark fantasy world with familiar mechanics, such as running dungeons, questing and PvPing. The game also has three distinct races that provide different lore and a set of character classes to unlock through character progression. Interestingly though, it also has an amazing pet system where players can capture and train their own pets so they can aid them in battle.Despite being an old game with somewhat outdated visuals, Rappelz still has some interesting features that anyone can still enjoy trying it out. The best part though is that the game still receives new content update every month to keep players hooked. It has recently been updated with a brand-new expansion and this is not something that's about to stop any time soon!
