Crown Trick vs Torchlight: The Legend Continues
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!
Torchlight: The Legend Continues
Torchlight: The Legend Continues is a dungeon crawler that manages to combine the essences of both Diablo and Torchlight series and packaged it into a mobile-friendly format. Featuring an auto-pathfinding system, the game feels a lot different than any other "automated games" out there mainly due to the abundance of character customization options (mainly through skill combinations and equipment). Randomization is also added to its gameplay and its maps, so you'll encounter very different scenarios even if the dungeon you are running is the same one. It keeps the game experience fresh and exciting.Similar to the old Torchlight games, there are also pets that you can adopt. These pets have their own set of main and passive skills which can be applied in your combat. Pets can be improved by fishes caught via fishing at randomly-spawned fishing ponds in the game.
Torchlight is one of the most loved dungeon crawlers, possibly second only to the Diablo series, and this mobile version of it does the franchise justice in many ways. So, if you love playing dungeon crawlers on your mobile devices, you should definitely try Torchlight: The Legend Continues.
