Dark Gnome vs Dungeon Siege 3
Dark Gnome
Dark Gnome is a fun, pixel-style 2D fantasy RPG that's fresh from the oven from Upjers. Currently available for players who know how to read German, the game will have you set up your ultimate team of warriors and send them to battle various creatures in the game's many dungeon-like locations for amazing loot. You can recruit new heroes from the tavern and equip them with the best gear you have. You can even help injured warriors recover by sending them over to the only medical tent in town.The old-school-styled combat system in this game, on the other hand, is mainly turn-based and allows you to choose which action to take, be it to attack or to stand your ground.
Dark Gnome is a game that gives off a strong 2D dungeon crawler vibe which, I believe many players would probably enjoy. The game is currently in its Open Beta phase and once it is officially released, hopefully, Upjers will provide an English version for their global players.
Dungeon Siege 3
Dungeon Siege 3 is the third installment of the popular dungeon crawling game, Dungeon Siege. Unlike its previous games, the game deviates from its usual formula and provide players with a lot more flashy action as well as an amazing skill set along with tactical dodges, blocks and buffs. With drastically improved graphics, everything in the game looks and feels a lot immersive. The storyline in this game, where you play the leader of the remaining band of Legionnaires, is quite decent as well albeit a bit generic (the usual "save the world from evil" sort).However, like many have noted, plenty of its features fall a bit short despite the attempt to innovate the franchise. There are just scores of other games at this point that have done everything it tries to do with much better success. In fact, many have bemoaned the fact that the Dungeon Siege series has been ruined by this latest sequel. Whether this is true or not for you, we can't really say, but if you're still interested to try this game out, do go ahead. Well, the game at least have a co-op mode now though.
