Darksiders vs Heroes of Might & Magic 5
Darksiders
Darksiders is an action-adventure game with a rather dark theme. In this game, you'll assume the role of one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse, War. Accused of causing a war between heaven and hell, you have been indicted for your crimes. However, you are given one last chance to return to Earth to search for the true culprits behind the bloodbath and perhaps prove your innocence. Being a Horseman, you have supernatural abilities in addition to an arsenal of weapons that will come in handy when you are hacking and slashing your way across a Hell-controlled Earth. There are tons of ways for you to develop your character as well, giving you the opportunity to customize War to fit your play style.Although the combat is satisfying, the gameplay can be somewhat repetitive after some time since all you need to do is to simply rack up your combos. The creatures and bosses you'll fighting against aren't too difficult either, making things rather boring after awhile. That being said, the game is pretty worth its price only for its epic Diablo-like story alone.
Heroes of Might & Magic 5
Heroes of Might & Magic 5 saw a new developer take over, and as such a world reset. Here you have the gameplay you love, with the tactics and development you want with a host of new characters, stories and the world of Ashan. There are 6 campaigns for you to play each with their own special characters and story that introduces them and are a lot of fun to play. Discover the darkness of Inferno, the Elves of Sylvan and the sheer power of the Academy.This fully 3D game brings a host of the classic gameplay among new features and controls that both simplify the game and make it much more streamlined. Though you still have the map hunting, town burning grid based gameplay you love. Altogether a fun game, despite the new setting and a lot of the old traditions came through in a really great way.
