Deus Ex: Invisible War vs Warmerise
Deus Ex: Invisible War
Deus Ex: Invisible War is the first sequel to the Deus Ex game franchise and is perhaps one of the least known version. Set in a world 20 years after the events in the first game has concluded, Deus Ex: Invisible War lets you take part in the dark struggle between massive religious sects and powerful political factions that are hellbent on setting up and securing a world government that will pass policies that are in their favor; policies that will change the human society for decades and maybe centuries to come. The storyline in this game may be dark and dreary, but it is supported by plenty of responsive plot branches that will shape your narrative based on your actions and decisions.Aside from the many amazing new augments added to your arsenal, Deus Ex: Invisible War even has a much improved AI and stealth system where enemies will actively seek you (the intruder) out even when any sound is detected. This makes its stealth gameplay a whole lot more challenging. Of course, like the previous game, you'll also be given multiple (more peaceful) ways to avoid conflict if you so wish to.
Deus Ex: Invisible War is unfortunately the black sheep of the franchise. It has plenty of problems and let's not even mention about the incredibly long loading screens. Honestly, if you can afford the other games in the series, you might want to get those instead.
Warmerise
Warmerise , a.k.a. Warmerise Red vs Blue and Warmerise Online, is a primarily team-based MMOFPS game with a nice science fiction/futuristic-themed that may remind a player of Halo. The game provides players with 2 game modes to play, namely Team Deathmatch and Elimination, both of which have a strong emphasis on teamplay. The combat itself is a bit arcade-like since jumping around actually works as a strategy to avoid getting blown to pieces. Players also have a vast arsenal of conventional and unconventional weapons to use in this game, including mines and rocket launchers, in addition to a ton of cosmetics and suit upgrades. You can even pick up the weapons of fallen enemies or allies in the field.Warmerise isn't exactly very newbie-friendly though, since you are expected to figure out most of the controls you need. Thankfully, most of the common FPS hotkeys, like R for Reload, works in this game. However, some of the aspects might need some getting used to, such as the toggle-based scope and the 3-second invulnerability during spawn, and the fact that there is no such thing as friendly fire in this game.
Being a browser-based MMOFPS, the graphics and the gameplay in Warmerise are quite impressive. However, you should know that there aren't a lot of players for you to play with if you happen to NOT be in the US, and if you do connect to the US servers from outside the US, you can definitely expect some ping/latency issues which will impact your gameplay and overall game experience.
