Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers vs Melting World Online
Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers
Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers takes a different path from the rest of the much loved series. Instead of hack and slash here you have a turn based strategy game that uses the characters you know in a unique way. You are once more in the 3 Kingdoms of Ancient China and this time you find a strange Mystic called Lixia who needs your help to find and control 5 elemental orbs, all of which are scattered around the world. Thus begins your adventure as you move around trying to find them and reclaim them so that the world can once more be at peace.You begin by forming a party of up to 5 characters, with stats from a preset style and skills that fit the character and what you know from other games about them. These stats determine how you fight in the battles and you have skills that level up, and of course super abilities too. All in all a different take on the game but a lot of fun and the tactical experience is well worth playing.
Melting World Online
Melting World Online is a strategy RPG set in what seems to be an alien world. Featuring a unique old school-look, this game more than makes up for its dated graphics with an in-depth and surprisingly strategic gameplay. Aside from the timed turn-based combat, which is modelled after Fallout games' VATS system and is designed to keep you on your toes, you'll also get to assemble your own team of mechs (along with their mech pilots) to bring into the battlefield.The most intriguing part of the gameplay, however, is how you can customize your mech. Instead of giving you fixed slots to put your weapons and armor in, you get a grided box for each part of your mech, namely the cockpit, left and right arms, the body and left and right legs, where you can attempt to squeeze in as many weapons and armor as you can. After all, the more weapons you have means the more attacking options you'll have, while having more armor means your mech can take a lot more punishment from the enemy before going down.
Melting World Online may not win any prizes when it comes to its nostalgic 90s visuals, but its gameplay is definitely worth a look, especially if you're a huge fan of strategy games.
