Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers vs Splendor
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.
Splendor
Splendor is the official digital adaptation of the popular cards-and-chips game of the same name. In this game, you'll work on increasing your prestige by trading gems and developing your town. With time and enough development cards, you may even attract the attention of powerful nobles to gain even more prestige!The gameplay can be a bit harder to get into especially if you have not played the game before, but once you do, you'll realize that the game is actually quite simple to play. Of course, "simple to play" doesn't mean "simple to win" though! You will still need to play a ton of matches before you can develop your own unique strategies which you then use to one-up your opponents. There are also single-player challenges for you to hone your Splendor skills!
This digital adaptation of Splendor stayed true to its original cards-and-chips game, but I find it falls a bit short of its full potential, mainly because it doesn't make full use of what the digital world can offer.
