Fallout vs Shards of Magic
Fallout
Fallout is world's first post-apocalyptic-themed open world RPG where your decisions and actions actually matter. Although your choices will not change the entire world, it will affect your relationship with the many NPCs in the game. In addition, Fallout made the Hall of Fame when it comes to RPGs due to its incredibly immersive storyline, which is written as you venture out into post-fallout wasteland, meeting people trying to eke out a living as well as hostile enemies (some are also mutated to a certain degree) alike.It's also interesting to note that the game has a really simple S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats system, which consists of (obviously) 7 stats, and a skills system, consisting of 8 unqiue skills, that you can access via your unique PipBoy interface. Naturally, your skill proficiency is determined by the amount of points you invest in them, so basically, you can still use the skills you have despite having just 1 point in it, but the chances of success will be incredibly low. It's not possible to be proficient in all of the skills, so you'll need to decide which skills you use the most.
The Fallout series is perhaps one of the largest franchise to date and it has evolved so much since its conception, but the success that it has enjoyed can be attributed to the groundwork laid by this very first game. In fact, many games owed their open world, decision-driven origins - like many shooters that are associated however remotely to Doom - to Fallout. It may be a classic now but it was a revolutionary game of its time.
But the most interesting thing is that the game is still fun to play. If you love the latest Fallout and have never minded old-school games and their graphics, you should definitely check this game out. It'll blow your mind!
Shards of Magic
Shards of Magic is a free-to-play turn-based RPG that is published and developed by Reality Squared Game Co and is currently available for both Android and iOS devices. The game is the straightforward sort - you'll be managing and assembling a team of heroes to fight various enemies sent your way by the villain, Dusan, as you try to collect all the shards of a magical crystal (hence, the name) that were scattered across the realm to stop Dusan from getting his hands on that crystal and using it to destroy the world. There are tons of heroes for you to collect and upgrade, as well as plenty of events, both PvE and PvP ones, for you to enjoy.Aside from its fun gameplay, Shards of Magic also provides some stunning graphics and sound - though the voice acting may leave it slightly less desirable - that will accompany you along your perilous journey. This game is as solid a mobile MMORPG as it goes and if you love casual MMOs, this is a game you might want to play.
