Gift of Parthax vs Might & Magic: Showdown
Gift of Parthax
Gift of Parthax is a 2D action arcade-arena game that's set in a world where there's a conflict between magic and non-magical users in the kingdom of Duredyll, resulting in a massive civil war. Two best friends, Arif and Veleus, were caught right in the middle and in their haste to escape, they, unfortunately, got themselves captured by agents of Duredyll and thrown in prison. Veleus was eventually released only to be sent straight to the grand arena to fight (and die) for the amusement of the spectators. He fought valiantly but was eventually fell by a powerful spell, and ended up in a coma, barely hanging onto life.In hopes of saving his friend, Arif broke out of prison and headed to the arena where Veleus has fallen, intending to fight his way through the top and challenge the reigning champion, Parthax. Parthax has a very special gift that can save Veleus' life but Arif will have to wrestle it from his dead body!
Aside from the fantastic storyline, this game features a fun yet intense gameplay where you'll need to constantly be on the move and avoid projectiles and danger areas on the ground. It also has an amazingly in-depth spell customization system, allowing you to create the spell that suits your play style through the use of Runes.
Gift of Parthax is, without a doubt, an amazing game that will definitely appeal to fans of shoot 'em ups/ arcade-style fighting games!
Might & Magic: Showdown
Might & Magic: Showdown is a different take on this much loved setting. Instead of a tactical game, you have a 1 on 1 pvp game where you choose, personalize and fight with a character in short tactical games against other players. Build a team of characters and then use them in short battles in real time against your enemies. Plan your skills ahead of time and defeat as many as you can, and then keep on going.This game is a sideline to the main series, and one that is set to be both fun and fast paced. Not yet released it is available on Steam Early Access.
