Greak: Memories of Azur vs Super Mario Run
Greak: Memories of Azur
Greak: Memories of Azur is a gorgeous action-adventure game featuring a young boy in search of his sister in a world engulfed in turmoil, no thanks to the bloodthirsty Uglars. Playing as the boy Greak, you’ll venture across various regions in Azur, exploring every inch of it for hidden stashes, completing quests, and battling enemies along the way.The game starts off like a relatively regular action platformer, where you’ll get to jump, swing your sword around, and solve relatively simple puzzles by switching characters once you manage to reunite him with his sister. This part is actually pretty similar to the gameplay in Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, a favorite of mine.
In fact, you’ll get to control both characters at the same time, which is interesting, though it does complicate things a bit during combat especially considering that the sister is a magic user and deals damage from afar while the brother is a sword-wielder and does best dealing damage from a much closer range.
In a way, Greak: Memories of Azur also feels a bit like a Metroidvania in the sense that the game hides secret chests and rare flowers in places that you, if you don’t pay too much attention, might miss. Even if you spotted the items, you will still need to figure out a way to get to them, which usually involves some creative and sometimes very precise jumping. Expect to get frustrated… a lot!
The gorgeous hand-drawn art in Greak is definitely one of the highlights of the game as well. The out-of-focus background in the distance matches well with the stuff at the front too.
In a nutshell, not only is Greak: Memories of Azur a gorgeous action-adventure game with a heartwarming story about a brother trying to reunite with his sister in a world embroiled in war and infested with dangerous creatures, it also comes with a fun gameplay that's perfectly "midcore". So, if you're into story-driven platformers, you'll want to check out this one!
Super Mario Run
Super Mario Run is a mobile 2D platform-based arcade game created by Nintendo. The game puts you into Mario's shoes once again but this time, due to auto-running, you won't have full control over Mario himself. That said, you can still make him jump over obstacles, collect coins and mushrooms, jump on enemies, as well as perform cool wall jumps. Thankfully, as the game's speed doesn't increase as you play since the game can be rather complex and getting accurate jumps is of the utmost importance, especially if you aim to get the highest score.The game even has a small castle-building and decorating aspect when you're not out adventuring. There is also the Rush mode where you can attemtp to beat other players’ high scores in the fastest time possible.
If you're a huge fan of everything Mario, Super Mario Run is definitely the game for you. But even if you're not, this game is an incredibly well-made platformer that brings this successful franchise to the mobile market for free. The game is worth your time, that's for sure!
