Half Life 2: Episode Two vs Robothorium
Half Life 2: Episode Two
Half Life 2: Episode Two continues the storyline of Half Life 2: Episode One (obviously). Playing once again as Dr Gordon Freeman, you set off from City 17 with Alyx Vance in hopes of delivering crucial information to that's left of your fellow resistance scientists. However, to do so, you'll need to cross the dangerous White Forest while having Combine forces hot on your tail.Featuring new weapons, vehicles, and monstrous creatures, Half Life 2: Episode 2 is definitely able to satisfy the masses of fans who are hooked on one of the world's most popular classic game franchise. However, the game apparently ends with a cliffhanger and that Valve, much to the dismay of their fans, has no intentions of finishing the trilogy. This has sparked a rather huge outroar especially when it was leaked that the storyline for Episode 3 has already been written.
Regardless, this game is still a worthwhile purchase despite its years and the incomplete storyline.
Robothorium
Robothorium is a fairly old-school style, turn-based dungeon crawler/RPG that’s set in a far futuristic world where an impending “world war” is about to break out among the machines and humans. The game features team management, where you'll get to level up, upgrade and equip every robot in your team just so you can take on tougher enemies later down the road, and plenty of fun loot management, just like what you'd find in any good dungeon crawler.Combat-wise, the game has a pretty typical turn-based gameplay where special skills are regulated and offset by basic attack skills via the Overload system in order to prevent players from spamming them. Robothorium also provides a PvP arena for those who are more competitive and want to pit their team against other teams in their attempt to climb the ranks of the leaderboard.
Overall, I'd say Robothorium is a pretty decent turn-based, dungeon crawler-style RPG that's not only fun to play; it is also the sort of game that will make you really think about your actions since there are both immediate consequences, in the form of reputation gain or loss, as well as other consequences that will emerge later down the line.
