Heroes of Might & Magic 2 vs Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Heroes of Might & Magic 2
Heroes of Might & Magic 2 returns you to Enroth, where Ironfist has claimed his kingdom and reigned with honor, but now he is passing and he leaves his 2 son’s Roland and Archibald. Of course there can be only 1 king so the drama begins and it is Archibald who becomes king, though in such a way that leaves the Hero of the story Roland a chance to return and claim the kingdom. Thus begins a stunning game full of action, adventure and all the gameplay you love from the first.There are now 6 factions for you to play, each with their own heroes and abilities. There are also new powers and abilities for your heroes to use, a revamped magic system and the more choice in how you play your game. You still have the hybrid gameplay mix you love as well. All in all an epic game and a great sequel and addition to the story.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is an amazing action-based RPG which we frankly think was one of those RPG gems that were somehow overlooked. Even with its age in mind, the game still does well to cater to fans of RPGs today, giving them a memorable storyline based on a universe created by none other than the legend in fantasy novels, R.A. Salvatore; a host of interesting characters to interact with, and a massive open world to explore. Character customization is pretty extensive here, allowing you to change your character's class, skills and abilities to fit your play style. You can change your character's equipment as well.The amazing part about this game, aside from its immersive storyline and world, is how seemlessly it has managed to integrate magic-wielding with swordplay (it doesn't exactly have to be swords though) in its exhilarting action combat. It does make you feel like you are in the shoes of your character.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning may not be a "Skyrim"-sort of game, but it's incredibly in-depth, able to offer you hundreds of hours of play time at the very least, especially if you are determined to complete every side quest and explore every corner of the beautiful world. It's definitely worth every cent you spent on it!
