Heroes of Might & Magic 4 vs Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Heroes of Might & Magic 4
Heroes of Might & Magic 4 takes the game you love, and destroys the world you play it in. A prophecy fulfilled sees a devastating explosion that smashes the world, and yet portals appear to transport some of the people to safety, and here you get a blend of new and old heroes, with their own agendas and politics forging new civilizations and cities in a different and strange new place. And so, as the Reckoning has destroyed the world of Enroth you are set to discover Axeoth for yourself in one of 6 individual campaigns.There have also been serious overhauls to the game systems as well. The hex map is replaced with a much better defined and detailed square map. The skills system is better defined and now you can place your heroes in one of 40 different classes and subclasses. Best of all you can now play your heroes in the battlefield, and use more than one. These dramatic changes have made for an amazing new experience, and one that really adds something amazing to the series.
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!
