Highrisers vs Unison League
Highrisers
Highrisers is an “escape from the tower”-style survival-slash-resource management game that’s fairly similar to the first Skyhill game, except that instead of traveling to the lobby, your end goal here is to scavenge the resources you need from the lower floors to fix the helicopter on the rooftop so your team of 4 survivors (if none of them died, that is) can escape the tower. It’s basically a quarter of the plot of Zack Synder’s most recent and relatively controversial zombie flick, Army of the Dead, really… and like the film, the game is fun but it has its own caveats.And of course, there are the zombies… ahem… I mean, mutants that will attack your team and any fortifications you’ve put up if they spot you… so there’s that.
For what it’s worth, I really liked resource management-based survival games like Highrisers and I have had a pretty good experience with the game myself, minus all the issues I’ve pointed out. The game definitely has some good stuff going for it, but the dev team really needs to work on the game more to revamp some of the gameplay designs and also to fix the game-breaking bugs reported by their players. Only then I would be comfortable recommending the game. For now though, it’s probably wise to keep it in your wishlist.
Unison League
Unison League is an anime-themed RPG that has given rise to its very own cast of unique characters (rather than being based on existing anime characters) as well as a storyline that is definitely manga-worthy. In terms of the gameplay, Unison League has a party-based combat mechanics that allow for devastating “unison” (hence, the game title) attacks. The game also has many features to offer, including real-time co-op quests, intense 10-vs-10 guild battles, a virtual room/ home base that can be decorated, and of course, in-depth character customization.It is quite rare to see a completely new anime RPG these days and Unison League happens to be one of the few that had actually “made it”. Fans of anime RPG will definitely want to get this one for their phones!
