Might & Magic: Heroes VII vs Royal Frontier
Might & Magic: Heroes VII
Might & Magic: Heroes VII is the latest (and perhaps most disappointing) installment of the classic turn-based RPG series, Might & Magic. It's not that the gameplay is horridly bad - it's actually somewhat the opposite. Many fans have liked the variety this installment has brought, especially the six different faction campaigns that you can enjoy, each with their own stories and landscapes of course. This game also has a nice, low-key empire building aspect where you'll manage your city, gather resources and recruit extra armies to help you take down your enemies. The synergy between the heroes and their armies is well-designed too, and not to mention, the game has a nice skirmish mode where you can simply test your skills against an AI whereby both of you are given maximum power.However, all those aside, Might & Magic: Heroes VII is possibly one of the buggiest games ever made for the franchise. The game crashes pretty often and the bugs, although rarely game-breaking, are incredibly annoying. The multiplayer mode is also practically non-existant mainly because it doesn't even work. Worst yet, the developers apparently have given up trying to fix the game and left the game almost as broken as the day it was released.
So, considering all of that, we really couldn't recommend getting Might & Magic: Heroes VII unless you can get it at a "way below market price" range or you'll just end up regretting all the wasted money.
Royal Frontier
Royal Frontier is a fun yet challenging turn-based roguelite where you control a band of heroes in charge of protecting a caravan from various people and creatures with ill intent. Choose which path to travel, which risks to take, which enemies to face, and even who to sacrifice for the “greater good” of the team in this thrilling adventure. The unique part about the game is how it turned a typical turn-based format into something more interactive, allowing players to tap keys during the correct moments to either block a blow and reduce the damage received, or strike a blow to increase the damage dealt.Royal Frontier may be a pretty typical roguelite but it’s a fun game nonetheless! There are so many ways you can customize your team of heroes so as to take on increasingly tougher enemies, and there are several routes that you can take that lead up to the final boss of the chapter. The game offers plenty of replayability as well, allowing players to unlock new characters and blessings at the temple via leveling up.
