Peaky Blinders: Mastermind vs Super Smash Bros
Peaky Blinders: Mastermind
Peaky Blinders: Mastermind is a game that puts you into the shoes of the Shelby crime family as they try to exert their influence and strengthen their grip on their turf. The game is split into several story-driven “missions” featuring time manipulation elements where the goal is to sync up the actions of every member in the group to accomplish the mission objectives. These missions will also allow you to play several members of the Shelby family from Tommy himself to the youngest, Finn.The gameplay here lets you play around with time, making sure that you sync up the actions and movement of the characters you control in each mission just so they could complete the mission as flawlessly and within the shortest time possible. Basically, instead of Tommy, YOU will be acting as the mastermind for the Shelbys in this game!
To make this possible, the game has a timeline bar at the bottom of the game where you control whether time moves forwards or back, much like the forward and rewind button on a tape recorder. While time is moving forward, you can get your characters to do a variety of actions, depending on their specialty. For instance, Tommy has the power of persuasion, allowing you to take temporary control of a persuaded NPC to open doors, pick up certain items, or pull otherwise inaccessible levers for the Shelbys.
Each mission comes with its own episodic mini-stories that you can enjoy. These stories aren’t linked to the TV series, naturally, since the series is already in its 5th season, and this game is set in its first.
In a nutshell, Peaky Blinders: Mastermind is a fan-service game that really made its mark. The gameplay is incredibly fun and strategic, and for those perfectionists, a challenging game to get a perfect run on. Plus, as fans of the TV series, it’s a real treat to be able to enjoy some new storylines, albeit short and being set in the first season of the show, that you have some measure of control over… you know, due to being the mastermind and all.
Super Smash Bros
Super Smash Bros is the latest installment of the Super Smash Bros series where Nintendo simply mashes up every character they have ever created into a single and pretty much arena-like game. The range of characters you'll have access to is simply incredible since you'll be able to spot some really iconic faces (Link, Mario or Pikachu, for example) along with some more recent and hence, still-obscure ones like Palutena and Little Mac.The gameplay feels a lot like a standard Street Fighter game with the exception that the chraracters are more varied and thus, the abilities you'll have access to will obviously be similarly so as well. However, combos ruled in these games and you'll need to be mindful of this when you are customizing move sets for your characters. Best yet, you can battle with up to 4 of your friends locally or via online, or even create new battlefields (a.k.a. stages) to play in.
Super Smash Bros have always been the perfect melting pot of a game for all the unique characters in the Nintendo many and widely varied universes. If fighting games are your thing, you simply mustn't miss out this amazing game.
