Rakshasa vs Victoria
Rakshasa
Rakshasa is a casual browser-based MMORPG that is inspired by the popular Chinese manga series, Rakshasa Street. Featuring an intriguing story that’s set in a world where the living and the dead lives in parallel yet different dimensions, Rakshasa puts you into the shoes of an up-and-coming Spirit Pacifiers, the elite force of summoners who have trained in the art of vanquishing evil supernatural beings while being able to communicate and use the aid provided by friendly spirits, such as the Guardian Spirits. Hone your skills, recruit a team of strong guardians, and battle to put evil spirits back where they belong – behind the seal.Although the game isn't unique in every way, Rakshasa does offer a couple of new features, such as the Narakagati system, along with a very intriguing, supernatural-themed storyline. If you enjoy casual MMOs and are looking for something different; something that has a bit more depth, this is a game you'll want to try!
Victoria
Victoria is a horror-themed match-3 adventure game that begins with a tragic story. The protagonist in this game, Victoria Miller, lost her husband and two children in an incident involving an aggressive poltergeist. Driven by her bitter need for revenge, she decided to pick up the ancient art of hunting supernatural beings and track the poltergeist across the United States in hopes of slaying it.At its core, Victoria is a pretty standard match-3 puzzle game where you’ll need to make matches of 3 or more in order to remove the items from the playing area. Most levels require you to clear away blue tiles by matching over them but sometimes, you may be asked to make specific matches in order to use the many weapons that will eventually be available to you against the supernatural creature you’ll be fighting. However, what allows this game to stand out from the usual match-3 games out there is the creepy atmosphere it provides and the occasional jump scares that's intended to give you a solid jolt from time to time.
Overall, when it comes to immersion, Victoria hits the nail on the head. However, despite the supernatural-fighting bits, the gameplay in this game can be rather simplistic, and after some time, rather mundane. That said, considering that true horror-themed match-3 games can be pretty rare, Victoria might just fit snugly into the gaming niche it is obviously designed for.
