A new WWE game is on its way to mobile, and it’s coming courtesy of NetherRealm Studios, who are of course known for the Mortal Kombat series, but also for Injustice: Gods Among Us (Free). The game likely won’t be a realistic take on WWE action, based on promises that the game “will feature epic Superstar battles in a fantastically re-imagined WWE world" according to the press release. That’s probably a good thing, as NetherRealm is not exactly known for their subtle realism. I mean, have you ever played a Mortal Kombat game? No images of the game are available yet, but I’d imagine something like Injustice but with WWE characters:
WWE Immortals will be free-to-play, and NetherRealm is actually one of the few developers from the core gaming world that has actually managed to do well in free-to-play. The game has been a consistent presence in the top grossing charts, while actually being quite popular with players: our forum thread has 312 pages of posts! We also have written two guides for it. So even free-to-play skeptics out there might want to keep an eye on this one, though we sadly don’t know much beyond “this is a game that exists from this developer" and that it’s coming in 2015.
Anyone have specific recommendations out of these titles?
I read Link of Heart is decent... These titles aren't appealing to be honest, their very best was Asdivine Heart.
Four Stars:
Chronus Arc, Alphadia Genesis, Fanatic Earth
Three & Half Stars:
Chrome Wolf, Soul Historica
Three Stars:
Bonds of the Skies, Link of Hearts, Fortuna Magus
Mr. Musgrave: "I've always said that of all the developers Kemco uses, the two with the most potential are EXE Create and Hit-Point."
Hit-Point: "Really good at coming up with interesting premises and doing almost nothing with them"
Chronus Arc, Bonds of the Skies
EXE Create: "Very solid efforts with enjoyable characters" ... "extremely inconsistent" translations
Alphadia Genesis, Fanatic Earth
...
Magitec: "Better-than-average plots" ... "[continues] to drop the ball on some of the more basic aspects of a good RPG"
Chrome Wolf, Soul Historica
WorldWideSoftware: "Relible-to-a-fault" ... "lack of interest in trying anything interesting or complex"
Link of Hearts, Fortuna Magus
Sheesh, faint praise indeed. They're only a dollar, but each is probably capable of consuming a week of my life, which is by most accounts, worth more.
Hey Shaun! Answer Marvin!
I guess, upon re-reading this post, his answer would be that we should read his reviews.
I actually have been watching Chronus Arc so I may go that way
Sorry I'm late, Aaron, but Shaun *can* sleep and did! Check my reply below to Wizard of Odyssey. I hope it helps you and Marvin!
I have an enormous backlog of Kemco titles, so it's time for me to just say no for awhile.
RIP in peace Shaun. LOL! :P
That's 2 times the peace!
Finally, alphadia genesis! Yay!
Good sale, looked and bought the 4 star ones by Shaun. Figure if I like them will try the 3 or 3.5 ones. Might as well use Shaun knowledgeable reviews.
Please make this easy for us. If we were to only play ONE Kemco RPG that's currently on sale, it would be ____________ (fill in the blank)!
(who am I kidding, even if I got all of these -- and for all I know, I probably did on a previous sale -- I'll never play them. But digital hoarding is fun.)
If you buy only one, Fanatic Earth. If there's room for two, Chronus Arc. If you're hungry for thirds, Alphadia Genesis. I wouldn't bother with the others in this context unless you have lots of time and a major interest in mediocre RPGs.
LOL you are the best, Shaun!
Shaun would you pay $1 for Fanatic Earth or $4 for Asdivine Hearts? You can't say both.
Unless that $3 is very important to you, I would buy Asdivine Hearts. Easily Kemco's strongest title. That said, it will certainly be a buck one day, so if you're just going to sit on it, might as well buy the one on sale now.
Hi Shaun, where would you put Doom & Destiny compared to these titles as it is now also $1.
It's a fair bit better than all of these. Definitely recommend it.
Bought. Thank you.
I bought Chronus Arc since I've been following it but with the recommendation I'll get Fantaic Earth too
Fanatic Earth****
"Philip, have you still got the child locks on?" "Safety first, Shaun."
Thanks, Shaun of the Dead!
