Enslaved: Odyssey To The West Among the titles published, Enslaved: Odyssey To The West (EOTTW) showed a very innovative way of translating the novel’s ancient plot into a Steampunk-styled setting, complete with screens. Eye-catching gameplay, which at the time was not available in games of the same genre The developer is also very creative at organizing the background of an occurrence in a novel differently from the original but also using the same cast of characters, providing a sense of both unusual and familiar, stirring interests and the gamer ‘s willingness to test this.

Top 7 excellent games based on novels (Part 1)

25 October 2020Games Based on BooksSimilar to film, the game needs a solid scenario, tightened at the right moment, and the plot is appealing and appealing. More and more, the necessity for scripting is becoming more and more important-this is also the foundation for indie games (less money, no excessive graphics) to win the game. When there is a limited supply of decent game scripts, or when game developers actually try to create a resonance between various cultural genres, it’s often time for novels and games to get together. In fact, there are many game versions of the novel that have been and are having great success, with the involvement of many “major” writers such as Tolkien, Lovecraft and Tom Clancy. Call of Cthulhu While so many games have been published that are based on character pictures by renowned horror writer HPLovecraft, it’s interesting that only a few items have a story completely based on one of His short stories / romans. Lovecraft ‘s plot is not about superheroes depicting sudden wars, but instead on helpless human beings being destroyed by beasts that even the best of imagination can’t conceive about. That’s why, in addition to the search to discover, investigate where and solve puzzles, the game provides players with very few ammo and essentials, because if you want to live in the grim, mystical world of Call Of Cthulhu: Grim Corners Of The Planet, players need to be very calm to be able to solve the situation quickly and precisely. Call Of Cthulhu: Dark Corners Of The Earth has done a wonderful job of delivering the meaning of the ‘Call of Cthulhu” work to gamers with attractive gameplay and pretty decent graphics compared to games at the same time. Unfortunately, the two sequels of the game were set for release, but were cancelled later, because the remake of movement is now blooming among game studios. Hope to get some interesting news about the game in the coming time [...]

11 October 2020Games Based on MoviesFans have been looking forward to the AAA Harry Potter role-playing game for a long time, and there are so many people who want to be part of this vast, magical universe. However, in addition to the leaked photos of Harry Potter’s role-playing game, no details on the game have been released. It looks like a new Harry Potter AAA game will be released as soon as possible. According to recent reports, Avalanche Software, a subsidiary of Warner Bros., is working to have this game released soon. There have been game reviewers who have shared some videos of the development of the campaign. While this information has not been confirmed, Warner Bros have claimed that the videos are not real. Are all these false facts, or is Warner Bros trying to shield us from us? Harry Potter’s role-playing game would be able to use spells in turmoil along with a finely designed RPG, tighter character classes. Exploration will spread through the schools of magic that everybody enjoys, and even the bosses will feature in the game. Of course, all of this is mere conjecture.

After two years , what is the Harry Potter RPG about to announce ?

27 September 2020Games Based on BooksWarner Bros.Games are preparing to release new games this summer. While waiting for the rumored official announcement of the Harry Potter RPG title, some hope it will stop depending on the old Hogwarts Academy. Hogwart has been over-exploited It can easily be forgotten how many times Harry Potter ‘s key material proceeds to replay the exploration of Hogwarts, particularly because this wizard school is the location of the events of the original series. At this point, however, Hogwarts featured heavily in movie-based games, Lego packs, and even real-world theme parks. And unrelated games like PS4 ‘s Visions of Hogwarts, owing to the success of fans throughout the Harry Potter series. As for the play, the new ‘Harry Potter’ theme from Niantic is Harry Potter: Wizards Unite. Like other Harry Potter media creations like Fantastic Beasts, this game brings players out of Hogwarts to show off the surprises that exist beyond the castle and around the rest of the Wizard World. Released last year, Niantic’s new game is already being changed, introducing players to elements of Harry Potter without having to turn on the lead character. So far, all of the spells used in the Harry Potter universe have just been a few gadgets, and they have been of no use in combat. This definitely won’t get too much reception from players who want to play AAA games, even though it’s set in the Harry Potter world, where most strong wizards prefer to stop combat. Giving players a chance to use Dark Arts, and even forbidden curses, can be one of the better opportunities to reach other undiscovered areas of the Wizard World. Overall, there is a lot of room for a Harry Potter role-playing game that would deliver an interesting new take on the world beyond the original novels. However, if Warner Bros. truly needs to make the most of their investment, keeping away from Hogwarts may be the right way to go on with the new title. [...]
