[Top 15] Best Story Games to Play Today

TheWriterMe — Wed, 05 May 2021 18:18:10 +0000

Story games are games where you play a role. The genre also goes by ‘role-playing games’ or games that follow a specific plot/storyline. In these games, you play as the main character and build up relationships with potential love interests as you make choices.

You also get to collect glory/strength that will help you further down the road, depending on the game's reward currency. The plot mostly depends on in which direction you’re playing or who your potential interest is, except for the main plot, of course.

You can expect world-turning plot twists and action scenes. It’s an excellent way to spend time and keep your imagination wanting more! Definitely worth the diamond spend.

Here are 15 great games in the genre:

15. Heaven's Secret (Romance Club / Android / Bluestacks / Nox)

Trailer:

This game is extraordinary. The choices you choose for your MC may vary, you can either go on the angel path, collecting angel points along with glory. Then there’s the demon path and the path of Malbonte, of course. This also influences how the other characters treat you, and how your MC thinks and reacts.

The plot follows the main character as she dies and ends up in the “Angel/Demons academy” where she has to choose a path. Later in the game, the villain is introduced, which if you’re following the Malbonte path could turn into a potential love interest.

The plot is excellently written and very entertaining, also the action/fighting scenes are very good and the creation of characters are very realistic. This game is one of Romance Club’s best written yet and has accumulated many lady fans since the release in January 2020.

14. Moonborn (Romance Club / Android / Bluestacks / Nox)

Trailer:

This supernatural mystery follows the MC as she stumbles upon the supernatural. The main attraction in this story are vampires, werewolves, and then the Moonborn of course. Playing as the MC you can collect Fortitude/Diplomacy, which changes the way your MC will react, or the gift of Blood/Moon which either increases her physical power or, telepathic abilities.

The MC can choose one of two love interests: the handsome yet private vampire Victor van Art or the lively werewolf Max Fall. The characters are very realistic and the plot is amazing. There are a few surprises at the end of the game though, that can either bring tears or joy while playing.

Moonborn is a great story game with an exceptionally good plot line! Definitely for those of you who have a thing for the supernatural. The first season of this game was released by Your Story Interactive in August 2018.

13. Dracula A Love Story (Romance Club / Android / Bluestacks / Nox)

Trailer:

This story completely looks at ‘Dracula’ from a different perspective. It’s a modern version of the story following the MC as she finds out the secrets of her past life. It has some elements from the actual movie, just more 21st century.

Making choices throughout the game improves your relationship with either Vlad or Leo, both very intriguing characters, one is a creature of darkness and the other no less. Choosing between the two for me is a little difficult they’re both great.

The plot is written excellently with a twist here and there. The game has a mysterious feel about it and keeps you wondering about what will happen next. There are still a few updates left for the game, so the ending is yet to be revealed, I have my fingers crossed though, for a happy ending.

The first season of this game was released by Your Story Interactive in June 2020.

I wouldn’t call it an everyday love story, but it’s very peculiar and interesting. The characters are customizable and the game offers an outfit for every occasion, some of which are paid options.

The fact that you can choose what your main characters look like, definitely adds to the excitement! The game draws you into the story and keeps you entertained for hours.

As she tries to fix him, many problems creep up, constantly keeping them from being together. The plot is intense and brings a lot of emotions to the surface. The characters and their unique personalities are great, and sometimes even angering.
