Pick Your Poison
Choose Castlevania: SotN if...
Castlevania: SotN on mobile delivers a cherished classic to a new platform, but be cautious. If you're willing to use a controller, and can workaround some performance issues detailed in the reviews, its retro allure shines; however, those relying on touch controls alone may find the experience frustrating and better to skip this port.
Choose Where Winds Meet if...
Where Winds Meet is an impressive but flawed open-world RPG. Its rich content, gorgeous graphics, and combat and character creation makes it's worth checking out, especially for dedicated mobile gamers on high-end devices who enjoy Wuxia-inspired settings and are willing to overlook some technical hiccups. However, players with older devices or those seeking polished instant-play experiences should wait or perhaps skip this game in its current state.
