"As the Gods Will" and the upcoming series "The Dark Dice" share striking similarities, both set in high schools where students are thrust into deadly games. These games transform familiar settings into survival arenas, focusing on life-or-death challenges that test the characters' wit, resilience, and morality. The suspense and high stakes create an engaging and thrilling experience. Both series masterfully blend intense survival themes and psychological elements, ensuring a gripping experience for fans of the thriller genre, as students navigate through perilous situations in a constant fight for survival.
These two flicks have the same basic theme - in order to survive - you have to play the diabolical game. However, there is a bit of a difference in the air of the movies.
While Ousama Game stays at the creepier side, following the classic concept of an Asian survival horror movie, As the Gods Will strays into the really bizarre and surreal, with much more fantasy elements. The latter is based on a highly popular horror manga and I for one, prefer AtGW due to the more complex plot and high energy development and pace.
Ousama Game isn't very graphic but As the Gods Will is quite gory.
But if you like the concept of survival games, you will probably like both.
