8-Bit Armies vs Age of War 2
8-Bit Armies
8-Bit Armies is a really fun and cute real-time strategy game that is incredibly accessible to players of all preferences not only because of its easy-to-learn gameplay but also the colorful voxel art style that was made "mainstream" by games like Minecraft. Like any strategy game, you'll need to collect resources, build a base and defend it against any intruders by assembling a massive army. Of course, you can use your army for offensive purposes as well and crush your enemies as you set off to conquer the entire map.The best part about this game, aside from all the features mentioned, is that the game is amazingly replayable. The game provides you with tons of game modes ranging from offline single-player campaigns to co-op missions to even multiplayer maps that can support up to 8 players at a time. The AI in this game isn't a pushover either, though you can easily adjust how difficult your AI opponents or allies should be through the game's difficulty settings.
Unlike grand strategy games that aim to overwhelm the new strategy player, 8 Bit Armies is really easy to get into and is very fun to play. However, if you'd like to enjoy the game with other players online, you might want to grab 8-Bit Armies: Arena as well. Despite the lack of players on its servers, you can still play the game with and against your friends.
Age of War 2
Age of War 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to the popular browser and now mobile game, Age of War. With even more themes this time around, Age of War 2 offers a similar yet equally exciting gameplay but you can now pit the ancient Egyptians against an advanced alien civilization that looks like it came from the Aliens and Predator movies. The graphics has also seen a nice overhaul, though the game retained its cartoonish looks. Of course, let's not forget about the game's more fleshed out upgrades and research system as well.Age of War 2 is definitely a fun and rather unique game that sticks true to its origins. If you enjoy casual strategy (with some elements of tower defense) games, you should definitely check this game out. Don't forget to try the original Age of War too!
