Age of Empires: Castle Siege vs Griefhelm
Age of Empires: Castle Siege
Age of Empires: Castle Siege is a mobile spin-off of the popular and classic real-time strategy franchise, Age of Empires. Due to its MMO nature, the gameplay is drastically changed in this version of the game, giving players more of a Clash of Clans feel but with an Age of Empires twist. You'll still get to choose a civilization to play as, build a castle along with strong fortifications, and amass an army to raid other people's castles.Surprisingly, the game was pretty well-received by many of the game's fans and has garnered itself a sizeable following among mobile gamers. Some may even venture as far as to say that this game is much better than Clash of Clans. Well, whether this is true or not, we'll let you decide - try the game now!
Griefhelm
Griefhelm is a realistic 2D medieval sword-fighting game with a Slay the Spire-like progression and a pretty brutal difficulty level in the sense that if you let your opponent get in a couple of hits, you’re dead. Offering several game modes and perks, the game focuses a lot on timing your actions to best your opponent on the battlefield.Since timing is crucial in this game, you’d best be vigilant of the several combat cues your enemies may make a split second before the animation starts. If you do it precisely right, then you might just survive the attacks and even find a few openings of your own to strike. This game is definitely not the mindless hack-and-slash that many other games seem to offer. Every action you take in this game is deliberate and this makes every successful kill so much more satisfying.
Now, all of these fights are scattered across nodes in a progression map that’s somewhat similar to Slay the Spire. What this means is that you’ve got a choice as to which path you want to take and, in this game, you’ll usually have at least 2. Different paths offer different levels and types of challenges, and hence, different rewards so it’s important for you to decide which reward is most worthwhile for you.
To sum up, Griefhelm is truly in a class of its own. I’ve seen many players compare the game disfavorably against Nidhogg and that may be true, but for someone who has only played For Honor before, Griefhelm really brings swordplay to a different dimension… literally (Hint: 2D as opposed to 3D)!
