Ancient War vs Boom Beach
Ancient War
Ancient War is a brand-new MMO RPG/strategy game that you can play for free directly on Facebook. In this game, you will need to choose one of 3 factions to join, namely Thebes, Athens or Sparta, before setting off to develop your city-state, recruit legendary heroes and their associated battalions, and take on your enemies.The gameplay here is pretty generic in many ways, but there are a couple features that stand out although they are not entirely unique. One such feature is the world map. Unlike many other games within the same genre, the world map feels a lot more real and alive as you can see the boundaries of each faction being drawn and re-drawn as players of the same faction work together to conquer other faction's city-states.
Another feature is the faction hierarchy. Each faction is governed by the players themselves and only the strongest players will be able to climb the ranks and assume one of the 4 important positions in the hierarchy. If you are the best of the lot, you can even be appointed King.
Ancient War isn't exactly a refreshingly unique browser MMO game, but it is not your run-of-the-mill game either. The gameplay is quite decent and the epic Greek-theme that it has may appeal to you as well.
Boom Beach
Boom Beach is an excellent alternative to Supercell's immensely popular and highly competitive MMO strategy game, Clash of Clans. Similar to Clash of Clans in so many ways, the game's gameplay mainly puts you through the motion of designing and building up your base, defending it from invaders and attacking other players' bases in return. However, Boom Beach has a more militaristic theme, though it is, oddly enough, less punishing to more casual players. You don't really have to check on your base as frequently, and its matchmaking aspect is much better adjusted so that you'll get to face enemies that you have a chance of defeating and yet is still quite challenging as well.Boom Beach is definitely a game that's designed to attract players that are on-the-fence about Clash of Clans and yet is curious enough to want to try a game like Clash of Clans. If you happen to be one of these people, then what are you waiting for? It's time to storm the beach!
