Battle Carnival vs Faeria
Battle Carnival
Battle Carnival is a unique MMO shooter game that attempts to combine the strategy that goes into character-switching in character-based shooters like Overwatch with the somewhat arcade-like gameplay that the fans of the age-old yet iconic franchise, Counter Strike, might be very familiar with. Featuring 7 early access characters that you can access right from the start, the game puts a lot of emphasis on the roles these characters can play and how by switching some of them up, your team may be able to counter the enemy's lineup. Of course, knowing how to aim is still a crucial skill needed in any MMO shooter.The game provides 2 game modes at the moment - Demolition and Domination. Demolition is the clear favorite since the 5-vs-5 matches there are usually pretty fast-paced - 3 mins per round and the game can be won simply by winning 5 rounds. Domination, however, is slower-paced and features the "capture and hold the area" gameplay. It's a 6-vs-6 match that can last up to 12 minutes or so. The maps are all very well-designed with multiple flanking and outflanking routes, though some may complain that the maps are confusing and "maze-like".
Battle Carnival is currently in early access and as such, the game does have plenty of problems that need to be fixed, areas that need improving and of course, more features and content that need to be released. The player population is a bit on the low end as well. Regardless, the game does seem to have a potential to fill a niche that buy-to-play shooters have hogged and with changes, it can be better. In the meantime though, you might still want to give the game a try, just so you can let the developers know about your feedback and help them turn the game into a game you'd want to stick around in.
Faeria
Faeria is an MMOCCG that brilliantly blends the elements of traditional board games with turn-based tactical and strategic MMOs, set in a disc-world circled by Orobouros, the very first creature, albeit a serpent-like one, that the gods apparently have created. In this game, you will play against other champions or players on a unique, hexagonally-gridded battlefield where the different landscapes play an important role in determining your attack or defense strategy. There are a ton of collectible cards for you to collect and subsequently use to build a deck to bring to battle.Best yet, the game is incredibly easy to learn unlike a lot of the traditional MMOCCG/TCGs, even for players who are new to the genre, and most matches are fast-paced enough to be amazingly engaging, leaving you wanting to dive immediately into another match.
Due to the popularity of games like Hearthstone, similar games have been sprouting all over the internet, making the collectible cards market a tad bit difficult to break into. But with its unique look, feel and gameplay, Faeria is definitely among the few that managed to stand out!
