Battle Carnival vs Heroes Arena
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.
Heroes Arena
Heroes Arena is a fun multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) that you can play directly on your mobile devices. The game features the classic MOBA experience, including the 3-laned maps, towers, creeps/minions, bases, jungles and more, as well as having up to 5 players per team... though you can play 3-vs-3 or 1-vs-1 if you like. There is an impressive lineup of heroes from 6 different hero classes for you to play as, each of them can be further customized, ranging from equipments, abilities and runes, to fit your play style. The game even records your gameplay so you can watch the replay or even share it with your friends to brag about the team-kill you've just pulled off.Each match in Heroes Arena is fast-paced - even the matchmaking - and the gameplay is simple to pick up and yet challenging the master. This is perhaps the best alternative game to Arena of Valor or any other mobile classic MOBA games.
