Battlefield 1 vs Europa Universalis: Rome
Battlefield 1
Battlefield 1 is the first of the highly-popular, first-person action-shooter game franchise, Battlefield. This game takes you back to World War 1 where you'll be able to get involved in every global conflict during that period of time, from the cities of France, the vast Arabian deserts, or the Italian Alps. You can take control massive tanks, Behemoths, dreadnoughts and airships or even agile biplanes in addition to shooting guns and throwing grenades. The best part in this game is its large-scale (up to 64 players) multiplayer mode that will thrust you right into the heart of action. Play as an infantry, a cavalry unit or even a tank operator as you coordinate with your team to take the battlefield and win the match. Of course, there are many different game modes and each of them will give you specific goals to complete in order to win.If you're looking for a large-scale, team-based MMOFPS action, you needn't look far - Battlefield has always dominated this sector of the action-shooter genre and honestly, you'll be missing out if you haven't had the chance to try this game. EA Games has also recently reworked the old Battlefield 1 so that it'll be able to compete on the same level as recent modern-day shooters. This is a great thing mainly because you'll now have a ton of other players to play the game with.
Europa Universalis: Rome
Europa Universalis: Rome brings players back to the ancient ages where Roman, Celtic, Greek, Egyptian and six other civilizations reigned dominant across the game's 53 different factions. Set in between the years 280 B.C. and 27 B.C, you'll get to not only rule but also guide the growth of your very own nation from being a fledgling into a country that the world will need to reckon with (if there are any nations left that you have yet to conquer or brought under your rule). The game retained much of what made the Europa Universalis franchise such as a success, including beautifully deisgned 3D topological maps, historically-accurate figure and events, as well as an insanely in-depth political landscape where you can forge an alliance as easily as you break one.There are also plenty of exciting changes and new features in this installment though. The important characters in the governance of your nation, for example, will develop new traits on their own through their interactions with other people in the game, much like how a human would, giving the game more of a challenge due to all the unpredictability. The military AI used here has been completely revised as well. In addition to the usual 32-player co-op, you can now play competitively against other players... up to 32 of them!
Europa Universalis: Rome is a decade old and as such, you may need to tap into some of the mods made by the game's community to help bring the game to a new level. That said, it's still a really good buy at the current discounted price and if you're a fan of grand strategy games, you should definitely get this one.
