Blazing Core vs Orcs Must Die: Unchained
Blazing Core
Blazing Core is a tactical MMO third-person shooter where you get to team up with two or five other players to battle in an arena while playing as a cool-looking Mech Knight. The game is currently in beta but it already exudes its potential of becoming the next eSports game by offering an interesting combination of mechs, weapons, and abilities, a ranked competitive mode, as well as a decently designed map.Granted that the game doesn't really have a lot going for it at the moment, mainly because it's still in beta and the devs still have plenty to do to make it better, but Blazing Core does look like a MOBA that might just appeal to competitive players everywhere. The game is coming to open beta on Sept 7th so you can get a chance to try the game out yourself!
Orcs Must Die: Unchained
Orcs Must Die: Unchained is the free to play version of the popular Orcs Must Die game franchise. Being the third installment of the said franchise, the game still features the series' iconic tower defense-like (but with traps) gameplay but it has added a new multiplayer aspect that seem to combine the popular MOBA genre with tower defense, providing the game with a more competitive side. Interestingly, the game even let you decide which creeps you want to deploy, giving players more flexibility to craft the commonly AI-controlled element to suit their intentions be it to defend their own core or to heighten the offensive and put pressure on the opposing team's defenses. Of course, let's not forget about the franchise hallmark sense of humor as well - thankfully, this is as much as a part of Orcs Must Die 1 and 2 as it is in this MOBA-like game.As unique as this game is though, Orcs Must Die: Unchained hasn't really taken off into the mainstream, perhaps mainly because the game level-restricts its maps, forcing lower level players to replay the same low-level map over and over until they manage to unlock a new one. Not to mention, many fans of their previous game was not happy that the game has deviated so much from its original. However, if you're looking for a truly unique MOBA with tower defense elements, Orcs Must Die: Unchained is a very good game to play.
