Brawl Stars vs Strife
Brawl Stars
Brawl Stars is an arena shooter with a couple of pretty nice twist - it has a fun ".IO game" feel to it; the game has destructible environments, and the game snagged an element from the popular battle royale genre, that is the wall of poison gas that's slowly closing in.The game has two main game modes, Free for all and Team mode, where each team consists of 3 players. In many ways, the team mode reminded me of the old Survival mode on Paladins where players all converge to the capture point in the middle of the map to duke it out and determine the last person/team standing; a mode which they had unfortunately scrapped.
Brawl Stars also features tons of unique brawlers for you to play with. Each of them has their own set of special abilities. This, in turn, is quite similar to the character formats used in traditional MOBA games.
From the makers of addictive multiplayer games like Clash Royale and Clash of Clans, Brawl Stars is a new addition to Supercell's repertoire that will make its other successful games proud. It's unique, fun (addictively so at that), and best of all, it caters to a vast majority of players who simply want to enjoy a few 3-minute (or so) competitive matches on their phones.
Strife
Strife is a MOBA that balances both its casual and competitive aspects perfectly, despite containing quite a number of standard MOBA fare. The game is an easy game to pick up and thus, is really newbie-friendly. Not to mention, the skill ceiling in the game is lower than that of more competitive MOBAs, further increasing its approachability to players new to the MOBA genre. Furthermore, despite the smaller hero pool, the crafting and pet systems made the heroes in the game so much more customizable and diverse. The shared gold system in Strife also allows for a generally more stress-free match, particularly for the support class and carries.If you would like a break from the overly-intense and sometimes toxic matches in DotA 2 or LoL, perhaps you could consider Strife as a good casual alternative!
