Castle Clash vs Splendor
Castle Clash
Castle Clash is perhaps one of the most marketed mobile MMO strategy game aside from Clash of Clans. The game features an addictively competitive gameplay where players will build and design their own bases, complete with defenses, heroes and their own army. They can also send their armies out to conquer other players. However, the game opted to include some elements of RPG into its gameplay, allowing players to use their armies to battle epic bosses with friends, have intense hero-vs-hero showdowns, or be part of a massive Guild-on-Guild war. The game even has co-op modes for those who aren't huge fans of PvP as well as adorable pets to collect.Castle Clash is perfectly designed for fans of games like Clash of Clans, and though it may not be as popular as the latter, it is still a pretty good alternative game to play. Do give it a try!
Splendor
Splendor is the official digital adaptation of the popular cards-and-chips game of the same name. In this game, you'll work on increasing your prestige by trading gems and developing your town. With time and enough development cards, you may even attract the attention of powerful nobles to gain even more prestige!The gameplay can be a bit harder to get into especially if you have not played the game before, but once you do, you'll realize that the game is actually quite simple to play. Of course, "simple to play" doesn't mean "simple to win" though! You will still need to play a ton of matches before you can develop your own unique strategies which you then use to one-up your opponents. There are also single-player challenges for you to hone your Splendor skills!
This digital adaptation of Splendor stayed true to its original cards-and-chips game, but I find it falls a bit short of its full potential, mainly because it doesn't make full use of what the digital world can offer.
