Command & Conquer vs Rend
Command & Conquer
Command & Conquer (The Ultimate Collection version) compiles all the classic Command & Conquer titles (17 games in total including all expansion packs) you've known and loved into a single collection, allowing you the chance to relive each of the campaign stories and enjoy some good old LAN gameplay (The multiplayer mode has unfortunately been closed until further notice). Build a base, assemble an army and head forth to engage the enemy be it the Brotherhood of Nod or the Global Liberation Army, or turn everything around and play as these very factions. The collection even includes the single first-person shooter game, Command & Conquer: Renegade.So, if you're longing for the nostalgia of playing any of the old-school Command & Conquer titles way into the night, then this is the game collection you'll want to own. For the price of around $25, you can get 17 of the most iconic real-time strategy games in the franchise - it is pretty much worth it.
Rend
Rend is an up-and-coming, Nordic-themed, team-based survival game that is set in a wild and ruthless, fantasy world filled with fantastic creatures, where only the strongest are able to ascend to the realms of the gods. In this game, players are separated into their respective factions at the beginning. They are then given the freedom to explore the many biomes and harvest resources from the environment whether solo or co-operatively. The resources obtained can then be used to craft better weapons and tools or can be reinvested into the faction stronghold to fortify it from potential attacks from players from a rival faction and to advance your base just so you can unlock new technologies. Players have their own skill systems and talent trees as well, and these are the main ways for a player to customize and tweak their characters to their liking.The ultimate goal of the game, however, is to reap as many warrior spirits as you can by battling and defeating rival players and deposit the souls at the Divinity Stone in the middle of your faction base, that is if you're not slain while carrying such precious loot. Somewhat similar to grand strategy games, Rend is more of a continual game. It has game cycles of 2 to 3 months, in which the winning faction of each cycle will get a nice pile of rewards at the end of a cycle.
Rend has a really unique take on the survival genre and this might just give the game the fuel it needs to rise to the top. The game is currently in Alpha and its release date is still TBD.
