Counter-Strike: Global Offensive vs Heroes Evolved
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is a testament to how far the Counter Strike franchise had come... from its humble beginnings as a mod to now a thriving series with millions of players, a robust skins-trading market and a rather sizeable cut of the eSports pie. That said, the game offers fans and new players alike a much improved gameplay though most of the stuff in it is still pretty much the usual, familiar sort. There are tons of weapons for you to play with, as well as a ridiculously wide range of skins to make the weapons you have in your loadout to look fantastically unique.However, being a very competitive game, the amount of toxicity in this game can reach unbearable levels. Despite Valve's best efforts, brazen hackers still roamed the game and the rage... ohhh, it's real alright. To play with random players will usually mean you'll need to have a really thick skin and a zen-like focus on the game, but playing multiplayer with your friends can still be pretty fun though.
Heroes Evolved
Heroes Evolved is a relatively unknown MOBA game - especially in this day and age where almost every gamer know what League of Legends and DotA 2 are. However, this shouldn't discourage you from experiencing the unique gameplay that this game has to offer. Fundamentally, the concept of the game is still the same old creep-killing and tower-pushing mechanics, but the few yet significant features added make a whole lot of difference. The game also has a ton of heroes that you can collect and play as, each having their own roles to play in a match, be it as a tanker, a carry or a ganker.The best thing about Heroes Evolved is the less intense atmosphere, making it much less stressful for newcomers to experience the game and the genre without getting flamed within minutes of playing a match. Not to mention, the pace of the game is somewhat casual as well so if you can no longer afford pouring hours into LoL or DotA 2, well... this game is here for you. Though, if you want to be competitive, this game also has a couple of competitive eSports-worthy tournaments throughout the year.
We'd say that Heroes Evolved is an excellent "more casual" alternative for both avid MOBA players and even new players who are trying out the genre for the first time.
