Duelyst vs Melting World Online
Duelyst
Duelyst is a free-to-play MMOCCG with an added turn-based and strategic gameplay and a rather epic storyline set in the beautiful world of Mythron. Although you'll be building decks using cards from five different factions and playing them, the cards will turn into awesome-looking 2D sprites when played on the board. Aside from the fast-paced gameplay, the board itself is also tactically designed, making the positions of each of your heroes incredibly important. The game has some really fast-paced mechanics and several game modes as well.Duelyst focuses more on online gameplay and as such, this game can be a tad bit competitive, but if you're not the "climb-the-ranks" sort, you can still enjoy the game as it is.
Melting World Online
Melting World Online is a strategy RPG set in what seems to be an alien world. Featuring a unique old school-look, this game more than makes up for its dated graphics with an in-depth and surprisingly strategic gameplay. Aside from the timed turn-based combat, which is modelled after Fallout games' VATS system and is designed to keep you on your toes, you'll also get to assemble your own team of mechs (along with their mech pilots) to bring into the battlefield.The most intriguing part of the gameplay, however, is how you can customize your mech. Instead of giving you fixed slots to put your weapons and armor in, you get a grided box for each part of your mech, namely the cockpit, left and right arms, the body and left and right legs, where you can attempt to squeeze in as many weapons and armor as you can. After all, the more weapons you have means the more attacking options you'll have, while having more armor means your mech can take a lot more punishment from the enemy before going down.
Melting World Online may not win any prizes when it comes to its nostalgic 90s visuals, but its gameplay is definitely worth a look, especially if you're a huge fan of strategy games.
