Duelyst vs XCOM: Enemy Unknown
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.
XCOM: Enemy Unknown
XCOM: Enemy Unknown puts you in charge of a secret paramilitary organization known as XCOM and as its commander, you'll need to build a functional base, manage your resources, constantly improving your technology and give tactical orders to your team when taking on a global alien invasion. The game is, obviously, part of the award-winning turn-based strategy game franchise, XCOM, which is famous for its incredible action sequences, as well as squad management and turn-based combat systems. The game will also see you as a diplomat of sorts as you'll need to interact and negotiate with various governments during your missions.XCOM: Enemy Unknown is one of the best turn-based strategy game there is (and yes, this means until now). However, the game can be quite difficult especially for newcomers to get into, and to truly appreciate the details and the flawless gameplay mechanics, you might need to put in quite a bit of time into the game. But if you do all of that, you'll be richly rewarded with one of the best gaming experience you'll ever get.
