Europa Universalis IV vs Iron Sky
Europa Universalis IV
Europa Universalis IV is the fourth game in the award-winning Europa Universalis franchise. Similar to its predecessors, the game has everything you'd need to build your own nation from the ground up and guide it through the ages. The freedom in which you get to customize your giverning style, your nation and even your game is simply ridiculous (in a good way) and of course, the best selling point of this series is that almost everything is based on accurate historical references, be it a historical figure or an event. This time around you'll get to grow your nation over a much wider span of history, arrange royal marriages, form coalitions, support rebels in proxy wars and more. You can even cooperate with up to 32 different players to govern a single nation. The multiplayer mode apparently now has an improved chat and a new matchmaking system.Unfortunately, the major downside about this game is that the developers, Paradox Interactive, have apparently "sold-out" by adding in features that should have been in the original game into DLCs that players actually have to pay extra for, ending up spending over $200 for just a single game. Not to mention, many players have complained that the DLCs they release are priced at the same price point despite having progressively lower amount of content.
That said, the game is still an epic masterpiece and a worthy sequel to the Europa Universalis series, but the game's hardcore player base is admittedly not happy, and honestly, we wouldn't recommend getting this game unless you can get all of the DLCs dirt cheap... maybe like in a bundle.
Iron Sky
Iron Sky is a brand-new MMO strategy game that puts a pretty cool sci-fi twist to World War II by setting the game on an alien planet called Atlantis. In this game, you’ll get to play as either the Azure Alliance (the Allies) or the Imperial Empire (the Soviet Union) in the war that had broken out on the planet. Build bases to expand your influence, amass a cybernetic army with amazing advanced tech, and defeat all the enemies who stand in your way.Iron Sky doesn’t really bring anything new to the MMO strategy genre, but it’s a pretty solid sci-fi-themed MMO game that you can play for free directly on your browser. Despite its somewhat confusing story, the game does have a fun gameplay, cool graphics, and awesome effects. If you enjoy playing online strategy games, you might want to give this game a go.
