Griefhelm vs Heroes of Incredible Tales
Griefhelm
Griefhelm is a realistic 2D medieval sword-fighting game with a Slay the Spire-like progression and a pretty brutal difficulty level in the sense that if you let your opponent get in a couple of hits, you’re dead. Offering several game modes and perks, the game focuses a lot on timing your actions to best your opponent on the battlefield.Since timing is crucial in this game, you’d best be vigilant of the several combat cues your enemies may make a split second before the animation starts. If you do it precisely right, then you might just survive the attacks and even find a few openings of your own to strike. This game is definitely not the mindless hack-and-slash that many other games seem to offer. Every action you take in this game is deliberate and this makes every successful kill so much more satisfying.
Now, all of these fights are scattered across nodes in a progression map that’s somewhat similar to Slay the Spire. What this means is that you’ve got a choice as to which path you want to take and, in this game, you’ll usually have at least 2. Different paths offer different levels and types of challenges, and hence, different rewards so it’s important for you to decide which reward is most worthwhile for you.
To sum up, Griefhelm is truly in a class of its own. I’ve seen many players compare the game disfavorably against Nidhogg and that may be true, but for someone who has only played For Honor before, Griefhelm really brings swordplay to a different dimension… literally (Hint: 2D as opposed to 3D)!
Heroes of Incredible Tales
Heroes of Incredible Tales (HIT) is an action-based, hack-and-slash mobile MMORPG that's both entertaining to play and gorgeous to look at... which is not at all surprising considering that the game is powered by none other than Unreal Engine 4, the powerhouse of choice for many triple A games. That said, the game itself is very easy to pick up and yet quite challenging to master. Featuring stage battles that you must clear out before advancing, the game allows you to choose a character, level him or her, and acquire loot to improve your arsenal. The game also has a pretty engaging storyline that's set in a fantasy medieval era, where the world is plunged, once again, into conflict after an epic battle between the Goddess Eda and the God of Chaos, Virbar.All in all, Heroes of Incredible Tales is definitely the game to play especially if you're looking for an action-intensive game for your mobile device. Once you’re playing it, HIT is definitely a hard game to put down.
