Griefhelm vs Kingdom Rush
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)!
Kingdom Rush
Kingdom Rush is one of the top tower defense games that you can play for free. After gaining its fame on ArmorGames' website, the franchise took off at alarming speeds as huge number of players from all around the world began to take on the game's challenge to protect the kingdom from the variety of enemies that are trying to rush-attack it. The game is relatively fast-paced for a tower defense game, since there are plenty for you to consider before you even set up your very first tower. Different types of towers play differnt roles and have an advantage over specific enemies, after all. The positions of your towers are also crucial since these positions are fixed on the map and that yuop can't exactly buy more. There are also several spells at your disposal so you can use them when the going gets tough.If you’re a huge fan of tower defense games, Kingdom Rush is one of the modern classics (like Plants vs Zombies) that you should definitely play. It retains many of the classic tower defense format and still manages to bring plenty of its own unique features to the table too. Hours of entertainment and challenge awaits you at Kingdom Rush, so be sure to check it out!
