Griefhelm vs Solitaire Tales Live
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)!
Solitaire Tales Live
Solitaire Tales Live is the highly anticipated sequel to one of the most popular solitaire games on Facebook, Solitaire Tales. Developed by Qublix, this game one-ups the original game by being a whole lot more competitive. You will be able to compete with other players by collecting as many Golden Cards as you can - a gameplay that'll definitely feel similar to fans of Solitaire Tales. Scores for both you and your opponent will be prominently shown so you'll know how well you are doing in comparison. There are also special boosters like the Joker, Undo and more that you can buy to gain an advantage over your opponent. Winning matches will unlock new castles, and hence, new backgrounds as well.Players can also participate in a tournament with 8 other players for a chance at winning a ton of prizes... that is as long as you can come up on top after defeating all the players you are matched up against. But of course, players who just want to play some solitaire can enjoy a more casual match with an AI opponent too.
Solitaire Tales Live is designed with competition in mind and in that regard, the game has been incredibly successful. It's a great alternative game for players who love Solitaire Tales but fancy testing their skills against another human player.
