Heroes of the Banner vs Kingdom Classic
Heroes of the Banner
Heroes of the Banner is a tower defense game with a nice little twist. Unlike Kingdom Rush’s barracks, the towers in this game can only house 1 hero each and can be categorized into 3 main tower types (arrow, cannon and magic). You can also recruit more and better heroes at the tavern by various means of summoning. Each of your heroes will have their own special skill that you can use during combat at the cost of mana. The game even gets gradually more difficult with the introduction of boss waves as well as the many different types of creeps. However, with medals and forgestones obtained from completed matches, you can upgrade your hero’s skills and forge your heroes’ equipments to boost their stats up to handle the much tougher creeps.If you like games like Pockie Defense or Kingdom Rush, Heroes of the Banner is definitely the game for you! So, go and try it out now!
Kingdom Classic
Kingdom Classic is a pretty challenging and yet entertaining, 2D game that also happens to be one of the more innovative tower defense games in recent years. Developed and published by indie companies, this game puts you in the role of a crown-totting king or queen who is setting out to find a suitable spot to settle down and build his or her own kingdom from the ground up.There aren't a lot of kingdom building in this game though. Aside from upgrading your main "base" which starts off being a simple campfire, you will only build and upgrade certain structures like farms, walls, and towers. The game also uses a really simple coins-based system where you rely on the coins you earn to do practically everything, from converting wild men in camps into your kingdom's loyal subjects to powering up special stats-boosting shrines, to unlocking new stone upgrades, and even to upgrading your very walls.
Your kingdom will be under constant attack by creatures from otherworldly dimensions every night, and hopefully by then, you would have some defenses up and ready. These creatures will become increasingly harder to kill, more in variety, and more in numbers, so you will need to ensure that your kingdom's defenses are sufficient to meet the threat.
Due to its difficulty, you might want to check out some of the guides out there after trying a round or two on your own, just so you won't pass up on this amazing game. Even with the guides though, you will still need to put in a good deal of effort and strategic thinking just to make it to Day 50 let alone Day 100. So, if you're a fan of tower defense-like games, don't mind pixel art, and enjoy a good challenge, Kingdom Classic is an indie game you will want to buy.
