Heroes of the Banner vs Splendor
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!
Splendor
Splendor is the official digital adaptation of the popular cards-and-chips game of the same name. In this game, you'll work on increasing your prestige by trading gems and developing your town. With time and enough development cards, you may even attract the attention of powerful nobles to gain even more prestige!The gameplay can be a bit harder to get into especially if you have not played the game before, but once you do, you'll realize that the game is actually quite simple to play. Of course, "simple to play" doesn't mean "simple to win" though! You will still need to play a ton of matches before you can develop your own unique strategies which you then use to one-up your opponents. There are also single-player challenges for you to hone your Splendor skills!
This digital adaptation of Splendor stayed true to its original cards-and-chips game, but I find it falls a bit short of its full potential, mainly because it doesn't make full use of what the digital world can offer.
