Magic Duels: Origins vs Tanki Online
Magic Duels: Origins
Magic Duels: Origins is another MMOTCG developed by the same people behind Magic: The Gathering Online. However, this game aims bigger - there are more cards - with over 1300 of them - and has a better crafted and in-depth strategy element to it. Play as the iconic Planeswalker as you experience the new story-driven Amonkhet campaign via its Story Mode, or you can play cooperatively with up to 4 of your friends to take down a Two-Headed Giant. Of course, like most card games, there is also a competitive multiplayer mode where you can test your mettle against players from all around the world, but before you dive into the competitive scene, you might want to hone your skills with its vs-AI mode first.However, like most Magic: The Gathering-based games, the game scene can be rather tough for newcomers to break into due to its higher skill ceiling. As a result, the game became more of niche game for fans of the franchise rather than blowing up on the online gaming scene like Hearthstone did. That is not to say that Hearthstone is any easier to play though - it is simply more accessible to new players.
That said, if you're a fan of Magic: The Gathering, you'll want to play this game. To many, it is definitely way better than Magic Online.
Tanki Online
Tanki Online is an excellent blend of intense and somewhat fast-paced, first-person shooting with some awesome-looking (in an old-school kind of way) tanks. Chasing other players across the map on your tank or ambushing them is surprisingly fun and, in spite of the multiple deaths, the game is extremely entertaining indeed! The game also offers a huge variety of maps, from the tundra to desert battles, and battle modes, both team and solo modes. Players can also customise their tanks by adding camouflage, swapping out turrets and even refitting your tank’s hull. With every increase in rank, players get to unlock new gear, tank models and additional items, like mines too.Playing on Tanki Online is certainly an addictive experience. After all, it's not often you'll get that "just one more match" feeling right after the previous match ended. This is the sort of game that will keep you coming back for more and it’s free to play!
Oh, and for players who love the shiny new Tanki X, they should really play Tanki Online and experience the game at its roots. They may grow to have an increased appreciation for the new and improved game.
