Magic Duels: Origins vs World of Tanks: Blitz
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.
World of Tanks: Blitz
World of Tanks: Blitz is the so-called mobile version of one of the world's most popular tank MMO game, World of Tanks (WoT). Due to being a mobile game, the gameplay in World of Tanks: Blitz feels a tad bit more arcade-like and much more fast-paced as compared to the original. However, similar to WoT, the game offers players a wide range of tanks of varying make and models as well as capabilities and roles on the battlefield. Like Hearthstone, the game also allows cross platform gaming where players using iOS, Android, Mac and Windows players can participate with each other, though admittedly, playing on mobile might turn out to be a disadvantage and the whole battle may feel less realistic.In some way, World of Tanks: Blitz can be a nice and easy way for new players to experience the fun that the realistic tank battles in WoT can bring, but if they realized that they enjoyed the game a lot, then these players might want to consider downloading and installing the tens of gigabytes of data that World of Tanks comes with for a much more engaging and naturally, realistic experience.
