Nords: Heroes of the North vs Rend
Nords: Heroes of the North
Nords: Heroes of the North is a Viking-themed MMO strategy game that generally resembles Plarium's Viking: War of Clans but is yet quite different. In this game, the realm of Shingård is under siege and it is up to you to forge a ragtag army of Northmen, Orcs, Elves and Dragons to fight for King Björn the Awesome and defend the realm. The game features over 30 different units from 4 different factions along with a variety of heroes that you can build an army with. Satiate the bloodlust of your Norsemen now and send them to fight, complete with full animated battles, for loot and glory in Nords: Heroes of the North!
Rend
Rend is an up-and-coming, Nordic-themed, team-based survival game that is set in a wild and ruthless, fantasy world filled with fantastic creatures, where only the strongest are able to ascend to the realms of the gods. In this game, players are separated into their respective factions at the beginning. They are then given the freedom to explore the many biomes and harvest resources from the environment whether solo or co-operatively. The resources obtained can then be used to craft better weapons and tools or can be reinvested into the faction stronghold to fortify it from potential attacks from players from a rival faction and to advance your base just so you can unlock new technologies. Players have their own skill systems and talent trees as well, and these are the main ways for a player to customize and tweak their characters to their liking.The ultimate goal of the game, however, is to reap as many warrior spirits as you can by battling and defeating rival players and deposit the souls at the Divinity Stone in the middle of your faction base, that is if you're not slain while carrying such precious loot. Somewhat similar to grand strategy games, Rend is more of a continual game. It has game cycles of 2 to 3 months, in which the winning faction of each cycle will get a nice pile of rewards at the end of a cycle.
Rend has a really unique take on the survival genre and this might just give the game the fuel it needs to rise to the top. The game is currently in Alpha and its release date is still TBD.
