OGame vs Total War Battles: Kingdom
OGame
OGame may look very simple for a browser-based, space-themed MMO game, but it has plenty of fun features in store for you regardless of whether you are a hardcore player or a casual one. The game has been around for roughly more than a decade now, a fact which is testament to its appeal to the gaming community.The premise of this MMORPG is quite simple. You are a colonizer. You land your troops and society into a planet of your choosing, and then it is your job to mine that planet for resources to support your forces’ colonization and settlements. In addition, you have to manage those resources to both feed and support your fledgling settlements while also transforming it militarily until it becomes a force to reckon with.
OGame is definitely an ideal game for those who want to play an MMO without having to spend too much time on it. Best of all, you only need to sign up with your email and you're in!
Total War Battles: Kingdom
Total War Battles: Kingdom is the free-to-play version of a Total War game that is available on the mobile platform. Set in the medieval times, the game perfectly captures how things were back then - an era filled with almost constant skirmishes and conflicts between lords and fledgling kingdoms. The gameplay mechanics are pretty well-done despite being somewhat restricted - you can only bring a maximum of 9 battalions into battle, for example, and it does retain most of the Total War archetypes like city-building, army training, and battles.Unfortunately, Total War Battles: Kingdom definitely pales in comparison to any of the games in the main series mainly because it fell victim to one of the worst pitfalls in the free-to-play gaming industry: microtransactions. Don’t expect to get far into the game without spending real money first, but if you still choose to persevere, it would probably take you weeks of constant playing to get your kingdom somewhere solid enough for you to hold your own.
That said, the game is still a pretty decent albeit casual installment of the Total War series. Fans of the franchise or of casual MMO strategy games on the mobile platform may want to give the game a try.
