Orcs Must Die: Unchained vs Relic Raiders
Orcs Must Die: Unchained
Orcs Must Die: Unchained is the free to play version of the popular Orcs Must Die game franchise. Being the third installment of the said franchise, the game still features the series' iconic tower defense-like (but with traps) gameplay but it has added a new multiplayer aspect that seem to combine the popular MOBA genre with tower defense, providing the game with a more competitive side. Interestingly, the game even let you decide which creeps you want to deploy, giving players more flexibility to craft the commonly AI-controlled element to suit their intentions be it to defend their own core or to heighten the offensive and put pressure on the opposing team's defenses. Of course, let's not forget about the franchise hallmark sense of humor as well - thankfully, this is as much as a part of Orcs Must Die 1 and 2 as it is in this MOBA-like game.As unique as this game is though, Orcs Must Die: Unchained hasn't really taken off into the mainstream, perhaps mainly because the game level-restricts its maps, forcing lower level players to replay the same low-level map over and over until they manage to unlock a new one. Not to mention, many fans of their previous game was not happy that the game has deviated so much from its original. However, if you're looking for a truly unique MOBA with tower defense elements, Orcs Must Die: Unchained is a very good game to play.
Relic Raiders
Relic Raiders is an action-packed MOBA/fighting game hybrid where you play as a raider of lost and powerful relics. Select from six raiders and engage in a fast-paced and action-packed team-based or free-for-all battles. Fight in varied, ever-changing environments, unlock new skins, and use the terrain to your advantage.There are two game modes: Survival and the standard team deathmatch mode, with the latter having 2v2 and 4v4 variants. The Survival mode is essentially a battle royale. You’ll be dropped into a map with 15 other people - making it 16 in total - to fight against each other in an ever-dwindling map. The goal of both these modes is fairly simple: take out all enemies.
Overall, Relic Raiders is the type of game you’d want to root for. It suffers from several issues, but overall, the game looks like it has a lot of potential. It’s shaping up to be a must-play title. So, give it a shot and start raiding those relics!
