Realm Royale vs Strife
Realm Royale
Realm Royale is Hi-Rez Studios' (the developer behind SMITE, Paladins, Tribes: Ascend, etc) interesting take on the battle royale genre, that is by giving it a complete fantasy overhaul and designing it to specifically focus on teamplay.In this game, you'll get to play as one of five classes, namely warrior, mage, hiunter, engineer and assassin, each with their own unique abilities. Unlike many other games that only have modern weapons like guns, this game lets you blast your enemies with spells or slash at them with a sword. As mentioned, the game is very team-based, and hence, it is crucial to have a good mix of classes in your team. Only by working together will you be able to counter other classes, such as having an engineer to put up shields to defend the team from sniper fire, while having an assassin of your own to take out that pesky sniper.
Aside from class abilities, there is no building of any sort in this game. There are also mounts that you can summon when needed, giving you a way to travel vast distances in shorter time. So, in some way, it's more like PUBG than Fortnite.
Realm Royale retains the competitive gameplay that makes battle royale games so addictive to play while presenting the battle royale community with a nice new, fantasy-infused twist. It's hard to say whether this new version of battle royale of theirs will help propel the game to the top, but what we know for sure is that if you're a fan of the genre, this is a game you'll want to try.
Strife
Strife is a MOBA that balances both its casual and competitive aspects perfectly, despite containing quite a number of standard MOBA fare. The game is an easy game to pick up and thus, is really newbie-friendly. Not to mention, the skill ceiling in the game is lower than that of more competitive MOBAs, further increasing its approachability to players new to the MOBA genre. Furthermore, despite the smaller hero pool, the crafting and pet systems made the heroes in the game so much more customizable and diverse. The shared gold system in Strife also allows for a generally more stress-free match, particularly for the support class and carries.If you would like a break from the overly-intense and sometimes toxic matches in DotA 2 or LoL, perhaps you could consider Strife as a good casual alternative!
