Stormfall: Age of War vs Total War Battles: Kingdom
Stormfall: Age of War
Stormfall: Age of War is one of the most successful MMORTS games Plarium has ever developed. In this game, you will need to learn how to manage your empire’s resources and army as you grow slowly into a mighty force that the world will be forced to reckon with. Attack or ally with other players to gain benefits, in the form of pillaged resources or reinforcements, for your empire. Learn the ways of the Lost Art to improve your buildings as well as to unlock new units, contraptions and even beasts. Coordinate with your allies and guild, and all the other empires will gradually fall at your feet. So, do you have what it takes to forge your own legacy and make sure that history takes note of your empire?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.
