0 A.D. vs Castle Clash
0 A.D.
0 A.D. is a really unique game not because it is possibly one of the most well-made, open-source, historical real-time strategy games we've ever seen; the game started off as a mod for Age of Empires 2: The Age of Kings but ended up being a standalone game with its own game engine and everything. This is a pretty huge feat and puts 0 A.D. on the same level as other successful mod-turned games like Garry's Mod. However, the game may lose out a bit when it comes to popularity mainly because it's not available on Steam, which happens to be the current largest PC gaming platform, and partly because there isn't a lot of promoting from established gaming media, or marketing, even.That said, the game is incredibly impressive for an under-development and completely free game. You can play as a number of civilizations that has their own graphics and models to set them apart. There are also citizen-soldiers who like in real-life, can switch between gatheirng resources like a civilian and fighting as a soldier depending on need. Unlike certain RTS games that allow you to unlock every branch of the tech tree, this game offers technological tradeoffs between two equally important tech, forcing you to really consider your choices and pick one that fits your play style.
0 A.D. also tries to be as historically accurate as possible, conforming its 3D models and maps to actual historical depictions of the people and land back in the day. The effort into making game realistic is astounding, but of course, the devs have mentioned that if they had to choose between having a feature that's historically accurate or playable, they will definitely choose playable every time... naturally, since this is still mainly a game and all.
So, if you're interested, know that you can get the game for free on their site.
Castle Clash
Castle Clash is perhaps one of the most marketed mobile MMO strategy game aside from Clash of Clans. The game features an addictively competitive gameplay where players will build and design their own bases, complete with defenses, heroes and their own army. They can also send their armies out to conquer other players. However, the game opted to include some elements of RPG into its gameplay, allowing players to use their armies to battle epic bosses with friends, have intense hero-vs-hero showdowns, or be part of a massive Guild-on-Guild war. The game even has co-op modes for those who aren't huge fans of PvP as well as adorable pets to collect.Castle Clash is perfectly designed for fans of games like Clash of Clans, and though it may not be as popular as the latter, it is still a pretty good alternative game to play. Do give it a try!
