0 A.D. vs World of Tanks: Blitz
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.
World of Tanks: Blitz
World of Tanks: Blitz is the so-called mobile version of one of the world's most popular tank MMO game, World of Tanks (WoT). Due to being a mobile game, the gameplay in World of Tanks: Blitz feels a tad bit more arcade-like and much more fast-paced as compared to the original. However, similar to WoT, the game offers players a wide range of tanks of varying make and models as well as capabilities and roles on the battlefield. Like Hearthstone, the game also allows cross platform gaming where players using iOS, Android, Mac and Windows players can participate with each other, though admittedly, playing on mobile might turn out to be a disadvantage and the whole battle may feel less realistic.In some way, World of Tanks: Blitz can be a nice and easy way for new players to experience the fun that the realistic tank battles in WoT can bring, but if they realized that they enjoyed the game a lot, then these players might want to consider downloading and installing the tens of gigabytes of data that World of Tanks comes with for a much more engaging and naturally, realistic experience.
