8-Bit Armies vs Crowfall
8-Bit Armies
8-Bit Armies is a really fun and cute real-time strategy game that is incredibly accessible to players of all preferences not only because of its easy-to-learn gameplay but also the colorful voxel art style that was made "mainstream" by games like Minecraft. Like any strategy game, you'll need to collect resources, build a base and defend it against any intruders by assembling a massive army. Of course, you can use your army for offensive purposes as well and crush your enemies as you set off to conquer the entire map.The best part about this game, aside from all the features mentioned, is that the game is amazingly replayable. The game provides you with tons of game modes ranging from offline single-player campaigns to co-op missions to even multiplayer maps that can support up to 8 players at a time. The AI in this game isn't a pushover either, though you can easily adjust how difficult your AI opponents or allies should be through the game's difficulty settings.
Unlike grand strategy games that aim to overwhelm the new strategy player, 8 Bit Armies is really easy to get into and is very fun to play. However, if you'd like to enjoy the game with other players online, you might want to grab 8-Bit Armies: Arena as well. Despite the lack of players on its servers, you can still play the game with and against your friends.
Crowfall
Crowfall boasts as being the world's first throne war simulator where it mixes the best elements from the popular "Game of Thrones" TV show with MMOs like EVE Online. The game features an open world PvP, a player-driven economy, action-based combat and destructible environments which you can then use to your advantage when fortifying your own castle or attacking your enemy's castle. Crowfall's campaigns are pretty unique due to its varying campaign rulesets as well. Each different ruleset will give you an entirely different experience of the game. The game difficulty will even gradually increase over time, making teamwork paramount to survival.Crowfall also has a sandbox element to it in the form of its Eternal Kingdom. In this game, you'll be given a piece of land in an instanced zone to build your empire. Much like a Tetris or a jigsaw puzzle game, you can then buy extra parcels of land that comes in different shapes and sizes and add them to your Eternal kingdom to expand it. You could even grant your land to appointed vassals to rule as they please as long as they pay their dues to you, the King or Queen, and interact with your "subjects" turning your Eternal Kingdom into some sort of a social hub for you and your friends or guildmates to hang out.
Let's not forget about Crowfall's ridiculous (in a good way) amount of character class customization and advancement, allowing you to build your character literally whichever way you like.
Sounds like just the game you've been looking for? Well, if you would like to experience a Game of Thrones-like political intrigue coupled with some epic warfare that plays out on a massive scale, Crowfall's the game you'd want to keep a close eye on.
