Age of Empires: Castle Siege vs Magic Duels: Origins
Age of Empires: Castle Siege
Age of Empires: Castle Siege is a mobile spin-off of the popular and classic real-time strategy franchise, Age of Empires. Due to its MMO nature, the gameplay is drastically changed in this version of the game, giving players more of a Clash of Clans feel but with an Age of Empires twist. You'll still get to choose a civilization to play as, build a castle along with strong fortifications, and amass an army to raid other people's castles.Surprisingly, the game was pretty well-received by many of the game's fans and has garnered itself a sizeable following among mobile gamers. Some may even venture as far as to say that this game is much better than Clash of Clans. Well, whether this is true or not, we'll let you decide - try the game now!
Magic Duels: Origins
Magic Duels: Origins is another MMOTCG developed by the same people behind Magic: The Gathering Online. However, this game aims bigger - there are more cards - with over 1300 of them - and has a better crafted and in-depth strategy element to it. Play as the iconic Planeswalker as you experience the new story-driven Amonkhet campaign via its Story Mode, or you can play cooperatively with up to 4 of your friends to take down a Two-Headed Giant. Of course, like most card games, there is also a competitive multiplayer mode where you can test your mettle against players from all around the world, but before you dive into the competitive scene, you might want to hone your skills with its vs-AI mode first.However, like most Magic: The Gathering-based games, the game scene can be rather tough for newcomers to break into due to its higher skill ceiling. As a result, the game became more of niche game for fans of the franchise rather than blowing up on the online gaming scene like Hearthstone did. That is not to say that Hearthstone is any easier to play though - it is simply more accessible to new players.
That said, if you're a fan of Magic: The Gathering, you'll want to play this game. To many, it is definitely way better than Magic Online.
