Age of War 2 vs Splendor
Age of War 2
Age of War 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to the popular browser and now mobile game, Age of War. With even more themes this time around, Age of War 2 offers a similar yet equally exciting gameplay but you can now pit the ancient Egyptians against an advanced alien civilization that looks like it came from the Aliens and Predator movies. The graphics has also seen a nice overhaul, though the game retained its cartoonish looks. Of course, let's not forget about the game's more fleshed out upgrades and research system as well.Age of War 2 is definitely a fun and rather unique game that sticks true to its origins. If you enjoy casual strategy (with some elements of tower defense) games, you should definitely check this game out. Don't forget to try the original Age of War too!
Splendor
Splendor is the official digital adaptation of the popular cards-and-chips game of the same name. In this game, you'll work on increasing your prestige by trading gems and developing your town. With time and enough development cards, you may even attract the attention of powerful nobles to gain even more prestige!The gameplay can be a bit harder to get into especially if you have not played the game before, but once you do, you'll realize that the game is actually quite simple to play. Of course, "simple to play" doesn't mean "simple to win" though! You will still need to play a ton of matches before you can develop your own unique strategies which you then use to one-up your opponents. There are also single-player challenges for you to hone your Splendor skills!
This digital adaptation of Splendor stayed true to its original cards-and-chips game, but I find it falls a bit short of its full potential, mainly because it doesn't make full use of what the digital world can offer.
