Ballistic Overkill vs Chivalry: Medieval Warfare
Ballistic Overkill
Ballistic Overkill is a great MMOFPS game that has a fun futuristic feel to it! If you find the name familiar, well, that's mainly because the game is based on its very popular free-to-play browser-based counterpart, Ballistic (this version was unfortunately removed in the wake of Ballistic Overkill). In this game, everything previously Ballistic was completely reworked. There are more classes you can play as in addition to the plethora of game modes and maps that you can play in. These classes have their own respective skill trees that you can add points into in order to ‘upgrade’ your character class. There is also plenty of weapons available in this game, and unlike many other shooter games, with the exception of Overwatch, this game has safe rooms with multiple exits so spawn camping isn't too much of an issue.This improved game even features much better graphics - after all, the game is no longer a brwoser game - and the same goes to its music and sound effects too. However, the game is still pretty much a casual shooter (no ranked matches yet) and the matchmaking in this game still require some changes to make matches more balanced and fair for both teams. That said, if you like short, fast-paced matches and arcade-like first-person shooting or slicing (depending on the character you choose), you should definitely try Ballistic Overkill.
Chivalry: Medieval Warfare
Chivalry: Medieval Warfare is a thrilling first-person game where you actually get to assume to role of a chivalrous knight set in the medieval era. Although the game does have an offline mode where players can get familiarized with the controls and the gameplay, which admittedly is somewhat similar to that of a general FPS game, Chivalry is a multiplayer-focused game.The game provides players with exciting competitive online gameplay in which they can besiege castles, raid villages and engage in close-quarter melee combat. The action-based combat also allow you to block incoming blows and adjust your attacks to counter it. There is even an arsenal of up to 60 different melee weapons, a wide variety of siege weapons as well as a nice selection of castle-defending tools including boiling oil and traps.
If you've always longed for a game where you can fight like the knight of old, then you'll definitely want to buy Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. It may not be the only game of such sort on Steam, Playstation of Xbox, but it's possibly among the best ones.
