Ballistic Overkill vs Nosgoth
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.
Nosgoth
Nosgoth is an exciting and fun MMO action/TPS game that pits the vampires against the humans in an all-out bloodbath. Gameplay-wise, Nosgoth offers a huge variety of play styles that you can experiment with by trying out the different classes and the perfect loadout (the abilities). There are also a range of game modes that you can try out in the game. In terms of storyline though, the game deviates quite a lot from the original lore in Legacy of Kain, and thus, it may disappoint fans of the original single player games. If you love games like WolfTeam (scaling walls and using claws to attack) or Left 4 Dead (switching sides after a round is done), Nosgoth is a great and unique free-to-play game that you'll enjoy.Unfortunately, the game has been shut down since the end of September last year, but thankfully, we've got a whole list of similar games for you to check out!
