Battle Carnival vs Gigantic
Battle Carnival
Battle Carnival is a unique MMO shooter game that attempts to combine the strategy that goes into character-switching in character-based shooters like Overwatch with the somewhat arcade-like gameplay that the fans of the age-old yet iconic franchise, Counter Strike, might be very familiar with. Featuring 7 early access characters that you can access right from the start, the game puts a lot of emphasis on the roles these characters can play and how by switching some of them up, your team may be able to counter the enemy's lineup. Of course, knowing how to aim is still a crucial skill needed in any MMO shooter.The game provides 2 game modes at the moment - Demolition and Domination. Demolition is the clear favorite since the 5-vs-5 matches there are usually pretty fast-paced - 3 mins per round and the game can be won simply by winning 5 rounds. Domination, however, is slower-paced and features the "capture and hold the area" gameplay. It's a 6-vs-6 match that can last up to 12 minutes or so. The maps are all very well-designed with multiple flanking and outflanking routes, though some may complain that the maps are confusing and "maze-like".
Battle Carnival is currently in early access and as such, the game does have plenty of problems that need to be fixed, areas that need improving and of course, more features and content that need to be released. The player population is a bit on the low end as well. Regardless, the game does seem to have a potential to fill a niche that buy-to-play shooters have hogged and with changes, it can be better. In the meantime though, you might still want to give the game a try, just so you can let the developers know about your feedback and help them turn the game into a game you'd want to stick around in.
Gigantic
Gigantic is a brand-new and unique MOBA-like game that revolutionizes the genre by infusing elements from an RPG, namely a boss fight, with an objective-based gameplay. Unlike other MOBAs, Gigantic will have players fight for the control of their team’s respective power points to gather up enough power to activate their team’s Guardians – the gryphon Leiran for House Aurion and the serpentine Grenn for House Davaedra. With the Guardians’ help, players from both teams will then battle it out in an attempt to wipe out each other’s Guardians and win the match.In addition to its special art style, there are tons of other details in the gameplay that make it very entertaining and competitive to play. The game is also played in the third-person, which offers players more ways to flank and outflank the enemy. Of course, there is a wide range of heroes in this game as well, each has their own set of skills and playstyle that allow players to gain a drastically different gaming experience every time they try new characters. Best yet, everything in the game, including skins, can be purchased using game cash too!
Gigantic had almost become a game that never was, but by some miracle, it finally made it to its release. We couldn’t imagine not being able to experience the game’s fresh and exciting gameplay, and we’re sure many players - fans of the MOBA genre, especially – will feel the same way too.
