Battle Carnival vs N.O.V.A. 3
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.
N.O.V.A. 3
N.O.V.A. 3 continues the exciting story from the previous game four months after Kal Wardin defeated the Volterites. This time around though, the President of the human coalition has been assassinated and in a rather rash decision, most of the colonies have surrendered to the Volterite Protectorate. Kal tried to keep out of the issue but he feels the need to head back into all the action to save mankind and a restored but now war-torn Earth yet again.With even more to offer, N.O.V.A. 3 is truly a step up from its predecessors. There are more weapons for you to play with, larger multiplayer battles you can dive into, and more varied multiplayer modes. There is even voice chat (for certain devices only) for players to communicate more effectively, allowing players to coordinate better on the battlefield.
Unfortunately, N.O.V.A. 3 is not available on GooglePlay despite being available on iOS and Windows phones. So, if you happen to be an Android user, you might want to check out our list of alternative games or just play N.O.V.A. Legacy.
