Boom Beach vs Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth
Boom Beach
Boom Beach is an excellent alternative to Supercell's immensely popular and highly competitive MMO strategy game, Clash of Clans. Similar to Clash of Clans in so many ways, the game's gameplay mainly puts you through the motion of designing and building up your base, defending it from invaders and attacking other players' bases in return. However, Boom Beach has a more militaristic theme, though it is, oddly enough, less punishing to more casual players. You don't really have to check on your base as frequently, and its matchmaking aspect is much better adjusted so that you'll get to face enemies that you have a chance of defeating and yet is still quite challenging as well.Boom Beach is definitely a game that's designed to attract players that are on-the-fence about Clash of Clans and yet is curious enough to want to try a game like Clash of Clans. If you happen to be one of these people, then what are you waiting for? It's time to storm the beach!
Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth
Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth lets you play as the leader of a pioneering group of spacefarers as you set off for the stars in hopes of creating a new civilization in space. The science fiction-themed in this game is a pretty far cry from the usually historical theme in the award-winning Civilization game franchise, but the game was pretty well-done mainly because it contains many of the features that had made Civilization 5 such a resounding success while changing things up a bit, such as replacing religion with affinity, just so everything is relevant to the overall theme of the game. There are also items that you can find on the alien planet that you're trying to colonize which will unlock nice storylines and quests for you to experience. And of course, there's the epic DLC, Rising Tide, which has elevated a mediocre but interestingly-themed game into an impressive one.If you're hoping for a game that's as amazing as Civ 5, Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth might end up disappointing some of you, but if you consider that this is the franchise's first attempt in doing a game that's not history-based, then well, this is a pretty good first attempt for an established, triple-A series.
