CastleVille Legends vs Griefhelm
CastleVille Legends
CastleVille Legends is a rather interesting and fast-paced medieval-fantasy-themed game. In this game, you are called upon to push back the Gloom – the curse that was once placed on the realm by an envious wizard, and restore the realm to its former beauty! However, to do this as well as helping your kingdom to grow, you’ll need to manage your resources and accumulate coins by selling the goods produced. Occasionally, you may even encounter trapped inhabitants of the realm that will require your rescue! In return, they will help you recover ancient treasures by exploring places of legend in the game. Although the gameplay can be very monotonous after some time, the game provides quests to shake things up a bit.Unfortunately, like Castleville, CastleVille Legends has been shuttered by Zynga and will not be returning anytime soon.

Griefhelm
Griefhelm is a realistic 2D medieval sword-fighting game with a Slay the Spire-like progression and a pretty brutal difficulty level in the sense that if you let your opponent get in a couple of hits, you’re dead. Offering several game modes and perks, the game focuses a lot on timing your actions to best your opponent on the battlefield.Since timing is crucial in this game, you’d best be vigilant of the several combat cues your enemies may make a split second before the animation starts. If you do it precisely right, then you might just survive the attacks and even find a few openings of your own to strike. This game is definitely not the mindless hack-and-slash that many other games seem to offer. Every action you take in this game is deliberate and this makes every successful kill so much more satisfying.
Now, all of these fights are scattered across nodes in a progression map that’s somewhat similar to Slay the Spire. What this means is that you’ve got a choice as to which path you want to take and, in this game, you’ll usually have at least 2. Different paths offer different levels and types of challenges, and hence, different rewards so it’s important for you to decide which reward is most worthwhile for you.
To sum up, Griefhelm is truly in a class of its own. I’ve seen many players compare the game disfavorably against Nidhogg and that may be true, but for someone who has only played For Honor before, Griefhelm really brings swordplay to a different dimension… literally (Hint: 2D as opposed to 3D)!
