Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars vs Total War Battles: Kingdom
Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars
Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars brings the infamous Kane nad his Brotherhood of Nod back to once again launch a massive global massault on the Global Defense Initiative (GDI), starting that is known as the Third Tiberium War. Aside from the grand storyline, the game also offer three amazing campaigns containing over 35 single-player missions, three warring factions, Hollywood-laden action sequences and the same great real-time strategy gameply that had defined the series. Interestingly, there are some new features added, including the helpful side bar which allows you to manage your base while commanding your armies; choosing one of the many play styles for your AI opponents; as well as a more complex and in-depth system to combine units to create amazing super-units that you want.Although the game does have a multiplayer game mode, you probably won't be able to find anyone playing there anymore. So, if you do get this game, make sure that you are aware of this going in or you may end up disappointed.
Total War Battles: Kingdom
Total War Battles: Kingdom is the free-to-play version of a Total War game that is available on the mobile platform. Set in the medieval times, the game perfectly captures how things were back then - an era filled with almost constant skirmishes and conflicts between lords and fledgling kingdoms. The gameplay mechanics are pretty well-done despite being somewhat restricted - you can only bring a maximum of 9 battalions into battle, for example, and it does retain most of the Total War archetypes like city-building, army training, and battles.Unfortunately, Total War Battles: Kingdom definitely pales in comparison to any of the games in the main series mainly because it fell victim to one of the worst pitfalls in the free-to-play gaming industry: microtransactions. Don’t expect to get far into the game without spending real money first, but if you still choose to persevere, it would probably take you weeks of constant playing to get your kingdom somewhere solid enough for you to hold your own.
That said, the game is still a pretty decent albeit casual installment of the Total War series. Fans of the franchise or of casual MMO strategy games on the mobile platform may want to give the game a try.
