Crusader Kings III vs Griefhelm
Crusader Kings III
Crusader Kings III is Paradox Interactive’s latest entry in the popular medieval strategy saga. You’ll step into the shoes of a medieval ruler of your choice and run your domains as you see fit. Spanning across three continents and two eras, you’ll have a massive roster of historical rulers to choose from, including William of Normandy, Bjorn Ironside, Basil I, and Almos Arpad.As a count, duke, king, or emperor, you’ll try to navigate around the intrigue on your court, placating or subduing unruly vassals and external enemies jeopardizing your authority. Your realm needs attention, which is why it’s a must to secure funds to strengthen your holdings’ walls, build farms, and construct wonders. Plus, you can cement alliances with your neighbors by organizing political marriages while engineering your dynasty’s traits. After all, you’d want your descendants to be superhuman geniuses. If diplomacy fails, you can always wage wars, but first, you need to raise levies and men-at-arms that can change the tide of battle in your favor.
Crusader Kings III is a deep medieval dynasty simulator. It’s an open-ended strategy game where you can decide the fate of your dynasty. Will you bring your family prestige and lead it to the thrones of Europe and the entire world, or to its downfall? Your actions will decide your fate, but remember, real strategy requires cunning.
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)!
