Diep.io vs Faeria
Diep.io
Diep.io is a fun tank-like IO game where players play as pencil-drawn tanks on a piece of white (and sometimes gridded) paper filled with other hostile tanks as well as a variety of obstacles and Polygons. Shooting at Polygons and other players will earn you points to level up your tank to the next tier, unlocking a wide range of upgrades (or "classes" as the game calls them). At frequent intervals, AI-controlled bosses will be spawned allowing players to work somewhat cooperatively to earn a ton of experience points.Many players are calling out Diep.io as being a clone of the previously popular Tank.io (not sure what happened to Tank.io though), but considering that it's currently the last game standing, I guess it's safe to say that new players will never know about Tank.io but will instead be able to enjoy its legacy through Diep.io.
Faeria
Faeria is an MMOCCG that brilliantly blends the elements of traditional board games with turn-based tactical and strategic MMOs, set in a disc-world circled by Orobouros, the very first creature, albeit a serpent-like one, that the gods apparently have created. In this game, you will play against other champions or players on a unique, hexagonally-gridded battlefield where the different landscapes play an important role in determining your attack or defense strategy. There are a ton of collectible cards for you to collect and subsequently use to build a deck to bring to battle.Best yet, the game is incredibly easy to learn unlike a lot of the traditional MMOCCG/TCGs, even for players who are new to the genre, and most matches are fast-paced enough to be amazingly engaging, leaving you wanting to dive immediately into another match.
Due to the popularity of games like Hearthstone, similar games have been sprouting all over the internet, making the collectible cards market a tad bit difficult to break into. But with its unique look, feel and gameplay, Faeria is definitely among the few that managed to stand out!
