Exploding Kittens vs Griefhelm
Exploding Kittens
Exploding Kittens , developed by Elan Lee, Martín Vizcaíno, and Matthew Inman from the comics site The Oatmeal, offers a really fun multiplayer card game for all card game enthusiasts out there.The gameplay is based on Russian roulette strategy as players have to keep drawing cards from the deck until one of them draws an exploding kitten card. This will result in that player exploding and eventually getting kicked out of the game. However, players can avert the explosion by using various other cards like catnip cards, belly scratching cards, laser pointers and more. The game can be played with 2 to 5 friends and you can also challenge random opponents.
With the coolest animations, entertaining card descriptions, and an overall fun game that you can play to pass the time, Exploding Kittens is one of the most hilarious yet intense card games to have on your devices.
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)!
