Griefhelm vs Kingdom Rush Frontiers
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)!
Kingdom Rush Frontiers
Kingdom Rush Frontiers is the exciting sequel of one of the biggest breakout tower defense game since Plants vs Zombies, Kingdom Rush. Despite the similiar storyline, Kingdom Rush Frontiers provides its players with a whole new adventure with fresh maps and levels to play in, new towers to build and hence more tower abilities, and of course, a wider range of enemies (including the dreaded special units and bosses) and their respective abilities as well! Most interesting of all, the game even has multiple legendary champions that you can then deploy into the battlefield, each with their own sets of skills to bring to the battle.Kingdom Rush Frontiers stayed true to its root and yet still managed to deliver a much improved version that both hardcore fans and newcomers will enjoy. If tower defense games are your thing, this is one game you wouldn't want to miss out. Play it now!
