Griefhelm vs March to Rome
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)!
March to Rome
March to Rome is an in-depth MMORTS game that offers its players quite a lot of control over the combat aspect of the game. There are many different races that you can pick from, a variety of buildings that you can build, a plethora of military units to recruit and even a nice selection of researches to perform. The gameplay is fun and yet not too complicated and the PvP aspect of the game keeps the game exciting. It's also nice that you can band up with your fellow players in an alliance so you could take on tougher challenges together.Not to mention, the game has a pretty nice intro story where your nation was previously under the benevolent rule of the Roman Empire, but due to the greed and corruption, things had changed for the worst. This led to your need to take some action, as the leader of your people, and declared a war for independence against Rome and its allies.
