Heroes Evolved vs Magic: The Gathering Arena
Heroes Evolved
Heroes Evolved is a relatively unknown MOBA game - especially in this day and age where almost every gamer know what League of Legends and DotA 2 are. However, this shouldn't discourage you from experiencing the unique gameplay that this game has to offer. Fundamentally, the concept of the game is still the same old creep-killing and tower-pushing mechanics, but the few yet significant features added make a whole lot of difference. The game also has a ton of heroes that you can collect and play as, each having their own roles to play in a match, be it as a tanker, a carry or a ganker.The best thing about Heroes Evolved is the less intense atmosphere, making it much less stressful for newcomers to experience the game and the genre without getting flamed within minutes of playing a match. Not to mention, the pace of the game is somewhat casual as well so if you can no longer afford pouring hours into LoL or DotA 2, well... this game is here for you. Though, if you want to be competitive, this game also has a couple of competitive eSports-worthy tournaments throughout the year.
We'd say that Heroes Evolved is an excellent "more casual" alternative for both avid MOBA players and even new players who are trying out the genre for the first time.
Magic: The Gathering Arena
Magic: The Gathering Arena is a spin-off. free-to-playgame from one of the most popular trading card game worldwide, Magic: The Gathering. In many ways, it's very similar to Magic: The Gathering Online since they are both basically the same games with the same rules. However, when it comes to attractiveness, MTG Arena definitely wins hands-down.Aside from having superior graphics, it has plenty of exciting animations, screen shaking, and sound effects to keep you engaged as you play. The gameplay may be standard but all of these extras do make a noticeable difference. In fact, with all the bells and whistles, the game is certainly well-packaged to be ported to the mobile platform.
However, since the game's still in beta, there is plenty of stuff that fans of the paper game might not be able to enjoy just yet. The cards, for instance, aren't all there yet, and so are the game modes. For a trading card game, the trading feature isn't implemented in the game as well.
That being said, Magic: The Gathering Arena is perhaps one of the best digital MTG games out there, beating out MTG Online and Magic Duels by a mile. The free-to-play game may not be flawless but at least it is not a grind to play, has a fun gameplay, and has plenty of room to expand and grow. If you're a fan of Magic: The Gathering, you'll want to give this game a try.
