Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword vs Total War Arena
Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword
Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword is second in line when it comes to the best Mount & Blade game there is. Granted that the game isn't exactly perfect, it does bring along several exciting new features such as the addition of muskets, pistols and grenades, an enhanced, faction-based single-player game, as well as a list of original multiplayer content including new game modes like Captain Team Deathmatch. You can also customize your soldiers with the weapon and armor of your choice. Unfortunately, like many older games, Mount & Blade: With Fire & Sword hasn't really aged well, so you can expect some issues with the game and well, outdated graphics.That said, the game still offer a pretty epic gameplay that can be comparable to Mount & Blade Warband to some extent. However, if you have to choose one of the two, we'd still recommend you to get Warband rather than With Fire & Sword though.
Total War Arena
Total War Arena is a unique arena-based real-time strategy game that lets you enjoy the thrill of medieval warfare in a multiplayer setting. The game pits teams of players, each controlling 3 battalions of troops that they have customized themselves, against each other on beautifully-designed maps in hopes of capturing the other side’s base.Featuring an in-depth and strategic gameplay where team coordination, troop formations and clever planning are the keys to victory, Total War Arena is a free-to-play title that will definitely make its "parent franchise" proud! Aside from epic battles, the game also has plenty of units and unit upgrades for you to unlock. The same goes for the various commanders they have to offer for each of the four major civilizations - Rome, Greece, Carthage and the Barbarian hordes.
Not to mention, the game is published by Wargaming who, by today's standards, have perhaps the most fair matchmaking system there is in competitive gaming. The game itself is fair to the free-to-play players as well since everything in the game, aside from cosmetics, can be purchased using either game currency or premium cash.
So, if you're an avid real-time strategy gamer, Total War Arena is like a dream game come true! So, what are you waiting for? Take command of your own battalions and work with your team to dominate the battlefield!
