Age of Conan: Unchained vs Chivalry: Medieval Warfare
Age of Conan: Unchained
Age of Conan: Unchained is an MMORPG that's based on the timeless classic comic and TV series, Conan the Barbarian. Featuring one of the best fantasy-themed lore, the game also has a very unique action-based combat system that, despite its steep learning curve, is comparable to that of TERA... though, we'd say that combat in this game is much more varied. You can weave spells, attempt to capture battlekeeps with massive siege machines and even enjoy some good ol' mounted combat that is surprisingly not at all too clunky. However, you should bear in mind that this MMO has been around for quite some time, so the graphics in this game might be a tad bit old fashioned.What we love the most about Age of Conan is that the game actually rewards players who go off the beaten track and explore the secret corners of the world that questlines will never bring you to. The shift from being a subscription-based MMO to becoming a free-to-play MMO has been very well-received too, mainly because it injects a certain amount of much-needed players into its population and well, it allows newcomers to try the game out at no cost.
All in all, Age of Conan is a solid MMORPG that is very well-suited for players who like to explore and a challenge. Hardcore fans of Conan may want to try this game out as well, even if it's only to experience the different storylines in the game.
Chivalry: Medieval Warfare
Chivalry: Medieval Warfare is a thrilling first-person game where you actually get to assume to role of a chivalrous knight set in the medieval era. Although the game does have an offline mode where players can get familiarized with the controls and the gameplay, which admittedly is somewhat similar to that of a general FPS game, Chivalry is a multiplayer-focused game.The game provides players with exciting competitive online gameplay in which they can besiege castles, raid villages and engage in close-quarter melee combat. The action-based combat also allow you to block incoming blows and adjust your attacks to counter it. There is even an arsenal of up to 60 different melee weapons, a wide variety of siege weapons as well as a nice selection of castle-defending tools including boiling oil and traps.
If you've always longed for a game where you can fight like the knight of old, then you'll definitely want to buy Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. It may not be the only game of such sort on Steam, Playstation of Xbox, but it's possibly among the best ones.
