Age of War 2 vs Ancient War
Age of War 2
Age of War 2 is the highly anticipated sequel to the popular browser and now mobile game, Age of War. With even more themes this time around, Age of War 2 offers a similar yet equally exciting gameplay but you can now pit the ancient Egyptians against an advanced alien civilization that looks like it came from the Aliens and Predator movies. The graphics has also seen a nice overhaul, though the game retained its cartoonish looks. Of course, let's not forget about the game's more fleshed out upgrades and research system as well.Age of War 2 is definitely a fun and rather unique game that sticks true to its origins. If you enjoy casual strategy (with some elements of tower defense) games, you should definitely check this game out. Don't forget to try the original Age of War too!
Ancient War
Ancient War is a brand-new MMO RPG/strategy game that you can play for free directly on Facebook. In this game, you will need to choose one of 3 factions to join, namely Thebes, Athens or Sparta, before setting off to develop your city-state, recruit legendary heroes and their associated battalions, and take on your enemies.The gameplay here is pretty generic in many ways, but there are a couple features that stand out although they are not entirely unique. One such feature is the world map. Unlike many other games within the same genre, the world map feels a lot more real and alive as you can see the boundaries of each faction being drawn and re-drawn as players of the same faction work together to conquer other faction's city-states.
Another feature is the faction hierarchy. Each faction is governed by the players themselves and only the strongest players will be able to climb the ranks and assume one of the 4 important positions in the hierarchy. If you are the best of the lot, you can even be appointed King.
Ancient War isn't exactly a refreshingly unique browser MMO game, but it is not your run-of-the-mill game either. The gameplay is quite decent and the epic Greek-theme that it has may appeal to you as well.
