Battle Breakers vs Scythe
Battle Breakers
Battle Breakers is a new free-to-play turn-based RPG from Epic Games. Here, you’ll fight against monsters from the sky who trapped the planet’s heroes. Your role is to gather a team to take the planet back from them. Use a variety of heroes with different abilities and use elemental affinities to your advantage.Granted that it isn’t a battle royale, but much like the Fortnite, it innovates and delivers new yet refined gameplay mechanics. Available on Android, iOS, and on PC through the Epic Games Store, this turn-based strategy game is a breath of fresh air to the rather crowded hero-collecting subgenre. Though its gameplay loop appears way too different and even uncharacteristic, it’s extremely fun, simple to pick up, and in a way, works seamlessly. All these, paired up with high production value and hilarious dialogue, deliver quite an experience.
Overall, Battle Breakers is a must-try game especially if you’re looking for a new hero-collector. Though it’s still a little early to say that it beats its peers off the park, its fresh take on dungeon-crawling and its robust roster of heroes to collect makes it something you need to get your hands on.
Scythe
Scythe is the beloved board game that’s set in an alternate history, specifically the 1920s period. Now available on Steam, the developers, Asmodee Digital, has done an excellent job “porting” the board game into its new digital format, without losing any of its charm (the art is still as incredible as ever) and its fun gameplay. If you’ve always wanted to play Scythe but couldn’t find the players to play it with you, then you might want to check out this digital edition of the game!However, in spite of its tutorial, the game can still be somewhat complicated and hence, difficult to get into. But if you're willing to put in some time and effort, you'll be able to quickly learn the nuances of the game and use your discoveries to form new strategies which you can use against your opponents.
All in all, the digital edition of Scythe is everything a fan of the original board game could have dreamed of in a digital remake. The game retains its charm, its incredibly-fun gameplay, and of course, in time, the “DLCs” too. But even if you have not played the game before, you’ll still want to give Scythe a try if you enjoy strategy board games. It may be a bit difficult to get into at first, but with a bit of patience and effort (during the tutorial), you’ll be up and playing in no time!
