Battle Carnival vs Deck Heroes: Legacy
Battle Carnival
Battle Carnival is a unique MMO shooter game that attempts to combine the strategy that goes into character-switching in character-based shooters like Overwatch with the somewhat arcade-like gameplay that the fans of the age-old yet iconic franchise, Counter Strike, might be very familiar with. Featuring 7 early access characters that you can access right from the start, the game puts a lot of emphasis on the roles these characters can play and how by switching some of them up, your team may be able to counter the enemy's lineup. Of course, knowing how to aim is still a crucial skill needed in any MMO shooter.The game provides 2 game modes at the moment - Demolition and Domination. Demolition is the clear favorite since the 5-vs-5 matches there are usually pretty fast-paced - 3 mins per round and the game can be won simply by winning 5 rounds. Domination, however, is slower-paced and features the "capture and hold the area" gameplay. It's a 6-vs-6 match that can last up to 12 minutes or so. The maps are all very well-designed with multiple flanking and outflanking routes, though some may complain that the maps are confusing and "maze-like".
Battle Carnival is currently in early access and as such, the game does have plenty of problems that need to be fixed, areas that need improving and of course, more features and content that need to be released. The player population is a bit on the low end as well. Regardless, the game does seem to have a potential to fill a niche that buy-to-play shooters have hogged and with changes, it can be better. In the meantime though, you might still want to give the game a try, just so you can let the developers know about your feedback and help them turn the game into a game you'd want to stick around in.
Deck Heroes: Legacy
Deck Heroes: Legacy is a fantasy-themed MMOCCG tha's not only fun and challenging to play gameplay-wise but also has a ton of cards for you to collect, gorgeous card artwork for you to admire and best of all, the game is most definitely not a pay-to-win. In this game, you'll get to build the best decks for each of the four unique races out of the game's hundreds of cards. Aside from single player adventures where you'll get to explore maps, escape from mazes and take on combat trials, you can even challenge millions of players worldwide in an epic card showdown to see who has the best tactics and decks around!Deck Heroes: Legacy is pretty much comparable to Hearthstone in terms of its entertaining and competitively addictive gameplay, but it might lose out a bit when it comes to the rich lore that Hearthstone can draw from the Warcraft universe. So, if you're just in it for the fun, be it as a casual or a hardcore player, Deck Heroes: Legacy is a really good mobile alternative for any of the popular MMOCCGs.
