Battle Carnival vs Diep.io
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.
Diep.io
Diep.io is a fun tank-like IO game where players play as pencil-drawn tanks on a piece of white (and sometimes gridded) paper filled with other hostile tanks as well as a variety of obstacles and Polygons. Shooting at Polygons and other players will earn you points to level up your tank to the next tier, unlocking a wide range of upgrades (or "classes" as the game calls them). At frequent intervals, AI-controlled bosses will be spawned allowing players to work somewhat cooperatively to earn a ton of experience points.Many players are calling out Diep.io as being a clone of the previously popular Tank.io (not sure what happened to Tank.io though), but considering that it's currently the last game standing, I guess it's safe to say that new players will never know about Tank.io but will instead be able to enjoy its legacy through Diep.io.
