Battlefield 4 vs Europa Universalis: Rome
Battlefield 4
Battlefield 4 brings large-scale multiplayer battles to a whole new level with destructible and dynamic environments that you and your team can make use of to change the lanscape of the battlefield, opening up new tactical maneuvers. You can even launch an amphibious assault, catching your enemies unawares; or simply engage in massive water-based vehicular combat. There are a whole lot more vehicles, weapons, huge maps and freedom to play as you like in this game, giving you an unrivalled, all-out war experience that frankly is the best Battlefield has offered thus far!Best yet, the game added a single player campaign for those who want to experience the fun of huge battles without having to play online. The storyline is quite touching as it details the struggles of a unit of American troops doing their best to complete their mission and work their way home.
If you love Battlefield games, well, Battlefield 4 will definitely astound you! Even for those who disliked the multiplayer-heavy gameplay in the previous Battlefield titles can agree that the single-player campaign does make up a lot for that. Though, buying this game for only its single player aspect might be a bit not worthwhile, unless you can get it at a discount.
Europa Universalis: Rome
Europa Universalis: Rome brings players back to the ancient ages where Roman, Celtic, Greek, Egyptian and six other civilizations reigned dominant across the game's 53 different factions. Set in between the years 280 B.C. and 27 B.C, you'll get to not only rule but also guide the growth of your very own nation from being a fledgling into a country that the world will need to reckon with (if there are any nations left that you have yet to conquer or brought under your rule). The game retained much of what made the Europa Universalis franchise such as a success, including beautifully deisgned 3D topological maps, historically-accurate figure and events, as well as an insanely in-depth political landscape where you can forge an alliance as easily as you break one.There are also plenty of exciting changes and new features in this installment though. The important characters in the governance of your nation, for example, will develop new traits on their own through their interactions with other people in the game, much like how a human would, giving the game more of a challenge due to all the unpredictability. The military AI used here has been completely revised as well. In addition to the usual 32-player co-op, you can now play competitively against other players... up to 32 of them!
Europa Universalis: Rome is a decade old and as such, you may need to tap into some of the mods made by the game's community to help bring the game to a new level. That said, it's still a really good buy at the current discounted price and if you're a fan of grand strategy games, you should definitely get this one.
