Carcassonne vs Griefhelm
Carcassonne
Carcassonne is the digitized version of the popular empire-building physical board game of the same name. This digital game stays true to the fun and strategic gameplay that had made the game famous. Furthermore, this game features a single player mode where you can play with challenging AIs and also a multiplayer mode (of up to 6 players) where you can pit your skills against other players worldwide. So, even if you don’t like playing competitively, the game’s multiple AIs are challenging enough to keep you engaged for hours on end.Carcassonne- Tiles & Tactics is not only a well-designed digital version of its renowned counterpart, but the game also contains the same familiar and yet strategic gameplay that will truly put your skills to the test. So, although you may have not played this game before, but you have a penchant for strategy games, you might still have to give this game a try. It’s not exactly a very costly game either, and considering the hours of fun you can eek out of it, it is worth every cent you spend.
If you’re interested, you can purchase Carcassonne on Steam for the low price of $9.99; or on Google Play for around $2.50.
Griefhelm
Griefhelm is a realistic 2D medieval sword-fighting game with a Slay the Spire-like progression and a pretty brutal difficulty level in the sense that if you let your opponent get in a couple of hits, you’re dead. Offering several game modes and perks, the game focuses a lot on timing your actions to best your opponent on the battlefield.Since timing is crucial in this game, you’d best be vigilant of the several combat cues your enemies may make a split second before the animation starts. If you do it precisely right, then you might just survive the attacks and even find a few openings of your own to strike. This game is definitely not the mindless hack-and-slash that many other games seem to offer. Every action you take in this game is deliberate and this makes every successful kill so much more satisfying.
Now, all of these fights are scattered across nodes in a progression map that’s somewhat similar to Slay the Spire. What this means is that you’ve got a choice as to which path you want to take and, in this game, you’ll usually have at least 2. Different paths offer different levels and types of challenges, and hence, different rewards so it’s important for you to decide which reward is most worthwhile for you.
To sum up, Griefhelm is truly in a class of its own. I’ve seen many players compare the game disfavorably against Nidhogg and that may be true, but for someone who has only played For Honor before, Griefhelm really brings swordplay to a different dimension… literally (Hint: 2D as opposed to 3D)!
