Castle Crashers vs For Honor
Castle Crashers
Castle Crashers is a fun arcade-like action-adventure game where you can team up with up to four of your friends to crash some castles and save the princess in distress. Being a lot like a mini-game, Castle Crashers provides players with a wide range of game modes as well as over 25 cute characters who can wield more than 40 different weapons. The combat system in this game is very nicely done as well. Instead of using a simple hack-and-slash system, the game implements an intuitive combo and magic system where using the correct sequence of skills to unleash a combo effect is more important than clicking frantically.Level up your character and invest stat points into the stat that benefit your hero the most. There are also animal orbs that you can carry around with you, each of which provides you with a unique ability to help you in your adventures.
If all of these sound just like what you like in a game, you should definitely check out Castle Crashers. It can guarantee you and your friends hours of hilarious fun as you hop and hack your way through various locations.
For Honor
For Honor is a team-based, competitive melee brawler where knights, vikings and samurais duke it out on various gorgeously-designed, arena-like battlefields. Unlike many brawlers, however, this game includes some elements of MOBAs and MMOFPS games in it, specifically the presence of normal AI-controlled soldiers (a.k.a. creeps) and also the need to capture several objective points around the map, sometimes with the help of said soldiers, and hold it to earn points for your team.The gameplay is astounding as well. Featuring an intuitive, action-based combat system, the game places a lot of emphasis on knowing your enemy and predicting what they will do as you alternate between blocking your opponent's blows and dishing some of your own. Having situational and battlefield awareness is crucial too, since most of the time, it's better to let an enemy take a capture point rather than getting hemmed in by him and his reinforcements and dying pointlessly in the process.
You also get to customize your characters in For Honor, changing their weapon sets to fit your play style or swapping cooler outfits so you can look good when you deal that final blow. In addition to its multiplayer component, which is frankly the main part of the game, For Honor also features a single-player campaign where you'll get to battle challenging bosses.
Although the game didn't get as rave a review as Ubisoft might have expected, For Honor is still a pretty decent melee brawler with breathtaking graphics, which features the mightiest and most fearless warriors in humanity's brief stint on Earth. The game is a buy-to-play with microtransactions (cosmetics mainly).
