CastleStorm vs Homefront: The Revolution
CastleStorm
CastleStorm is a 2D tower defense game with a very unique twist. It features a combination of sandbox-like castle-building feature - a feature that some may liken to Hustle Castle - with a challengingly strategic gameplay, where you not only have to defend your own castle from being destroyed and your flag captured; you will also need to deploy troops - there are plenty to choose from - to attack your opponent's castle by first battering down the gates, and capturing the flag.Unlike many other similar games, you can also deploy your hero into the battlefield to grant your troops some morale support. You can personally control your hero and he will have a range of skills that you can use as well. Interestingly, when not in "hero mode", you can use the many siege weapons available to hurl heavy objects at the enemy's troops or castle à la Angry Birds-style.
The game focuses mainly on single-player in the past but it recently han unveiled a PvP multiplayer game mode where players build up their castle and let other players take a shot at it.
CastleStorm is an incredibly addictive game to play, especially if you're a huge fan of tower defense-like games; and not only that, the game has plenty of hilarious characters and dialogues which will at the very least make you chuckle from time to time. It's a game worth buying (for PC, Xbox and PS4. The game is free-to-play on mobile platforms) and you can even play it on any major platform you prefer!
Homefront: The Revolution
Homefront: The Revolution is the latest installment in the Homefront game series and this time around, the game features an open-world set in the war-torn suburbs of Philadelphia. In this game, you'll be expected to lead your own Resistance cell in an occupied and oppressed USA, and hopefully, through your team's guerilla actions, bring hope to the people and possibly give rise to a revolution. Despite the odds, you'll need to build bases and safe-houses for your Resistance fighters, recruit more revolutionaries to your cause, craft a variety of guerilla tools as well as capture an arsenal of better weapons from the enemy. Although there isn't a multiplayer mode in this game, you can play cooperatively with your friends to assemble a resistance that will earn the respect and adoration of other revolutionaries.Homefront: The Revolution may start out looking like a cut scene-laden game, but once you've gotten through the first 2 hours, you'll find that the game isn't at all that bad. It may not be comparable some of the most epic open world shooters out there, but it's still a pretty decent game, especially if you like the idea of building up a resistance cell rather than being the one stomping out the resistance.
