CastleStorm vs Kainga: Seeds of Civilization
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!
Kainga: Seeds of Civilization
Kainga: Seeds of Civilization , putting it simply, is a curious and intriguing city-builder/RTS game that offers several campaign-like missions where the goal is to complete the objectives needed before the game becomes too difficult to have your people survive through. Not only does it come with a brilliant soundtrack, but the game also has one-of-a-kind art, and most important of all, its RTS-style gameplay. Of course, there's also the fact that you can tame massive beasts in the game and build stuff on their backs or even use them as war mounts to attack your enemies.The game is already showing a lot of promise despite still being in Early Access. With time and some hard work patching up the bugs and improving on certain existing gameplay mechanics in-game, I’m confident that Kainga will be one of those decade-defining indie games for its efforts in innovating a stagnating genre.
