Clash Royale vs Magic Duels: Origins
Clash Royale
Clash Royale is a highly popular, mobile real-time multiplayer strategy game by Supercell that features a unique tower defense-like gameplay. In this game, you will need to collect cards to build decks which you will then bring into battles where your sole objective is to eliminate your opponent’s base. Elixirs are used to play cards and deploy units onto the battlefield. The units deployed will then automatically move towards the enemy’s base while engaging any nearby enemy units along the way. Players are also given a variety of spells to aid their troops during combat. These spells, when use aptly, may even turn the tide of battle to your favor. The game is even competitive in nature as there are ranks for you to attain and leaderboards for you to climb.With easy-to-learn mechanics as well as a competitive and addictive gameplay, Supercell has managed to create yet another successful game in Clash Royale. If you have enjoyed playing any of their previous games, you will definitely love playing this one.
Magic Duels: Origins
Magic Duels: Origins is another MMOTCG developed by the same people behind Magic: The Gathering Online. However, this game aims bigger - there are more cards - with over 1300 of them - and has a better crafted and in-depth strategy element to it. Play as the iconic Planeswalker as you experience the new story-driven Amonkhet campaign via its Story Mode, or you can play cooperatively with up to 4 of your friends to take down a Two-Headed Giant. Of course, like most card games, there is also a competitive multiplayer mode where you can test your mettle against players from all around the world, but before you dive into the competitive scene, you might want to hone your skills with its vs-AI mode first.However, like most Magic: The Gathering-based games, the game scene can be rather tough for newcomers to break into due to its higher skill ceiling. As a result, the game became more of niche game for fans of the franchise rather than blowing up on the online gaming scene like Hearthstone did. That is not to say that Hearthstone is any easier to play though - it is simply more accessible to new players.
That said, if you're a fan of Magic: The Gathering, you'll want to play this game. To many, it is definitely way better than Magic Online.
