Coin Master vs Northgard
Coin Master
Coin Master is the perfect casual game to play if you've enjoyed playing games like Pirate Kings and Greedy Gods. At its core, it’s more of a slot machine game rather than a "spin the wheel", but the gameplay is pretty similar to the two examples given above. Depending on the combinations you get on the slot machine, you can perform a variety of actions, such as attacking other players' villages or plunder the coin master himself, as well as obtain some boosts, which may protect your village from attacks or drastically reduce the coins pillaged from your village even if an attack is successful.Coin masters are randomly selected from among a pool of players who happen to have a ton of cash at hand, due to this, you might want to avoid keeping too much cash and spend any large sums that you get as soon as you can. These coins can be reinvested into your own village. There are five buildings you can construct or upgrade (up to four times). Once you've completely built up your village, the game will then put you on a whole new island, of a different theme usually, to start all over.
Coin Master is very similar with Pirate Kings and Greedy Gods in so many ways and is a well-suited alternative game for fans of either, or both, of these games.
Northgard
Northgard is a rather unique city-builder/strategy game that allows you to lead a group of Northmen to unknown new shores in hopes of making a life there. Like most city-building games, you'll need to help them set up a home, assign your Vikings to perform various roles, ensure there is enough food to feed the entire village, and amass a small army to help defend your territories from other hostile clans. The strategic aspects of the game may not be obvious at first but you'll quickly realize that new territories that you discover (you don't exactly need to conquer it for this to work) will present new strategic opportunities for your clan to expand or grow, be it new sources for food or a nice place to set up a new trading post. There are many victory conditions as well, so it's not always "kill or be killed" in this game.Northgard offers players a single player experience by playing with AIs with various personalities or with their friends online. However, many players have reported that the game does have a somewhat flawed AI-player relationship. Even if you're best buddies with an AI's clan through healthy trading relationships, their clan members will still attack your people, which frankly feels a lot like a betrayal. It'd be nice to have a tutorial as well.
That said though, Northgard is an impressive game especially if you enjoy a bit of city-builder/strategy game like Valhalla Hills.
