Deeeep.io vs Faeria
Deeeep.io
Deeeep.io is a really unique IO game which features a different sort of progression system while retaining the competitive aspect of all games within the new genre. In this game, there are many animal characters for you to play as, each of which has their own unique range of abilities. However, unlike most games, you can't choose the animals you play - You get to work your way up the food chain instead. If you do really well, you may end up being the whales, orcas, and sharks a.k.a. the top predators in that stretch of the sea.The game even has plenty of fun places to explore, and sometimes even hide in, just to avoid larger predators. Some animal characters, such as penguins and seagulls, even allow you to head up to the surface so you can battle other players there as well.
Deeeep.io isn't exactly like your conventional IO game. In fact, similar to Starve.io, it is part of a wave of innovative games which retained the sort of gameplay simplicity that can only be associated to IO games and yet provide players with a myriad of interesting games and game modes to play in.
If you do plan on giving this game a try, you might want to play the browser version instead. As reported by many players, the mobile version of the game has a lot of glitches.
Faeria
Faeria is an MMOCCG that brilliantly blends the elements of traditional board games with turn-based tactical and strategic MMOs, set in a disc-world circled by Orobouros, the very first creature, albeit a serpent-like one, that the gods apparently have created. In this game, you will play against other champions or players on a unique, hexagonally-gridded battlefield where the different landscapes play an important role in determining your attack or defense strategy. There are a ton of collectible cards for you to collect and subsequently use to build a deck to bring to battle.Best yet, the game is incredibly easy to learn unlike a lot of the traditional MMOCCG/TCGs, even for players who are new to the genre, and most matches are fast-paced enough to be amazingly engaging, leaving you wanting to dive immediately into another match.
Due to the popularity of games like Hearthstone, similar games have been sprouting all over the internet, making the collectible cards market a tad bit difficult to break into. But with its unique look, feel and gameplay, Faeria is definitely among the few that managed to stand out!
