Evony: The King's Return vs Total War Battles: Kingdom
Evony: The King's Return
Evony: The King's Return is a rather addictively entertaining MMORTS game where you can play as the ruler of a powerful (and real-life) culture in a fictional world. The gameplay is not very special if compared to the tons of other MMO strategy games out there, but the overall gaming experience afforded by its emphasis on historically accurate cultures, coupled with perfectly-tailored visuals and music, is quite unique. You can even sign up to join an alliance and work together to take down tough boss monsters on the map or even a rival alliance city. Oh and of course, let’s not forget about the game’s incredible generosity. By simply logging in daily, you can get some amazing rewards. So, if you are looking for a new mobile MMORTS game to play, you might want to check out Evony: The King’s Return.Total War Battles: Kingdom
Total War Battles: Kingdom is the free-to-play version of a Total War game that is available on the mobile platform. Set in the medieval times, the game perfectly captures how things were back then - an era filled with almost constant skirmishes and conflicts between lords and fledgling kingdoms. The gameplay mechanics are pretty well-done despite being somewhat restricted - you can only bring a maximum of 9 battalions into battle, for example, and it does retain most of the Total War archetypes like city-building, army training, and battles.Unfortunately, Total War Battles: Kingdom definitely pales in comparison to any of the games in the main series mainly because it fell victim to one of the worst pitfalls in the free-to-play gaming industry: microtransactions. Don’t expect to get far into the game without spending real money first, but if you still choose to persevere, it would probably take you weeks of constant playing to get your kingdom somewhere solid enough for you to hold your own.
That said, the game is still a pretty decent albeit casual installment of the Total War series. Fans of the franchise or of casual MMO strategy games on the mobile platform may want to give the game a try.
