Glyph vs Heroes of the Banner
Glyph
Glyph is a marble-based platformer designed to specifically delight speedrunners. The game puts you into the little legs of a scarab as it rolls across various increasingly challenging obstacle courses, collecting keys, coins, and artifacts along the way. As you unlock new sections of the ancient temple and complete more levels, you’ll eventually reveal the story behind the desert world you find yourself in, and why the sand is like lava (will kill you when touched) here.Glyph is one of those indie games that will definitely surprise you. The controls feel smooth and responsive, a crucial factor in platformers that sometimes require precision jumping, and the level designs are flat-out fantastic. Personally, I’ve had some absolute joy, and frustration, playing this game so far, and similar to Distance, I’m sure that the sense of accomplishment at the very end, once I’ve managed to complete every level, will be truly unbeatable.
Heroes of the Banner
Heroes of the Banner is a tower defense game with a nice little twist. Unlike Kingdom Rush’s barracks, the towers in this game can only house 1 hero each and can be categorized into 3 main tower types (arrow, cannon and magic). You can also recruit more and better heroes at the tavern by various means of summoning. Each of your heroes will have their own special skill that you can use during combat at the cost of mana. The game even gets gradually more difficult with the introduction of boss waves as well as the many different types of creeps. However, with medals and forgestones obtained from completed matches, you can upgrade your hero’s skills and forge your heroes’ equipments to boost their stats up to handle the much tougher creeps.If you like games like Pockie Defense or Kingdom Rush, Heroes of the Banner is definitely the game for you! So, go and try it out now!
