Goodgame Empire vs Total War Battles: Kingdom
Goodgame Empire
Goodgame Empire is an award-winning, medieval-themed MMO strategy game developed by Goodgame Studios. In this game, you'll get to build your own kingdom from the ground up, establish an efficient economy, and assemble an army to expand your empire's borders. Forge alliances with other friendly players and work together to dominate the map, bringing more territories under the influence of your alliance. Aside from being available across platforms, the game also has a fun cartoonish look that sets it somewhat apart from other browser MMO strategy games. Sounds like a game you'd like to play? Well, assume your role as the lord of the castle and set up your medieval regime now!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.
