Grepolis vs Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth
Grepolis
Grepolis is an Ancient Greek-themed MMO strategy game by Plarium where you will be establishing your own empire. Build your beautiful Greek city and develop it to bolster your wealth so you can mobilize a mighty army to help you defend your treasury and also to attack your enemies. You can even recruit legendary Greek heroes like Heracles to helm your battalions or to govern your cities. Interestingly, you will even need to choose to worship certain Greek gods or goddesses (you can't worship them all) to earn their favor and gain access to wield their divine powers. After all, every little advantage you can get can go a long way in this game. So, rise up now and show the world your brilliant leadership in Grepolis!Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth
Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth lets you play as the leader of a pioneering group of spacefarers as you set off for the stars in hopes of creating a new civilization in space. The science fiction-themed in this game is a pretty far cry from the usually historical theme in the award-winning Civilization game franchise, but the game was pretty well-done mainly because it contains many of the features that had made Civilization 5 such a resounding success while changing things up a bit, such as replacing religion with affinity, just so everything is relevant to the overall theme of the game. There are also items that you can find on the alien planet that you're trying to colonize which will unlock nice storylines and quests for you to experience. And of course, there's the epic DLC, Rising Tide, which has elevated a mediocre but interestingly-themed game into an impressive one.If you're hoping for a game that's as amazing as Civ 5, Sid Meier's Civilization: Beyond Earth might end up disappointing some of you, but if you consider that this is the franchise's first attempt in doing a game that's not history-based, then well, this is a pretty good first attempt for an established, triple-A series.
