Griefhelm vs Super Smash Bros
Griefhelm
Griefhelm is a realistic 2D medieval sword-fighting game with a Slay the Spire-like progression and a pretty brutal difficulty level in the sense that if you let your opponent get in a couple of hits, you’re dead. Offering several game modes and perks, the game focuses a lot on timing your actions to best your opponent on the battlefield.Since timing is crucial in this game, you’d best be vigilant of the several combat cues your enemies may make a split second before the animation starts. If you do it precisely right, then you might just survive the attacks and even find a few openings of your own to strike. This game is definitely not the mindless hack-and-slash that many other games seem to offer. Every action you take in this game is deliberate and this makes every successful kill so much more satisfying.
Now, all of these fights are scattered across nodes in a progression map that’s somewhat similar to Slay the Spire. What this means is that you’ve got a choice as to which path you want to take and, in this game, you’ll usually have at least 2. Different paths offer different levels and types of challenges, and hence, different rewards so it’s important for you to decide which reward is most worthwhile for you.
To sum up, Griefhelm is truly in a class of its own. I’ve seen many players compare the game disfavorably against Nidhogg and that may be true, but for someone who has only played For Honor before, Griefhelm really brings swordplay to a different dimension… literally (Hint: 2D as opposed to 3D)!
Super Smash Bros
Super Smash Bros is the latest installment of the Super Smash Bros series where Nintendo simply mashes up every character they have ever created into a single and pretty much arena-like game. The range of characters you'll have access to is simply incredible since you'll be able to spot some really iconic faces (Link, Mario or Pikachu, for example) along with some more recent and hence, still-obscure ones like Palutena and Little Mac.The gameplay feels a lot like a standard Street Fighter game with the exception that the chraracters are more varied and thus, the abilities you'll have access to will obviously be similarly so as well. However, combos ruled in these games and you'll need to be mindful of this when you are customizing move sets for your characters. Best yet, you can battle with up to 4 of your friends locally or via online, or even create new battlefields (a.k.a. stages) to play in.
Super Smash Bros have always been the perfect melting pot of a game for all the unique characters in the Nintendo many and widely varied universes. If fighting games are your thing, you simply mustn't miss out this amazing game.
