Griefhelm vs Tribal Wars
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)!
Tribal Wars
Tribal Wars is a a competitive MMO strategy game where you'll get to develop your small tribal village and turn it into a massive, and strong, empire that is able to keep your subjects in line and the enemies in check. Boost your resource production by upgrading buildings or advancing technologies so as to fund your burgeoning army for either offensive or defensive measures. Of course, having some reliable allies on your side doesn't hurt as well - in fact, you'll be better off since they can not only aid you economically, but also militarily.Tribal Wars may be an older, browser-based game, but it has lasted so long because it is fun and challenging to play. It is the sort of game that will appeal to fans of the strategy genre.
