Halo Wars 2 vs N.O.V.A. 3
Halo Wars 2
Halo Wars 2 is the exciting sequel to Halo Wars (obviously) that's set after the events of Halo 5. Featuring a single player/co-op campaign that sends you on a mission to the legendary Ark, players will need to command their armies in epic large-scale battles against a powerful enemy. The game also has a multiplayer aspect as well, allowing you to test your mettle against other players (1 to 3 players per team).The latest addition in this game though is its Blitz option. It's a game mode that combines the deck-building of collectible cards with real-time strategy. So in other words, you'll be battling other players or waves of enemies with a deck (your army) you built.
Halo Wars 2 is definitely the game to get if you've enjoyed the original game or any classic RTS games like Starcraft. The only bummer is that the game is Xbox-exclusive, so players on the PC or other consoles will not be able to experience this game.
N.O.V.A. 3
N.O.V.A. 3 continues the exciting story from the previous game four months after Kal Wardin defeated the Volterites. This time around though, the President of the human coalition has been assassinated and in a rather rash decision, most of the colonies have surrendered to the Volterite Protectorate. Kal tried to keep out of the issue but he feels the need to head back into all the action to save mankind and a restored but now war-torn Earth yet again.With even more to offer, N.O.V.A. 3 is truly a step up from its predecessors. There are more weapons for you to play with, larger multiplayer battles you can dive into, and more varied multiplayer modes. There is even voice chat (for certain devices only) for players to communicate more effectively, allowing players to coordinate better on the battlefield.
Unfortunately, N.O.V.A. 3 is not available on GooglePlay despite being available on iOS and Windows phones. So, if you happen to be an Android user, you might want to check out our list of alternative games or just play N.O.V.A. Legacy.
