Kingdom Rush Frontiers vs Northgard
Kingdom Rush Frontiers
Kingdom Rush Frontiers is the exciting sequel of one of the biggest breakout tower defense game since Plants vs Zombies, Kingdom Rush. Despite the similiar storyline, Kingdom Rush Frontiers provides its players with a whole new adventure with fresh maps and levels to play in, new towers to build and hence more tower abilities, and of course, a wider range of enemies (including the dreaded special units and bosses) and their respective abilities as well! Most interesting of all, the game even has multiple legendary champions that you can then deploy into the battlefield, each with their own sets of skills to bring to the battle.Kingdom Rush Frontiers stayed true to its root and yet still managed to deliver a much improved version that both hardcore fans and newcomers will enjoy. If tower defense games are your thing, this is one game you wouldn't want to miss out. Play it now!
Northgard
Northgard is a rather unique city-builder/strategy game that allows you to lead a group of Northmen to unknown new shores in hopes of making a life there. Like most city-building games, you'll need to help them set up a home, assign your Vikings to perform various roles, ensure there is enough food to feed the entire village, and amass a small army to help defend your territories from other hostile clans. The strategic aspects of the game may not be obvious at first but you'll quickly realize that new territories that you discover (you don't exactly need to conquer it for this to work) will present new strategic opportunities for your clan to expand or grow, be it new sources for food or a nice place to set up a new trading post. There are many victory conditions as well, so it's not always "kill or be killed" in this game.Northgard offers players a single player experience by playing with AIs with various personalities or with their friends online. However, many players have reported that the game does have a somewhat flawed AI-player relationship. Even if you're best buddies with an AI's clan through healthy trading relationships, their clan members will still attack your people, which frankly feels a lot like a betrayal. It'd be nice to have a tutorial as well.
That said though, Northgard is an impressive game especially if you enjoy a bit of city-builder/strategy game like Valhalla Hills.
