Pokémon Duel vs Scythe
Pokémon Duel
Pokémon Duel is one of the few mobile spin-offs that deviate rather far from the conventional Pokemon games. Featuring a strategic gameplay that's based on the popular Pokemon Trading Figure Game in Japan, you'll get to actually battle other Pokemon trainers by placing your Pokemon figures on a board. The player who managed to reach their opponent's base tile will win the game.As you might have expect of any Pokemon-themed games, you'll get to collect beautiful (but digital) Pokemon figurines from across all Pokemon generations, assemble your lineup of figurines, much like building a deck, and attempt to defeat as many Pokemon trainers as you can on your quest to become the best Pokemon trainer.
Pokemon Duel is the perfect game for players who are looking for a free-to-play Pokemon game that actually let you duel - not like the tap-fest that Pokemon Go uses. Fans of the Pokemon Trading Figure Game might find this game very entertaining as well since it's very similar to the game they love.
Scythe
Scythe is the beloved board game that’s set in an alternate history, specifically the 1920s period. Now available on Steam, the developers, Asmodee Digital, has done an excellent job “porting” the board game into its new digital format, without losing any of its charm (the art is still as incredible as ever) and its fun gameplay. If you’ve always wanted to play Scythe but couldn’t find the players to play it with you, then you might want to check out this digital edition of the game!However, in spite of its tutorial, the game can still be somewhat complicated and hence, difficult to get into. But if you're willing to put in some time and effort, you'll be able to quickly learn the nuances of the game and use your discoveries to form new strategies which you can use against your opponents.
All in all, the digital edition of Scythe is everything a fan of the original board game could have dreamed of in a digital remake. The game retains its charm, its incredibly-fun gameplay, and of course, in time, the “DLCs” too. But even if you have not played the game before, you’ll still want to give Scythe a try if you enjoy strategy board games. It may be a bit difficult to get into at first, but with a bit of patience and effort (during the tutorial), you’ll be up and playing in no time!
