Total War Battles: Kingdom vs Tribal Wars 2
Total War Battles: Kingdom
Total War Battles: Kingdom is the free-to-play version of a Total War game that is available on the mobile platform. Set in the medieval times, the game perfectly captures how things were back then - an era filled with almost constant skirmishes and conflicts between lords and fledgling kingdoms. The gameplay mechanics are pretty well-done despite being somewhat restricted - you can only bring a maximum of 9 battalions into battle, for example, and it does retain most of the Total War archetypes like city-building, army training, and battles.Unfortunately, Total War Battles: Kingdom definitely pales in comparison to any of the games in the main series mainly because it fell victim to one of the worst pitfalls in the free-to-play gaming industry: microtransactions. Don’t expect to get far into the game without spending real money first, but if you still choose to persevere, it would probably take you weeks of constant playing to get your kingdom somewhere solid enough for you to hold your own.
That said, the game is still a pretty decent albeit casual installment of the Total War series. Fans of the franchise or of casual MMO strategy games on the mobile platform may want to give the game a try.
Tribal Wars 2
Tribal Wars 2 is a fantastic MMORTS game set in medieval times in a war-torn land. The game provides pretty much the best of traditional strategic gameplay of developing your village, building an army and conquering neighboring towns. However, what sets Tribal Wars 2 apart from its predecessor is that "hero system", where you can and need to recruit powerful paladins to head your armies. Paladins themselves can be equipped with gear to further enhance their combat abilities. Being the newer game, Tribal Wars 2 also has a larger playerbase, allowing players like you to have an even more enjoyable time fighting tooth and nail for control of certain regions on the map.Tribal Wars 2 has everything you'd need from a high quality MMORTS game. Best yet, the game's available on your mobile devices - both Android and iOS - too!
