War and conquest have always been a part of human nature, and no media represents it better than games, as they allow us to take control of these events and chart our way. But what many games lack is the human touch; wars are fought for the sake of the people, which many games do not acknowledge. Lord of Heros is the exception; it features a continent-spanning conquest driven by the knights that fought in it and the people they fought for. You, as the player, take control of a self-made king and conquerer and are thrust into the story of war. At the start, you are only a small nation with a few knights, but soon you start to fight the neighboring countries and expand the reach of your kingdom eastward, where rumors tell of a mighty conquerer. The entire narrative is expertly carried by the cast of knights with individual characteristics and can shed more light on the land's history.

With fantastic art style and immersive graphics, Lord of Heroes does not disappoint. The gameplay is a mix between Genshin Impact and Fate Grand Order. The action is turn-based, while the knights each have a normal attack and three special attacks, which can further synergize with other knights’ attacks to deal more significant damage. Lord of Heros also gets many content upgrades, allowing you to even travel in the past to fight along the ancient races. It is an excellent game with a nearly endless amount of things to do.

Arknights is also relatively straightforward in character customization. You can only evolve the combat abilities, but this also helps you focus on how those abilities work and synergize with others. The gameplay is tower defense, where you will need to place your characters and utilize their skills to stop the waves of enemies coming. The strategy will play a more significant role as you progress through the game. You will not be able to brute force your way through many of the scenarios. It is sure to provide you with great enjoyment.
