4story vs 9th Dawn
4story
4story is an MMORPG that’s pretty much the epitome of a cookie-cutter MMORPG as in it does absolutely nothing to innovate in the genre but instead it takes all the core concepts of the genre and further refines them to an excessive degree to create a brilliant game that is extremely fun to play and has a great sense of progression as you go through it. The game also has a huge world for you to explore, a variety of quests to keep you grinding away for levels and loot, as well as great combat mechanics that may not be completely action-based, but is not a hack-and-clash either.In many ways, 4Story reminds me a lot of the older version of World of Warcraft, though it’s still not comparable to the latter however. That said, if this sounds just like an MMORPG you'd like to try, be sure to check it out!
9th Dawn
9th Dawn is an old-school-like RPG that is set in a remote yet large island continent of Montelorne. The game has a pretty open world gameplay where you can choose to follow the questline and help the people of Montelorne handle the invading armies of the rising undead or simply explore the vast land to discover new towns and dungeons.The game is very much an RPG in the traditional sense. It has three archetype classes for you to play as – the knight, archer and mage. Each of them have their own sets of skills and equipment, that you’ll do well to constantly upgrade, resulting in very different game experiences depending on which class you play as.
Many players have compared 9th Dawn to timeless RPG classics like Ultima and this comparison is, in our humble opinion, very well justified. The game is just very well-designed and will definitely delight every old-school RPG fan who bought it.
