4story vs Rend
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!
Rend
Rend is an up-and-coming, Nordic-themed, team-based survival game that is set in a wild and ruthless, fantasy world filled with fantastic creatures, where only the strongest are able to ascend to the realms of the gods. In this game, players are separated into their respective factions at the beginning. They are then given the freedom to explore the many biomes and harvest resources from the environment whether solo or co-operatively. The resources obtained can then be used to craft better weapons and tools or can be reinvested into the faction stronghold to fortify it from potential attacks from players from a rival faction and to advance your base just so you can unlock new technologies. Players have their own skill systems and talent trees as well, and these are the main ways for a player to customize and tweak their characters to their liking.The ultimate goal of the game, however, is to reap as many warrior spirits as you can by battling and defeating rival players and deposit the souls at the Divinity Stone in the middle of your faction base, that is if you're not slain while carrying such precious loot. Somewhat similar to grand strategy games, Rend is more of a continual game. It has game cycles of 2 to 3 months, in which the winning faction of each cycle will get a nice pile of rewards at the end of a cycle.
Rend has a really unique take on the survival genre and this might just give the game the fuel it needs to rise to the top. The game is currently in Alpha and its release date is still TBD.
