9th Dawn vs Dragon Ring
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.
Dragon Ring
Dragon Ring is a browser-based, 3D MMORPG that is set in the brilliant yet strife-filled world of Nidia. With invaders on all sides, be it the massive spike of orc activity or the recent brazenness of pirates, the realm needs a hero more so than ever, especially one who can wield the power of a collection of powerful Rings. Featuring tons of quests, dungeons, arenas and fun events along with anh in-depth character development and customization, this is the sort of game that fans of JRPG-like games would enjoy.Dragon Ring may have the best intentions of creating possibly among the first fully 3D MMORPG that you can play directly on your web browser, but unfortunately, poor implementation and optimization of the graphics and even its sound might be the downfall of this game. The gameplay itself isn’t exactly very unique either, which makes me feel like this game is more of a “proof of concept”-type of game rather than an actual game that human players would actually like to play.
Although I personally wouldn’t recommend sloughing through the game at its current conditions, you might still want to check this game out. The 3D part does really bring out many of the elements in the game and if you’re lucky, your game might not have lagged as much, making it a much more bearable gaming experience.
