9th Dawn vs Shadowbound
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.
Shadowbound
Shadowbound is a browser-based MMORPG by R2 Games that provides players with a range of features that are customary in browser-based MMORPGs, such as item enhancement, all-powerful guardians and mercenaries that can be recruited to join your team, mounts, pets, PvE dungeons, PvP arenas, wings, auto-routing for quests, guilds, and auto-combat, as well as a cliche storyline. Like most of its simular games, you can expect tons of fun timely events to help break the monotony of simply leveling up and upgrading your team of characters.The thing is Shadowbound doesn't really offer something... anything... that can help it gain extra recognition from even among R2 Games' other casual MMOs. This is quite unfortunate because this is a rather decent browser MMOPRG. That said, if you are itching for a casual MMORPG to play, you might want to check out Shadowbound. It can definitely help you scratch that itch away.
