Age of Conan: Unchained vs Cabal 2
Age of Conan: Unchained
Age of Conan: Unchained is an MMORPG that's based on the timeless classic comic and TV series, Conan the Barbarian. Featuring one of the best fantasy-themed lore, the game also has a very unique action-based combat system that, despite its steep learning curve, is comparable to that of TERA... though, we'd say that combat in this game is much more varied. You can weave spells, attempt to capture battlekeeps with massive siege machines and even enjoy some good ol' mounted combat that is surprisingly not at all too clunky. However, you should bear in mind that this MMO has been around for quite some time, so the graphics in this game might be a tad bit old fashioned.What we love the most about Age of Conan is that the game actually rewards players who go off the beaten track and explore the secret corners of the world that questlines will never bring you to. The shift from being a subscription-based MMO to becoming a free-to-play MMO has been very well-received too, mainly because it injects a certain amount of much-needed players into its population and well, it allows newcomers to try the game out at no cost.
All in all, Age of Conan is a solid MMORPG that is very well-suited for players who like to explore and a challenge. Hardcore fans of Conan may want to try this game out as well, even if it's only to experience the different storylines in the game.
Cabal 2
Cabal 2 , developed by ESTsoft Corp, is a rather underrated MMORPG. This is mainly because the game has a storyline that's as immersive and rich as Skyforge or Revelation Online, a stunning open world known as Ektensia for you to explore as you wish, various character classes to play as, and excitingly fast-paced and skill-based combat to master. There are plenty of challenging dungeons, instances, and even, for the PvP-inclined, battlefields for you to test your mettle in, as well as a fun yet in-depth crafting system to take advantage of.Cabal 2 may not be on everyone's lips unlike hugely popular MMORPGs like World of Warcraft, but the game is incredibly well-made and enjoyable to play. The only thing it sorely lacks is a massive player population and well... by playing this game or at least try it out, you'll be helping to rectify this issue.
