Age of Conan: Unchained vs Robomaniac
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.
Robomaniac
Robomaniac is a casual RPG that follows in the footsteps of games like Hero Zero. However, instead of casting you as the neighborhood superhero, you get to build and customize your own robot in this game. Set on the planet of Centerra, the world is almost devoid of human life due to a massive catastrophic event that had happened 30 years ago. After the radiation levels returned to normal, the robots that those colonials left behind began to reactivate and eventually, a thriving but "dog-eat-dog"-style society of robots grew from the ashes of the previous human civilization.Much like Hero Zero or any other browser-based casual RPGs, you'll need to make your character the best that it can be by not only taking on friendlies and rivals in duels and other PvP-oriented matches; you will also need to spend the Credits you've earned in improving your bot just so it can beat up tougher bots later down the road. The game also features fun mission-based quests, plenty of crazy upgrades, and of course, a humorous tone that may just tickle your funny bone from time to time.
The English version of Robomaniac has recently been released. So, if you like casual RPGs, you might want to give this game a try!
