Arcania: Gothic 4 vs Zenonia 5
Arcania: Gothic 4
Arcania: Gothic 4 returns as the fourth and possibly the final installment of the Gothic series. This time, you take on the role of a nameless hero who just had his village destroyed by the king's paladins. However, as you set off on your quest of vengeance, you gradually realize that this event is driven by a malicious hidden power. The storyline is so much better in this installment due to the many surprises, plot twists and cliffhangers, and it does have a pretty nice combat system.However, many players put some flak to this game mainly because the game isn't exactly "Gothic" but pretending to be by using the "Gothic" name, but partly because the game does have some boring quests. That said, the game is still a pretty decent RPG.
Zenonia 5
Zenonia 5 is an anime action RPG and the most recent sequel to the main Zenonia series. Although the game offers a lot more of the same things (controls and gameplay), it does provide players with a fresh new selection of classes and characters, namely Abel the Berserker, Neal the Wizard, Ryan the Paladin and Evan the Gunslinger, along with a brand new storyline. Due to the use of specific named characters, you'll have limited options when it comes to character customization.It seems like Gamevil leanred their lesson from Zenonia 4, allowing Zenonia 5 to be a much better version. They have even polished up all the typos and mispellings that litter the previous game. So, if you really want to try Zenonia, then Zenonia 5 is perhaps a great game to start the series with.
