Atlantica Online vs Robothorium
Atlantica Online
Atlantica Online is a pretty old MMORPG that has been around since 2008. As opposed to the usual action-based or even the hack-and-slash gameplay that most MMORPGs offer, this game is perhaps the first of its kind (and by "kind" we mean Free-to-play MMOs) to merge strategy/tactics with RPG, allowing players to fight their enemies using a team of mercs rather than just a single main hero. In fact, this gameplay formula has actually been adopted and used in many browser-based MMOs today.Although ultimately the main villian in the game is Riederani and his army, the storyline in this game is also slightly different based on which faction you choose to opt for, either the Scion or the Atlantian. There are plenty of character classes too, each playing their own roles within the team. Despite its age, Atlantica Online still sports a robust in-game economy and is a strong proponent of fairplay when it comes to PvP.
However, the best part about this game is its link to events happening in real life. The game itself is based on the real map of the world we live in and as such, major events that recently happened or had happened ages ago in our world will be manisfested, one way or another, in the game. How awesome is that?
Atlantica Online might not remotely resemble the graphical quality of today's MMORPGs, but the game itself is unique and fun enough to stick around until today. This speaks volume about the value that this game brings to the lives of many gamers worldwide, doesn't it? If you enjoy being intrigued by games and you don't really mind poorer visuals, then this is a game you should try out.
Robothorium
Robothorium is a fairly old-school style, turn-based dungeon crawler/RPG that’s set in a far futuristic world where an impending “world war” is about to break out among the machines and humans. The game features team management, where you'll get to level up, upgrade and equip every robot in your team just so you can take on tougher enemies later down the road, and plenty of fun loot management, just like what you'd find in any good dungeon crawler.Combat-wise, the game has a pretty typical turn-based gameplay where special skills are regulated and offset by basic attack skills via the Overload system in order to prevent players from spamming them. Robothorium also provides a PvP arena for those who are more competitive and want to pit their team against other teams in their attempt to climb the ranks of the leaderboard.
Overall, I'd say Robothorium is a pretty decent turn-based, dungeon crawler-style RPG that's not only fun to play; it is also the sort of game that will make you really think about your actions since there are both immediate consequences, in the form of reputation gain or loss, as well as other consequences that will emerge later down the line.
