Aura Kingdom vs Fairy Tail: Hero's Journey
Aura Kingdom
Aura Kingdom is an anime-themed MMORPG that features a well-written storyline, stunning graphics and amusing dialogues that make the game feel vibrant. The game also provides players with an exciting and dynamic combat system to enjoy the game with.Aura Kingdom focuses mainly on the PvE aspect, and thus, you can expect tons of dungeon raids, quests (which are unfortunately a bit grindy) and even world bosses to hunt for. Of course, that is not to say that Aura Kingdom doesn't have any PvP arenas either - it does. The most unique part in this game though is its Pokemon-like Eidolons that you can collect. In some way, this urge to collect will drive you to great lengths to search for every Eidolon you can find.
The gameplay in Aura Kingdom is admittedly not very unique. Even the Eidolon-collecting part, although it is still very enjoyable, has been done multiple times before... some by browser-based games nonetheless! But this game just oozes out charm by the truck load and this is something that might convince you to stay (in the game).
Fairy Tail: Hero's Journey
Fairy Tail: Hero's Journey is actually an official browser MMO game for the popular magic-dueling anime, Fairy Tail, unlike some of the anime MMOs we've encountered so far. Featuring all the familiar cast of characters, this game will pit your team of hand-picked heroes against the anime’s biggest villains as you battle your way through the Grand Magic Games and hopefully, help your guild, Fairy Tail, secure its title of being the most powerful magic guild in Fiore. However, things don’t go as planned and soon enough, you may find yourself embroiled in an adventure that’s much more intriguing…The game plays out much like your typical browser MMO. This basically means that combat is automated and questing is semi-automated as well. You won't be fighting alone either - you will eventually be able to assemble a team of mages, along with a pet and mount, to help you along in your journey. These mages, mount and pet can of course be upgraded to increase their combat efficiency and hence, your overall combat power.
Fairy Tail: Hero's Journey may have the blessing and perhaps even backing of the actual anime franchise, but the game isn't exactly breaking the typical mould that defines a browser MMO. It's fun enough for fans of the anime and for casual-like MMOs though, and if you're among the players who fall into one of these two camps, you'll want to give the game a try.
