Aura Kingdom vs Zenonia S: Rifts in Time
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).
Zenonia S: Rifts in Time
Zenonia S: Rifts in Time is an anime-inspired MMORPG title - the first of its kind - within the Zenonia game series. Apparently, Gamevil has given up adding numbers to their single-player Zenonia series and have created something of a spin-off MMO. Regardless of the major shift from single to multiplayer, the game still retains the charm that has rocketed the series to fame in the first place - it's Legend of Zelda-like experience albeit in a more anime format.Being an MMO now, the game provids players with an online hub of sorts - a virtual town - to interact with each other and with various helpful NPCs including quest givers and PvP arena ringmasters. The game also features the usual hack-and-slash combat system, many character classes and pretty graphics.
Although it's nice that the game's now a multiplayer game, we feel like the game has not really made the most of its multiplayer function and had restricted itself in terms of the features that are available. Not to mention, having a great storyline has never been this series' storng suit and this weakness is very evident in this game.
All in all though, if you've always wanted to try an MMO version of Zenonia, this game definitely fit the bill in spite of some of its downsides. After all, it's a free game. So, download it today on your mobile devices and give it a try!
