Baldur's Gate vs Drakensang Online
Baldur's Gate
Baldur's Gate is an age-old RPG/dungeon crawler that has captivated the hearts of many. Originally released back in 1998, Baldur’s Gate is possibly the very first RPG that has paved the way to the emergence of some of the more modern titles like the Dungeon & Dragons computer game franchise. The game is played in a pretty much team-based fashion where you will get to recruit heroes to your team and lead them into dungeons and other dangerous places in the Sword Coast to fight a wide variety of monsters in hopes of getting more loot... and of course the truth behind the sinister forces that are at work fuelling the tension that is about to break into an all-out war.This enhanced edition of the game also include a nice upgrade to its graphics (but don't expect visuals like The Witcher 3 though) and over 400 tweaks to improve the game experience overall. It also contain new adventures, characters and voice acting for the characters. The game even added in multiplayer support so you can play this game with your friends online!
Baldur's Gate is possibly the "father of all modern RPGs" and if you're curious how this timeless RPG can give birth to other epic RPGs or if you're simply nostalgic, you can get the game at a modest price on Steam and on your mobile devices.
Drakensang Online
Drakensang Online is an extremely well-made browser-based MMORPG of the dungeon-crawling variety set in the ruined world of Dracania. Based on the hugely popular series of Drakensang games, this game features tons of dungeons (of course), 4 different modes of PvP, 4 different character classes, as well as various collectable pets and mounts. The game mechanics are pretty awesome too despite being a browser game. In fact, Drakensang Online is possibly the only dungeon crawler that you can play on your browser that is not 2D or text-based!However, like most games, there are some obvious downsides to Drakensang Online, including the lack of shared inventory between characters, the lack of trading between players and well, the quests can get a bit repetitive as you reach the higher levels. Many features in this game requires premium currency, Andermants, too, but it's good to know that at least F2P players can sink in the necessary time and effort to farm for them. Due to this, the game is not exactly a P2W but rather a "pay to get convenience".
Overall, Drakensang Online a great dungeon crawler to play, particularly if you enjoy games like Path of Exile. It may be the "lesser" version of PoE but well, you can play this game directly on your browser - what's not awesome about that?
