Blockland vs Zenonia S: Rifts in Time
Blockland
Blockland may be a voxel-based sandbox game in name, same as games like Minecraft, Roblox and others, but in reality, the game is a whole lot more unique due to its Lego-like features. In fact, due to its looks, many have likened the game to the unfortunately shuttered Lego Minifigures Online. Playable in single player or multiplayer, the game allows its players to unleash their creativity by creating literally anything they can think of. The game also has tons of different blocks, textures and assets (pre-made stuff) to cater to their creative needs, allowing players to come up with the most exciting mini-games and mazes as well as beautiful locations for themselves and their friends to hang out at. Players can even drive cars (sometimes vertically up the wall of a building, breaking all rules of perceived gravity in the game), ride bikes, pilot planes, and more.Although the game is no longer getting updates and apparently its community has been dwindling, Blockland is still an amazing game that answers the question of what Minecraft would look like if its "Lego-fied".

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!
