Cabal 2 vs Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
Cabal 2
Cabal 2 , developed by ESTsoft Corp, is a rather underrated MMORPG. This is mainly because the game has a storyline that's as immersive and rich as Skyforge or Revelation Online, a stunning open world known as Ektensia for you to explore as you wish, various character classes to play as, and excitingly fast-paced and skill-based combat to master. There are plenty of challenging dungeons, instances, and even, for the PvP-inclined, battlefields for you to test your mettle in, as well as a fun yet in-depth crafting system to take advantage of.Cabal 2 may not be on everyone's lips unlike hugely popular MMORPGs like World of Warcraft, but the game is incredibly well-made and enjoyable to play. The only thing it sorely lacks is a massive player population and well... by playing this game or at least try it out, you'll be helping to rectify this issue.
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen casts you into the role of an adventurer leading a band of three AI companions (a.k.a. Pawns) as you set off into a huge and gorgeous open world in search of fame, glory and treasures. One of the main selling points in this game is the incredibly well-designed combat system where you'll actually need to approach your battles and your opponents strategically rather than simply rush head-on. Find out the weaknesses of your enemies and attack them at their achilles' heel.The game also has some of the most amazing AI learning systems in place where the combat style of each Pawn will change depending on the traits learned from the player. In other words, you can literally train your Pawns to fill in the roles you need them to be. Whether you'll train them as a versatile fighter or to play a very specific role in your group... well, that's entirely up to you. Players will even have a ton of options to choose from when it comes to customizing their characters.
Despite the slightly weaker storyline, Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen is one of the best monster-hunting and slaying RPGs out there where the action-based gameplay feels smooth and realistic enough to immerse you completely during intense battles with monstrous creatures. If this sounds just like a game you'd like to play, be sure to give the game a try!
