Crusaders of Solaria
Crusaders of Solaria by R2 games is a fun and fast-paced browser MMORPG that's set in a tumultuous fantasy world of Solaria where it's paradise by day and is crawling with evil creatures at night. Playing as one of the two classes available - either a warrior or a mage, you'll set off on an exciting adventure to slay the biggest and baddest creatures in the region through the game's flashy combat sequence. Another interesting thing about this game is that all the premium items you can buy fromm the game shop only have a temporary effect, so this somewhat offset some of the more powerful items on sale, giving free-to-play players a fighting chance to gain lost ground.Crusaders of Solaria is a rather old, web-based casual MMORPG and the fact that it has managed to last this long is a testament to how entertaining it is to hundreds and thousands of players worldwide. So, if you have some free time on your hands, you might want to check this game out.
Hyper Light Drifter
Hyper Light Drifter is an action-adventure RPG with a very unique pixel-based art style and a fun gameplay that will keep you coming back for more. The storyline in this game is pretty bleak since you play as a drifter who happens to have an odd but vicious disease that keeps haunting your thoughts and dodging your every move. By traveling to the dark and savage lands of Buried Time, you hope to find a way to finally be free of this illness.Being ill, you aren't exactly in your fighting prime and so, instead of relying on your frailing strength, combat in this game mainly involves dashing away to avoid blows and trying to strike the enemy in between dashes. In some way, it may feel like being the less burly underdog in a WWE match. There are plenty of weapons to help you though, along with a variety of incredible skills which you can master.
The world you play in is also quite vast, with plenty of hidden nooks and crannies - usually with a bonus reward in them - for you to find. In addition to the story mode, there is a horde mode (endless) as well where you can truly put your combat skills to the test. However, one of the best things about this game is the soundtrack which somehow seems to complement the game's graphics and its overall atmosphere perfectly.
With the unique pixel art and the old-school feel, Hyper Light Drifter may not be everyone's cup of tea, but if you do enjoy such games, you'll find that this game is truly a hidden indie gem.
