Dark Souls III: The Fire Fades vs Zenonia S: Rifts in Time
Dark Souls III: The Fire Fades
Dark Souls III: The Fire Fades is possibly the last in the game series and it only seemed right for it to return to its roots with lots of throwbacks to the original game that had made the franchise famous. Dark Souls 3 has a gameplay that many would say is quite similar to the first game thought the developers do attempt to spice it up with a Poise mechanism which frankly kinda fell short. The game also gave the dungeon crawling genre a nod by providing the most in-depth and impressive character customization system where you literally can design whichever build you like.Of course, there are still the usual stuff like fun quests, a compelling storyline and a well-made co-op mode. However, some players have given the developers some hell for the insane amount of latency they are experiencing in the game's multiplayer PvP.
Despite some of its flaws, Dark Souls 3 is still a great game to end a brilliant game series. Fans of the franchise should definitely get this game. Newcomers on the other hand should get the first two games before getting this one.
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!
