Despot's Game vs Record of Lodoss War Online
Despot's Game
Despot's Game is a whimsical roguelike with an auto-battler-style combat and a pretty strategic gameplay. In this game, you’ve found yourself in the middle of a battle-to-the-death contest organized by a maniacal talking computer screen. Luckily, you won’t be partaking in the battles yourself. Instead, you “recruit” puny humans and equip them with various weapons so they could survive enemy encounters and descend deeper to the next level where tougher enemies reside. There are boss fights, numerous strategic ways to upgrade your “unwilling gladiators” and to produce more food to feed your army, and funny encounters with the denizens of the arena dungeon you’re in.
Record of Lodoss War Online
Record of Lodoss War Online is a somewhat old-school, anime-themed MMORPG that has a unique top-down-like view (much like in Drakensang Online), a straightforward hack-and-slash combat, and a storyline that’s intriguing enough to make you stick around. Set in a world on the verge of being plunged into yet again another war, you play a promising adventurer who has uncovered a plot by the evil sorcerer, Bagnard - he is hellbent on bringing back the evil gods and their armies of doom. Naturally, you can't let his plans come to fruition.In addition to its unique Reaction skills that works in a combo-like manner, this dungeon-crawling game also features a myriad of dungeons to challenge with friends, a merc system where you can recruit NPCs to aid you in your adventures, and also a dual-leveling system where you level up both your character and your character’s ranking in the Adventurer’s Association. There are plenty of other features in this game as well, including the mercenary system where you can recruit up to 2 other NPCs to join you in your adventures; fun stat-boosting titles to earn, free teleports to town, and an account-wide vault where you can use to transfer gear or other items between characters. Players can also set up their own stalls, a.k.a. “Sales Agency”, to sell items they don’t need.
Record of Lodoss War Online may be grindy, like most MMORPGs are, but it's a pretty decent dungeon-crawling game overall. The beautiful and adorable anime graphics, the incredible title theme as well as its simple-to-grasp gameplay made it a fun game to play even in this day and age.
