Dragon Nest vs Fairy Tail: Hero's Journey
Dragon Nest
Dragon Nest is an anime-themed MMORPG that features adorable "chibi" characters who pack a punch when it comes to combat. Unlike other Korean-made titles, Dragon Nest is among the first of its kind to turn its questing areas into instanced zones that can be entered solo or in a group, while keeping cities and quest hubs multiplayer. Of course, that's not including the game's amazing action-based combat that is integral to its gameplay. Featuring flashy and insanely-cool animations and sound effects, Dragon Nest made itself camera-ready for streamers, YouTubers and normal players alike.Character progression in this game is quite different as well. After choosing 1 out of 7 classes, players will be able to later specialize into 1 of 2 sub-classes. Each class has their own unique set of abilities and skills too, allowing for players to obtain a fresh perspective on the gameplay simply by playing another class. Of course, Dragon Nest also has among the most beautiful and memorable soundtracks available.
Surprisingly though, there isn't a lot of MMORPGs that follow in the footsteps that this amazing game has set, but in some way, this is probably a good thing - Dragon Nest's unique approach to being an MMO is, until this very day, a main reason why this game stands out.
Fairy Tail: Hero's Journey
Fairy Tail: Hero's Journey is actually an official browser MMO game for the popular magic-dueling anime, Fairy Tail, unlike some of the anime MMOs we've encountered so far. Featuring all the familiar cast of characters, this game will pit your team of hand-picked heroes against the anime’s biggest villains as you battle your way through the Grand Magic Games and hopefully, help your guild, Fairy Tail, secure its title of being the most powerful magic guild in Fiore. However, things don’t go as planned and soon enough, you may find yourself embroiled in an adventure that’s much more intriguing…The game plays out much like your typical browser MMO. This basically means that combat is automated and questing is semi-automated as well. You won't be fighting alone either - you will eventually be able to assemble a team of mages, along with a pet and mount, to help you along in your journey. These mages, mount and pet can of course be upgraded to increase their combat efficiency and hence, your overall combat power.
Fairy Tail: Hero's Journey may have the blessing and perhaps even backing of the actual anime franchise, but the game isn't exactly breaking the typical mould that defines a browser MMO. It's fun enough for fans of the anime and for casual-like MMOs though, and if you're among the players who fall into one of these two camps, you'll want to give the game a try.
