Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen vs Shadowbound
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!
Shadowbound
Shadowbound is a browser-based MMORPG by R2 Games that provides players with a range of features that are customary in browser-based MMORPGs, such as item enhancement, all-powerful guardians and mercenaries that can be recruited to join your team, mounts, pets, PvE dungeons, PvP arenas, wings, auto-routing for quests, guilds, and auto-combat, as well as a cliche storyline. Like most of its simular games, you can expect tons of fun timely events to help break the monotony of simply leveling up and upgrading your team of characters.The thing is Shadowbound doesn't really offer something... anything... that can help it gain extra recognition from even among R2 Games' other casual MMOs. This is quite unfortunate because this is a rather decent browser MMOPRG. That said, if you are itching for a casual MMORPG to play, you might want to check out Shadowbound. It can definitely help you scratch that itch away.
