Drakensang Online vs Realm of the Mad God
Drakensang Online
Drakensang Online is an extremely well-made browser-based MMORPG of the dungeon-crawling variety set in the ruined world of Dracania. Based on the hugely popular series of Drakensang games, this game features tons of dungeons (of course), 4 different modes of PvP, 4 different character classes, as well as various collectable pets and mounts. The game mechanics are pretty awesome too despite being a browser game. In fact, Drakensang Online is possibly the only dungeon crawler that you can play on your browser that is not 2D or text-based!However, like most games, there are some obvious downsides to Drakensang Online, including the lack of shared inventory between characters, the lack of trading between players and well, the quests can get a bit repetitive as you reach the higher levels. Many features in this game requires premium currency, Andermants, too, but it's good to know that at least F2P players can sink in the necessary time and effort to farm for them. Due to this, the game is not exactly a P2W but rather a "pay to get convenience".
Overall, Drakensang Online a great dungeon crawler to play, particularly if you enjoy games like Path of Exile. It may be the "lesser" version of PoE but well, you can play this game directly on your browser - what's not awesome about that?
Realm of the Mad God
Realm of the Mad God is a rather addictively fun dungeon crawler that originated as a web game on Kongregate. The game is set in the realm of a mad god called Oryx, who is intent on doing his best to swamp you with monsters and creatures so you'd die... and being a hardcore game, your death is pretty much permanent. Like most dungeon crawlers, there are a crazy load of items you can loot and equip to help your character survive a little while longer. Interestingly, each item you get in the game has its own unique, and sometimes hilarious, lore behind it.The gameplay is incredibly fun as well. The action combat mainly consists of running and gunning, though recklessness and getting yourself overwhelmed is always a lingering possibility. The boss fights in this game is very challenging too, sometimes requiring you to work cooperatively with other players in order to be victorious. Don't worry - the experience you get is shared.
Realm of the Mad God proves once again that a game simply need to be entertaining, easily accessible and visually functional to be a hit game. If you enjoy dungeon crawlers that is just all around fun, this is the game to play.
