Eden Eternal vs Record of Lodoss War Online
Eden Eternal
Eden Eternal is an anime-based MMORPG developed by X-Legend, the developing company behind popular anime titles, like Grand Fantasia and Kitsu Saga. The game features a very unique, but can be rather overwhelming character class system. It also provides other character stats customization including class talents, character traits and 5 different races. Combat in this game is augmented with a battle pet system whereby you can train your own battle pet to help you deal extra damage or to provide you with heals instead. The game even has a soulmate system, in which couples are given special lovers’ skills, except in PvP environments, when they are playing together. In addition to the usual PvE and PvP MMO fare, there is a crafting system whereby you can craft your own weapons, an auction house, guild towns and treasure hunting as well!The world in Eden Eternal is being torn apart by racial strife and only you can stop it… the only question left here is… can you do it?
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.
