Fairy Tail: Hero's Journey vs Monster Hunter Stories
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.
Monster Hunter Stories
Monster Hunter Stories is a Pokemon-like version of the famous Monster Hunter game franchise where you venture into monster nests to collect eggs, hatch them into a wide variety of monsters, assemble the best of the hatchlings into teams and challenge the game's AI or other players via the multiplayer mode to battle. The combat system in this iconic series has been reworked to fit its new gameplay, opting for a turn-based, rock-paper-scissors combat system that is the series' first. Best yet, you can even get into customizing the skills and attributes of the monster hatchlings you get by breeding. And of course, the game is made complete with an exciting storyline that will keep you hooked to the game til the very end.Monster Hunter Series is honestly a breath of fresh air from the usual action-adventure gameplay you might be familair with. This unique combination of features also made this game a great entry point for newcomers looking to get into the Monster Hunter game series.
