Final Fantasy Brave Exvius vs Zenonia S: Rifts in Time
Final Fantasy Brave Exvius
Final Fantasy Brave Exvius is a mobile MMORPG focusing on collecting heroes and assembling strong teams. The characters in the game are almost all based on the popular Final Fantasy franchise from Square Enix so you might see more than your fair share of familiar faces if you're a hardcore Final Fantasy fan, but the game does throw in some originals specially designed for Brave Exvius. New heroes can be obtained by completing missions or you can choose to improve your existing heroes by leveling them up and upgrading their grade and skills.Aside from the brilliant attack animations, the gameplay is very easy to grasp but if you want to delve into the game's deeper level of combat that requires some extra tactical know-how and strategic planning. There are plenty of dungeons and worlds for you to explore too but the paths aren't always linear - you may find secret routes that hide some extra rewards for the naturally curious. For the PvP-inclined, there are thrilling arena battles that you can dive into as well!
Final Fantasy Brave Exvius may not be anything like the namesake it is based on - it is a lot more casual just so it can cater to mobile gamers, but the game is still a Final Fantasy game through and through. The storyline in this game is a rather nice addition to the overall story and the characters are pretty much still the same.
Zenonia S: Rifts in Time
Zenonia S: Rifts in Time is an anime-inspired MMORPG title - the first of its kind - within the Zenonia game series. Apparently, Gamevil has given up adding numbers to their single-player Zenonia series and have created something of a spin-off MMO. Regardless of the major shift from single to multiplayer, the game still retains the charm that has rocketed the series to fame in the first place - it's Legend of Zelda-like experience albeit in a more anime format.Being an MMO now, the game provids players with an online hub of sorts - a virtual town - to interact with each other and with various helpful NPCs including quest givers and PvP arena ringmasters. The game also features the usual hack-and-slash combat system, many character classes and pretty graphics.
Although it's nice that the game's now a multiplayer game, we feel like the game has not really made the most of its multiplayer function and had restricted itself in terms of the features that are available. Not to mention, having a great storyline has never been this series' storng suit and this weakness is very evident in this game.
All in all though, if you've always wanted to try an MMO version of Zenonia, this game definitely fit the bill in spite of some of its downsides. After all, it's a free game. So, download it today on your mobile devices and give it a try!
