Genshin Impact vs Tartaros Rebirth
Genshin Impact
Genshin Impact is an open-world RPG where players get to play as the Traveler, taking the form of either Aether and Lumine, in the massive world known as Teyvat. It’s a free-to-play single-player title with optional co-op, and players are treated to a journey like no other.Featuring stories from across various regions, it follows a gripping, anime-like tale of the Traveler trying to reunite with their sibling while performing quests for the locals. You can collect treasures, use many weapons, and create a team of characters wielding different weapon types and varying elemental affinities to challenge and defeat bosses. There are seven elements in total, and it’s a must to build a formidable roster to have an easier time with the Abyss Order, Fatui, and bosses like Dyvalin and Azhdaha.
Genshin Impact has a large selection of events and story quests for players, yielding a plethora of in-game rewards. Activities range from designing your home domain, gliding challenges, exciting co-op battles, and time-attack challenges. As of today, it’s still a game in progress, and there are more planned events and content in the future.
If you’re looking for a top-notch action RPG with an astonishingly beautiful world and a cast of outstanding characters, Genshin Impact is your best bet.
Tartaros Rebirth
Tartaros Rebirth is the revived version of the anime-themed MMORPG that was popular back in the 2000s, Tartaros Online. Featuring everything you know and love from back in the day, this game has something new to offer as well, such as brand-new storylines. Like the original, you'll get to play as one of nine unique characters, each with their own personalities and skillsets. You can switch between them while you're in town, but not in dungeons or instances. Questing is the main way to level up in this game and the grind is real. However, there are tons of places for you to explore and you can even use higher level characters to complete quests for your lower level characters to turn in.The combat system is rather clunky though, so is its controls with keys that you'll probably have to rebind. Battles are played out in a semi-action-based manner, but since you can't really dodge, block or dash away from danger, all the "non-action" can be a bit underwhelming. Not to mention, the graphics isn't updated somehow and although it may have been acceptable back then, it is definitely not something that will appeal to players in this day and age.
So, in short, Tartaros Rebirth is a great anime-themed game to play, despite sharing many similarities with Dragon Nest, for nostalgic purposes but if you're simply looking for a new anime game to play, you might have a better time playing Lineage II: Revolution.
