Ingress vs Tartaros Rebirth
Ingress
Ingress is one of the world's first augmented reality game that uses Google Maps as a core part of its gameplay. The predecessor of games like Pokemon Go, Ingress, lets you side with either "The Enlightened" who embraces the energy and wants to use it, or "The Resistance" who refuses to let the foreign force taint our humanity, in a heated conflict over the control of a powerful yet mysterious force unearthed by a team of scientists in Europe.The game will have you tap on various sources of the energy to acquire items to aid you in your quest, deploy advanced tech to capture territories for your faction and work cooperatively with other players from your side to advance the goal of your faction.
Ingress is the first of its kind to completely transform the way you see the world. The way the game seems to merge seamlessly with the real world makes the game more relatable to its players, allowing them to really feel as though they are a part of the action rather than playing the game through an avatar like a traditional RPG.
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.
