Kingdom Hearts 2 vs Tartaros Rebirth
Kingdom Hearts 2
Kingdom Hearts 2 is a pretty old game but it is still very well-received sequel to the original Kingdom Hearts game. In this game, you play as Sora as he, Donald and Goofy continued their quest, starting from the small and quiet Twilight Town which straddles between night and day. Aside from the usual Disney worlds, you'll be treated to brand-new ones such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Beauty and the Beast, and Mulan. The game even boasts of having a much advanced and flexible combat system, allowing for powerful new combos and cooperative attacks. Not to mention, Sora now has a new "Drive" command that can change him into an array of new forms, modifying his skills and abilities as he morphs. Travel from world to world in style through the game's brilliant theme park-styled rides too!Kingdom Hearts 2 is an amazing game in its own right, and despite its age, the game still stands really well on its own until today. If you love the Kingdom Hearts games, you might want to check out this one as well.
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.
