MapleStory M vs Trove
MapleStory M
MapleStory M is the mobile successor of one of the world's most popular, 2D side-scrolling, anime-themed MMORPG. Designed specifically for the mobile platform, this game not only provides players with a whole new storyline but also brand-new regions to explore (in addition to all the old ones), amazing features to enjoy, gorgeous cosmetic items to put on, as well as challenging dungeons to raid and raid bosses to defeat.Like its predecessor, MapleStory M is completely free-to-play, though f2p players may find the game a bit grindy if they insist on spending no money on the game. The game is available on both Android and iOS.
Trove
Trove is a voxel-based sandbox MMORPG that is quite similar to the insanely-popular game, Minecraft. Uniquely though, Trove has a lot more of the MMO element rather than Minecraft. You can play as any 1 of the whopping 14 character classes available and venture out into the many different biomes and worlds to search for resources (both common and rare) to gather, dungeons to conquer and randomly-spawned world bosses to defeat. There are even plenty of cool-looking mounts and pets that you can search for and collect.Not to mention, you can have fun turning the stuff you've collected into various tools and weapons via the game's in-depth crafting system too. Or you could simply use these blocks as building materials to construct your own home in allocated spots scattered throughout the game world. Interestingly, the game also allows players to use its sandbox feature to design and build amazing dungeons. All submitted player-made dungeons will then be judged by the developers and a select few will then make it into the actual game world. How amazing it would be to see players trying their darnest to raid a dungeon you've built!
It's a no brainer that if you enjoy Minecraft but find its multiplayer a bit lacking, then you'll love Trove. However, we would definitely recommend this game to anyone who loves voxel-based sandbox games like Roblox and Kogama as well.
