Monster Hunter Rise vs Shadowbound
Monster Hunter Rise
Monster Hunter Rise is the latest game in the universally-acclaimed Monster Hunter series, which will be available on Steam on January 12th. Originally released on the Nintendo Switch, the game takes place in a new world centered around the Kamura Village, the central hub. However, people living there fear the Rampage, a series of destructive events that caused monsters to attack it. The most recent one occurred 50 years ago, and it nearly wiped out the entire village.As a monster hunter, you’ll explore the world surrounding the village, which is filled with vibrant and dynamic ecosystems, from lush forests and arid deserts to frozen wastelands and volcanic outcrops. Of course, the staple gameplay of tracking and engaging monsters in long, action-packed fights using weapons like the longsword, hammer, charge blade, and bowguns are still there. This time, the monsters are a little different since many of them are inspired by Japanese folklore, like the Magnamalo, Aknosom, and Great Izuchi. However, familiar beasts like the Rathalos, Tigrex, and Khezu are around. If you need help, you can participate in hunts with friends and other players, especially against Apex monsters.
Whether you’re an MH franchise veteran or a newbie, Monster Hunter Rise should definitely be on your crosshairs.
Shadowbound
Shadowbound is a browser-based MMORPG by R2 Games that provides players with a range of features that are customary in browser-based MMORPGs, such as item enhancement, all-powerful guardians and mercenaries that can be recruited to join your team, mounts, pets, PvE dungeons, PvP arenas, wings, auto-routing for quests, guilds, and auto-combat, as well as a cliche storyline. Like most of its simular games, you can expect tons of fun timely events to help break the monotony of simply leveling up and upgrading your team of characters.The thing is Shadowbound doesn't really offer something... anything... that can help it gain extra recognition from even among R2 Games' other casual MMOs. This is quite unfortunate because this is a rather decent browser MMOPRG. That said, if you are itching for a casual MMORPG to play, you might want to check out Shadowbound. It can definitely help you scratch that itch away.
