Rappelz vs Tartaros Rebirth
Rappelz
Rappelz is an MMORPG that was released in 2009 and developed by Gala Lab in South Korea. It features a traditional dark fantasy world with familiar mechanics, such as running dungeons, questing and PvPing. The game also has three distinct races that provide different lore and a set of character classes to unlock through character progression. Interestingly though, it also has an amazing pet system where players can capture and train their own pets so they can aid them in battle.Despite being an old game with somewhat outdated visuals, Rappelz still has some interesting features that anyone can still enjoy trying it out. The best part though is that the game still receives new content update every month to keep players hooked. It has recently been updated with a brand-new expansion and this is not something that's about to stop any time soon!
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.
