Record of Lodoss War Online vs Sword Art Online
Record of Lodoss War Online
Record of Lodoss War Online is a somewhat old-school, anime-themed MMORPG that has a unique top-down-like view (much like in Drakensang Online), a straightforward hack-and-slash combat, and a storyline that’s intriguing enough to make you stick around. Set in a world on the verge of being plunged into yet again another war, you play a promising adventurer who has uncovered a plot by the evil sorcerer, Bagnard - he is hellbent on bringing back the evil gods and their armies of doom. Naturally, you can't let his plans come to fruition.In addition to its unique Reaction skills that works in a combo-like manner, this dungeon-crawling game also features a myriad of dungeons to challenge with friends, a merc system where you can recruit NPCs to aid you in your adventures, and also a dual-leveling system where you level up both your character and your character’s ranking in the Adventurer’s Association. There are plenty of other features in this game as well, including the mercenary system where you can recruit up to 2 other NPCs to join you in your adventures; fun stat-boosting titles to earn, free teleports to town, and an account-wide vault where you can use to transfer gear or other items between characters. Players can also set up their own stalls, a.k.a. “Sales Agency”, to sell items they don’t need.
Record of Lodoss War Online may be grindy, like most MMORPGs are, but it's a pretty decent dungeon-crawling game overall. The beautiful and adorable anime graphics, the incredible title theme as well as its simple-to-grasp gameplay made it a fun game to play even in this day and age.
Sword Art Online
Sword Art Online , published by Instant Funs - the very people behind the successful idle-like MMO game, Pokemon Mega, is a free-to-play, anime-themed, idle-like MMORPG that puts you in the shoes of a participant in the virtual yet ruthless world of Aincrad where you have to level up and improve in order to survive. Although the game doesn't really put much focus on its storyline - it's pretty much non-existent, its gameplay can still be quite entertaining to play.As you may expect from an idle-like game, you don't really get to play your character, whether you chose the swordsman, the archer or the mage. In spite of its automatic combat, however, the game has tons of other stuff for you to do including upgrading your weapon and armor, honing your skills, and smelting items you don’t need. There are plenty of PvE dungeons, including instances where you can farm for upgrade materials or monster hunts where you can get legendary gear, as well as PvP arena and cross-server tournaments to boot!
So, regardless of whether you know what its namesake is all about, you might still want to give Sword Art Online a try especially if you enjoy idle-like MMOs. The game will just suck you right in!
