Sword Art Online: Memory Defrag vs Zenonia S: Rifts in Time
Sword Art Online: Memory Defrag
Sword Art Online: Memory Defrag is a rather unique mobile MMORPG that follows the popular anime and light novel series of the same name, Sword Art Online. In this game, you'll be playing as a low-level Kirito and will be attempting to escape from the VR MMORPG that you are trapped in by going through all 100 floors of the Aincrad castle. Aside from its storyline, the majority of its characters are also based off from the actual anime series, including all the original voice actors. Best yet, you can actually recruit these familiar characters to your team of heroes through a fun gacha-like system before heading off to battle both AI enemies and other human players alike. After all, in this game, your team's survival is the only thing that matters!That said, the most unique part about this game is that the game interestingly combines elements from a standard 2D side-scrolling action game with all the complexities and nuances of a casual role-playing game, which results in a one-of-a-kind gaming experience that fans of SAO and/or RPGs can really get behind. If you love SAO or maybe mobile MMORPGs in general, you'll definitely enjoy playing this game.
Zenonia S: Rifts in Time
Zenonia S: Rifts in Time is an anime-inspired MMORPG title - the first of its kind - within the Zenonia game series. Apparently, Gamevil has given up adding numbers to their single-player Zenonia series and have created something of a spin-off MMO. Regardless of the major shift from single to multiplayer, the game still retains the charm that has rocketed the series to fame in the first place - it's Legend of Zelda-like experience albeit in a more anime format.Being an MMO now, the game provids players with an online hub of sorts - a virtual town - to interact with each other and with various helpful NPCs including quest givers and PvP arena ringmasters. The game also features the usual hack-and-slash combat system, many character classes and pretty graphics.
Although it's nice that the game's now a multiplayer game, we feel like the game has not really made the most of its multiplayer function and had restricted itself in terms of the features that are available. Not to mention, having a great storyline has never been this series' storng suit and this weakness is very evident in this game.
All in all though, if you've always wanted to try an MMO version of Zenonia, this game definitely fit the bill in spite of some of its downsides. After all, it's a free game. So, download it today on your mobile devices and give it a try!
