Zenonia 4 vs Zenonia S: Rifts in Time
Zenonia 4
Zenonia 4 is an anime, action RPG that will cast you into the role of Regret, a young lad who by some trick of time was approached by his future self and asked to step up and defeat the forces of evil that are amassing their strength. Despite the cliche storyline which was rather shoddily localized into English though, the gameplay is surprisingly enjoyable and is rather similar to the earlier versions of Legend of Zelda. You'll be hacking and slashing your way through throngs of monsters, unleashing powerful skill attacks left and right. The skills you have access to will also vary depending on the class you choose, be it Blader, Ranger, Druid or Slayer.Although Zenonia 4 is among some of the older mobile games of the series, the game is still as entertaining as its later games, like Zenonia 5 or Zenonia S. But a fair bit of warning, if you're playing the game for its story, there are plenty more games out there that can offer you something better.
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!
