4story vs Era of Arcania
4story
4story is an MMORPG that’s pretty much the epitome of a cookie-cutter MMORPG as in it does absolutely nothing to innovate in the genre but instead it takes all the core concepts of the genre and further refines them to an excessive degree to create a brilliant game that is extremely fun to play and has a great sense of progression as you go through it. The game also has a huge world for you to explore, a variety of quests to keep you grinding away for levels and loot, as well as great combat mechanics that may not be completely action-based, but is not a hack-and-clash either.In many ways, 4Story reminds me a lot of the older version of World of Warcraft, though it’s still not comparable to the latter however. That said, if this sounds just like an MMORPG you'd like to try, be sure to check it out!
Era of Arcania
Era of Arcania is most certainly not your standard casual action-RPG that you can play on your mobile. Unlike many other common RPGs, the gameplay in this game feels a lot like one of those massive standalone MMORPGs on PC. Even the semi-action-based combat system feels a lot more intuitive and visceral despite still having an auto-combat option which players can use from time to time. The game features multiple archetype classes as well, along with a unique, female-only, support/DPS class called the Dancer. There are also plenty of events for you to participate in and activities for you to do. Granted that the game still needs a bit of tweaking prior to its official release, Era of Arcania is one of those rare MMOs that will make your jaw drop because of the unique game experience it can provide.Although the game is simply a rebranded version of Sword and Magic, I’ve been completely blown away by the immersion and the fun this game is able to provide. Once it’s officially released and you’ve got a chance to try Era of Arcania out, I’m sure you will be too!
