Age of Conan: Unchained vs Chronicles of Nerdia
Age of Conan: Unchained
Age of Conan: Unchained is an MMORPG that's based on the timeless classic comic and TV series, Conan the Barbarian. Featuring one of the best fantasy-themed lore, the game also has a very unique action-based combat system that, despite its steep learning curve, is comparable to that of TERA... though, we'd say that combat in this game is much more varied. You can weave spells, attempt to capture battlekeeps with massive siege machines and even enjoy some good ol' mounted combat that is surprisingly not at all too clunky. However, you should bear in mind that this MMO has been around for quite some time, so the graphics in this game might be a tad bit old fashioned.What we love the most about Age of Conan is that the game actually rewards players who go off the beaten track and explore the secret corners of the world that questlines will never bring you to. The shift from being a subscription-based MMO to becoming a free-to-play MMO has been very well-received too, mainly because it injects a certain amount of much-needed players into its population and well, it allows newcomers to try the game out at no cost.
All in all, Age of Conan is a solid MMORPG that is very well-suited for players who like to explore and a challenge. Hardcore fans of Conan may want to try this game out as well, even if it's only to experience the different storylines in the game.
Chronicles of Nerdia
Chronicles of Nerdia is an enjoyable superhero-themed game that pokes fun at the whole superhero concept, and is guaranteed to leave you in fits of laughter at the exaggerated “nerdiness” that’s generously applied in every aspect of the game.In this game, you play as a rather overimaginative inhabitant of a suburbia neighborhood where crime and nasty people lurks at its every corner and have decided to take it upon yourself to fight injustice in your own nerdy way. This means taking on disgruntled housewives, the neighborhood bully and more in exciting text-based duels. You can even hone your fighting skills through friendly matches with your fellow superheroes and by leveling up.
Players who have enjoyed playing games like Hero Zero will definitely love this game. In fact, I daresay Chronicles of Nerdia seems a lot more entertaining and amusing than the latter. Do give it a try!
