Age of Conan: Unchained vs The Lord of the Rings: Living Card Game
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.
The Lord of the Rings: Living Card Game
The Lord of the Rings: Living Card Game is a pretty sophisticated collectible card game that's based on the original physical card game, as well as the popular Lord of the Rings franchise. In this game, you'll get to embark on an exhilarating adventure with Bilbo, Gloin and their friends on a journey across the Misty Mountains.Featuring a gameplay that's intricate, unique and challenging, you'll need to battle various creatures of Mistwood, along with any of Sauron's many minions that you encounter along the way. You will get to collect tons of cards and add them to your deck via its deck-building feature. The game is currently a single-player campaign experience, but it's going to get a co-op option soon. More campaigns will be added as well.
The Lord of the Rings: Living Card Game seems like a truly challenging card game that fans of the genre can enjoy. The epic storyline, the breathtaking graphics (card art, specifically) and even the superb voice acting are amazing enough to keep you engaged from start to finish! Although the game isn't exactly a digitized version of the physical version, the changes made do make the game more suitable for its new digital platform and players.
