Albion Online vs Shards of Magic
Albion Online
Albion Online is an absolutely magnificent sandbox style MMORPG that recently went into its summer alpha stages and despite not being fully completed and released yet, it’s an incredible game that puts complete control in the players’ hands and delivers a full-fledged experience that games are rarely able to provide.For instance, the game doesn’t restrict you by imposing a class on you right from the get-go. Instead, you get to develop your character and mold him as you wish. This freedom in character customization makes the game’s PvP quite interesting because you’ll never know which skill sets your opponent will have. Its combat system is also pretty impressive and feels to be a lot more skill-based rather than the common hack-and-slash.
Being a sandbox game, you can build anything you want – most likely a shelter though – using the resource you’ve painstakingly harvested from the game environment. You can even craft items and furniture to be placed within your home, and of course, add some defenses so nobody would be crazy enough to try breaking in your place.
Albion Online is, without a doubt, an amazing MMORPG that fans of games like Minecraft would enjoy. It may not be voxel-based, but many of the game aspects does bring the latter game to mind... a lot.
Shards of Magic
Shards of Magic is a free-to-play turn-based RPG that is published and developed by Reality Squared Game Co and is currently available for both Android and iOS devices. The game is the straightforward sort - you'll be managing and assembling a team of heroes to fight various enemies sent your way by the villain, Dusan, as you try to collect all the shards of a magical crystal (hence, the name) that were scattered across the realm to stop Dusan from getting his hands on that crystal and using it to destroy the world. There are tons of heroes for you to collect and upgrade, as well as plenty of events, both PvE and PvP ones, for you to enjoy.Aside from its fun gameplay, Shards of Magic also provides some stunning graphics and sound - though the voice acting may leave it slightly less desirable - that will accompany you along your perilous journey. This game is as solid a mobile MMORPG as it goes and if you love casual MMOs, this is a game you might want to play.
