APB Reloaded vs Atlantica Online
APB Reloaded
APB Reloaded is an online MMO third person shooter(TPS) game where players can choose to play as police enforcers or criminals (as opposed to terrorists and counter-terrorists). The game has a punky style as well as a gameplay that may bring to mind other gangster-themed RPGs like Grand Theft Auto after being fused with conventional shooter games like Counter Strike or Call of Duty.In this game, you get to roam freely around a large city and interact with NPCs to take on missions, some of which are PvP battles with the opposing faction. Like GTA games, APB Reloaded also allows you to customize your character in a rather in-depth manner where you'll get to pick different outfits to wear.
In short, players who love to play a third-person MMO shooter with a Grand Theft Auto vibe should definitely check this game out!
Atlantica Online
Atlantica Online is a pretty old MMORPG that has been around since 2008. As opposed to the usual action-based or even the hack-and-slash gameplay that most MMORPGs offer, this game is perhaps the first of its kind (and by "kind" we mean Free-to-play MMOs) to merge strategy/tactics with RPG, allowing players to fight their enemies using a team of mercs rather than just a single main hero. In fact, this gameplay formula has actually been adopted and used in many browser-based MMOs today.Although ultimately the main villian in the game is Riederani and his army, the storyline in this game is also slightly different based on which faction you choose to opt for, either the Scion or the Atlantian. There are plenty of character classes too, each playing their own roles within the team. Despite its age, Atlantica Online still sports a robust in-game economy and is a strong proponent of fairplay when it comes to PvP.
However, the best part about this game is its link to events happening in real life. The game itself is based on the real map of the world we live in and as such, major events that recently happened or had happened ages ago in our world will be manisfested, one way or another, in the game. How awesome is that?
Atlantica Online might not remotely resemble the graphical quality of today's MMORPGs, but the game itself is unique and fun enough to stick around until today. This speaks volume about the value that this game brings to the lives of many gamers worldwide, doesn't it? If you enjoy being intrigued by games and you don't really mind poorer visuals, then this is a game you should try out.
