ASTA Online vs Rune Factory 2
ASTA Online
ASTA Online is a martial arts-based MMORPG where you play the protagonist who has been charged to save the mythical world of Samsara from the wrath of an evil god. Without a doubt, ASTA Online is an incredibly beautiful game, but that's not what makes it unique. The game has an amazingly detailed character customization aspect (and we don't only mean your character's looks) and a bloody and somewhat heated conflict between 2 warring factions that you'll have to choose 1 to side with.There are plenty of exciting activities in the game as well, in addition to the usual PvE and PvP events - Players can set bounties or go hunt for bounties themselves; embark on thrilling treasure hunts, go fishing with friends, or simply spend a large amount of time just sitting at the auction house trading your wares. Players even get a virtual home to decorate!
ASTA Online is the next generation of martial arts-based MMOs, much like Revelation Online is, to replace the aging games, Age of Wushu and Swordsman Online. If you often find yourself drawn to martial art games, then ASTA Online is definitely a game you'd like!
Rune Factory 2
Rune Factory 2 is more like a combination of a farm simulation/RPG and The Sims mainly because you can actually have children in the game and you can then switch character and play as your child instead. This sort of multigenerational storyline is unheard of in the gaming world! The game also provides players with a whole new story set in Alvarna that has been hit by multiple earthquakes with unknown origins in recent days. Not to mention, the tension between the evil Sechs Empire and the Kingdom of Norad have gradually been escalating and the peace that was so difficult to obtain may be shattered in a matter of days.With so many problems to content with, a farm to grow and adventures to embark on, Rune Factory is a game that offers plenty of stuff for you to do as well as multiple paths and endings which grant the game impressive replayability.
