Atlantica Online vs Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions
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.
Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions
Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions is a turn-based strategy/RPG spin-off from the main Final Fantasy franchise. The original Final Fantasy Tacitcs was very well-received back when it was first released. Due to this, the Square Enix has had the game revamped and we get a sequel of sorts as a result. The original game has not only been ported to the mobile platform, it also features all of the new improvements you'd expect, including better cinematics, new characters, more than 20 job classes and extra missions. You can play the game alone or with a friend via its co-op mode as well.Final Fantasy Tactics was one of the best spin-offs for the Final Fantasy franchise and Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions did a good enough job to not disappoint. It might be buggy from time to time, but it's still the favorite game you knew.
