Atlantica Online vs Invokers Tournament
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.
Invokers Tournament
Invokers Tournament is a multiplayer online battle arena (or MOBA) game developed by StormBASIC Games exclusively for the PlayStation platform. The game was first available in the Playstation 3, and it has now arrived for the PlayStation handheld, PS Vita, and the current-gen console, Playstation 4. The gameplay in this game is pretty much similar to a typical MOBA: two opposing teams are placed in their respective bases at both ends of the map. These bases are connected via two separate paths (as opposed to the usual three), and your goal is to fight your way to through the opposing team’s defenses, be it towers, creeps or enemy players, to ultimately destroy their Core and secure a victory for your team.The most unique part of Invokers Tournament is the magic rings. Each ring your character wears (up to 2 rings max) will grant him/her to a selection of skills and sometimes, even transform your avatar into something very different. This allows you to customize your character to fit your play style and also to help you counter certain hero types simply by equipping the right combination of rings.
So, although Invokers Tournament has some special features, the gameplay still feels like your average MOBA game. However, you should definitely take note that this is among the two (so far) MOBA games that are PS-exclusive, so if you love playing games on your PlayStation and that you enjoy MOBAs, then this is one game you'll want to try.
