Atlantica Online vs Vindictus
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.
Vindictus
Vindictus is an exhilarating and bloody action-based MMORPG set in a world filled with creatures tainted by the darkness that has enveloped the land. In this game, you play as 1 of the 9 characters and are later recruited to join a band of professional mercenaries, the Crimson Blades, to rid the world of the monsters that plagued it... for a price.In addition to having an intriguing story to back it up, the gameplay in Vindictus is also incredibly fun mainly due to its fast-paced and action-based combat that's complimented with a robust combo system. After all, timely dodges and attacks are the key to minimizing the damage taken and maximizing your dps output. There is even a crafting system where you can combine materials obtained from slain mobs to create your own armor and weapons, and multiple PvP arena options for you to test your mettle.
In some way, Vindictus is like a darker version of Dragon Nest, but it is equally as addictive and fun to play. Sounds just like a game you'd like? Well then, download the game now!
