Aura Kingdom vs Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny
Aura Kingdom
Aura Kingdom is an anime-themed MMORPG that features a well-written storyline, stunning graphics and amusing dialogues that make the game feel vibrant. The game also provides players with an exciting and dynamic combat system to enjoy the game with.Aura Kingdom focuses mainly on the PvE aspect, and thus, you can expect tons of dungeon raids, quests (which are unfortunately a bit grindy) and even world bosses to hunt for. Of course, that is not to say that Aura Kingdom doesn't have any PvP arenas either - it does. The most unique part in this game though is its Pokemon-like Eidolons that you can collect. In some way, this urge to collect will drive you to great lengths to search for every Eidolon you can find.
The gameplay in Aura Kingdom is admittedly not very unique. Even the Eidolon-collecting part, although it is still very enjoyable, has been done multiple times before... some by browser-based games nonetheless! But this game just oozes out charm by the truck load and this is something that might convince you to stay (in the game).
Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny
Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny , also known as Rune Factory: Oceans, is another somewhat old spin-off from the main Rune Factory game franchise. In this game, you play as the character who happen to have the souls of two lifelong friends, Aden and Sonja, trapped in it. Not to mention, Aden and Sonja were somehow teleported to an unfamiliar island filled with unfamiliar faces. What had happened? Well, to solve this mystery, you'll need to accumulate favor and respect from the locals by helping them with their requests and hopefully, they willm be able to point you in the right direction.Similar to the previous Rune Factory games, Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny also has a fun simulation aspect where you can not only farm and fish but also cook, craft items and compete in festivals. Monsters that you befriended in the wild can work and fight for you as well. Since the island is, obviously, surrounded by an ocean, you can tap into the rich resources in the sea too.
Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny has a pretty interesting twist to the usual storyline used in this game franchise, and of course, the gameplay is as brilliant as ever. If you love Rune Factory, you'll enjoy playing this one.
