Brown Dust vs Melting World Online
Brown Dust
Brown Dust is an anime-inspired Korean RPG that has a fun, sprite-based graphical style, an in-depth turn-based combat system which will remind you of Final Fantasy Tactics, and a varied selection of mercenaries that you can recruit and upgrade. In addition to the more than 300 mercenaries to recruit and deploy into your team, there are just so many different formations and attack order you can use. All of this makes up for a strategically challenging game!Of course, being an RPG, you can also expect tons of features that are commonly associated with the genre, including a story-driven campaign, a host of PvE dungeons, a PvP arena, and, if you're part of a guild, guild wars.
Brown Dust incorporates the best features of various prominent games within its genre to come up with such an engaging gameplay. It's really gorgeous to behold as well! If this is something you'd like, do give the game a try!
Melting World Online
Melting World Online is a strategy RPG set in what seems to be an alien world. Featuring a unique old school-look, this game more than makes up for its dated graphics with an in-depth and surprisingly strategic gameplay. Aside from the timed turn-based combat, which is modelled after Fallout games' VATS system and is designed to keep you on your toes, you'll also get to assemble your own team of mechs (along with their mech pilots) to bring into the battlefield.The most intriguing part of the gameplay, however, is how you can customize your mech. Instead of giving you fixed slots to put your weapons and armor in, you get a grided box for each part of your mech, namely the cockpit, left and right arms, the body and left and right legs, where you can attempt to squeeze in as many weapons and armor as you can. After all, the more weapons you have means the more attacking options you'll have, while having more armor means your mech can take a lot more punishment from the enemy before going down.
Melting World Online may not win any prizes when it comes to its nostalgic 90s visuals, but its gameplay is definitely worth a look, especially if you're a huge fan of strategy games.
