Chronicles of Nerdia vs Tartaros Rebirth
Chronicles of Nerdia
Chronicles of Nerdia is an enjoyable superhero-themed game that pokes fun at the whole superhero concept, and is guaranteed to leave you in fits of laughter at the exaggerated “nerdiness” that’s generously applied in every aspect of the game.In this game, you play as a rather overimaginative inhabitant of a suburbia neighborhood where crime and nasty people lurks at its every corner and have decided to take it upon yourself to fight injustice in your own nerdy way. This means taking on disgruntled housewives, the neighborhood bully and more in exciting text-based duels. You can even hone your fighting skills through friendly matches with your fellow superheroes and by leveling up.
Players who have enjoyed playing games like Hero Zero will definitely love this game. In fact, I daresay Chronicles of Nerdia seems a lot more entertaining and amusing than the latter. Do give it a try!
Tartaros Rebirth
Tartaros Rebirth is the revived version of the anime-themed MMORPG that was popular back in the 2000s, Tartaros Online. Featuring everything you know and love from back in the day, this game has something new to offer as well, such as brand-new storylines. Like the original, you'll get to play as one of nine unique characters, each with their own personalities and skillsets. You can switch between them while you're in town, but not in dungeons or instances. Questing is the main way to level up in this game and the grind is real. However, there are tons of places for you to explore and you can even use higher level characters to complete quests for your lower level characters to turn in.The combat system is rather clunky though, so is its controls with keys that you'll probably have to rebind. Battles are played out in a semi-action-based manner, but since you can't really dodge, block or dash away from danger, all the "non-action" can be a bit underwhelming. Not to mention, the graphics isn't updated somehow and although it may have been acceptable back then, it is definitely not something that will appeal to players in this day and age.
So, in short, Tartaros Rebirth is a great anime-themed game to play, despite sharing many similarities with Dragon Nest, for nostalgic purposes but if you're simply looking for a new anime game to play, you might have a better time playing Lineage II: Revolution.
