Crystal Saga II vs Ragnarok Online
Crystal Saga II
Crystal Saga II is the highly anticipated sequel to the popular browser-based MMORPG, Crystal Saga, that's released just last year. The gameplay itself rivals that of its predecessor and even of other current web-based MMOs, but its graphics has seen a huge revamp and has improved by leaps and bounds. This is evident during your adventures as you will be traversing multiple regions, as well as venturing into various dungeons and battlegrounds. In terms of the class choices, there are six classes to choose from in this game, namely: Knight, Ranger, Rogue, Beastmaster, Mage, and Priest. Each class has varying skills, and it’s a must to pick one according to your play style. You can also recruit a pet to fight for you, marry another character, join a guild and many more.With such an immersive gameplay, Crystal Saga II is so much better than the first game, and it's not surprising to see that this game is currently getting traction. So, if you love browser MMOs, this is one game you wouldn't want to miss!
Ragnarok Online
Ragnarok Online is a timeless classic and is among one of the very first anime-themed MMORPG that's based on a popular Korean comic series of the same name (which is still pretty popular now). The game is different from any other MMOs at that time mainly due to its unique graphical approach - using 2D sprites set in a 3D game environment. The game also infuses the "kawaii" and "chibi" concepts into its characters, giving rise to the famously cute Porings in the game.Gameplay-wise, Ragnarok Online has many features that may be relatively unheard of such as giving players the ability to set up their own vendors, in addition to having an auction house, to sell off items that have farmed or crafted. The job-based character progression system in this game is also incredibly in-depth, allowing for a wider variety of character builds. There are even collectible cards that players can not only collect from every single mob type in the game, but also equip these cards to enhance their equipment and stats.
It's not at all surprising to see that even 15 years after its initial release and having to put up with competition from its fully 3D sequel, Ragnarok Online 2, this game is still going pretty strong. If you consider yourself a hardcore MMO gamer, Ragnarok Online is a game you should try the first chance you get!
