Crystal Saga II vs Rend
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!
Rend
Rend is an up-and-coming, Nordic-themed, team-based survival game that is set in a wild and ruthless, fantasy world filled with fantastic creatures, where only the strongest are able to ascend to the realms of the gods. In this game, players are separated into their respective factions at the beginning. They are then given the freedom to explore the many biomes and harvest resources from the environment whether solo or co-operatively. The resources obtained can then be used to craft better weapons and tools or can be reinvested into the faction stronghold to fortify it from potential attacks from players from a rival faction and to advance your base just so you can unlock new technologies. Players have their own skill systems and talent trees as well, and these are the main ways for a player to customize and tweak their characters to their liking.The ultimate goal of the game, however, is to reap as many warrior spirits as you can by battling and defeating rival players and deposit the souls at the Divinity Stone in the middle of your faction base, that is if you're not slain while carrying such precious loot. Somewhat similar to grand strategy games, Rend is more of a continual game. It has game cycles of 2 to 3 months, in which the winning faction of each cycle will get a nice pile of rewards at the end of a cycle.
Rend has a really unique take on the survival genre and this might just give the game the fuel it needs to rise to the top. The game is currently in Alpha and its release date is still TBD.
