Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle vs Record of Lodoss War Online
Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle
Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle is a rather odd game to say the least. Even though it is based on the popular Dragon Ball anime series, the characters that appear in the game as well as the storylines are all messed up due to "dimensional distortion". For fans of the series, the game may appear to be incredibly confusing since your favorite characters will end up battling their future or past selves.That said, the game is a team-based game where you have to assemble a team of heroes and/or villains from the Dragon Ball universe and pit them against the game's many enemies. You can even test the strength of your team in various exciting tournaments which will see you battling other players from around the world.
The most interesting part though is the game's puzzle like combat system where you need to match same-colored Ki spheres to deal devastating damage. You can also switch fighters, guard against attacks and start combo moves.
Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle is a mind-boggling game but its innovation can be quite refreshing especially for players who are sick and tired of the generic browser MMO format. However, the game can be a bit of a turn-off for fans of the series mainly because the game's confusing on so many levels.
Record of Lodoss War Online
Record of Lodoss War Online is a somewhat old-school, anime-themed MMORPG that has a unique top-down-like view (much like in Drakensang Online), a straightforward hack-and-slash combat, and a storyline that’s intriguing enough to make you stick around. Set in a world on the verge of being plunged into yet again another war, you play a promising adventurer who has uncovered a plot by the evil sorcerer, Bagnard - he is hellbent on bringing back the evil gods and their armies of doom. Naturally, you can't let his plans come to fruition.In addition to its unique Reaction skills that works in a combo-like manner, this dungeon-crawling game also features a myriad of dungeons to challenge with friends, a merc system where you can recruit NPCs to aid you in your adventures, and also a dual-leveling system where you level up both your character and your character’s ranking in the Adventurer’s Association. There are plenty of other features in this game as well, including the mercenary system where you can recruit up to 2 other NPCs to join you in your adventures; fun stat-boosting titles to earn, free teleports to town, and an account-wide vault where you can use to transfer gear or other items between characters. Players can also set up their own stalls, a.k.a. “Sales Agency”, to sell items they don’t need.
Record of Lodoss War Online may be grindy, like most MMORPGs are, but it's a pretty decent dungeon-crawling game overall. The beautiful and adorable anime graphics, the incredible title theme as well as its simple-to-grasp gameplay made it a fun game to play even in this day and age.
