Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle vs Tartaros Rebirth
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.
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.
