Dragon Nest vs Grand Chase Reborn
Dragon Nest
Dragon Nest is an anime-themed MMORPG that features adorable "chibi" characters who pack a punch when it comes to combat. Unlike other Korean-made titles, Dragon Nest is among the first of its kind to turn its questing areas into instanced zones that can be entered solo or in a group, while keeping cities and quest hubs multiplayer. Of course, that's not including the game's amazing action-based combat that is integral to its gameplay. Featuring flashy and insanely-cool animations and sound effects, Dragon Nest made itself camera-ready for streamers, YouTubers and normal players alike.Character progression in this game is quite different as well. After choosing 1 out of 7 classes, players will be able to later specialize into 1 of 2 sub-classes. Each class has their own unique set of abilities and skills too, allowing for players to obtain a fresh perspective on the gameplay simply by playing another class. Of course, Dragon Nest also has among the most beautiful and memorable soundtracks available.
Surprisingly though, there isn't a lot of MMORPGs that follow in the footsteps that this amazing game has set, but in some way, this is probably a good thing - Dragon Nest's unique approach to being an MMO is, until this very day, a main reason why this game stands out.
Grand Chase Reborn
Grand Chase Reborn is a private Grand Chase server which was born to fulfill the need had arisen after the shut down of the official Grand Chase servers. This version of the game is pretty much similar to the original one. Grand Chase Reborn is an anime-inspired, 2.5D side-scrolling action MMO/platformer that may bring to mind other games like MapleStory. Aside from the adorable chibi characters, the game also have some colorful and appealing graphics.To play, you'll first get to select a character and from there you'll then get to choose a class out of the 8 classes available, each of them have their own set of skills and play styles. The character you choose will limit the classes you get, so you might want to try different character-class combos before heading into the game. Gameplay-wise, the game does have a pretty steep learning curve since you'll need to memorize the many ways you can combine various skills to get powerful combos. It also has a nice cooperative campaign for you to go through, if you dislike the idea of encountering a premium player during PvP.
If you really miss playing Grand Chase, you will definitely enjoy Grand Chase Reborn. If not, you'll feel like the advantages that premium players get far outweigh the insane amount of effort you'll put into the game to just be on equal footing as they are. It's a game that cures nostalgia but not exactly a game to play if you don't plan on being a premium player.
