Dragon Ring vs Shards of Magic
Dragon Ring
Dragon Ring is a browser-based, 3D MMORPG that is set in the brilliant yet strife-filled world of Nidia. With invaders on all sides, be it the massive spike of orc activity or the recent brazenness of pirates, the realm needs a hero more so than ever, especially one who can wield the power of a collection of powerful Rings. Featuring tons of quests, dungeons, arenas and fun events along with anh in-depth character development and customization, this is the sort of game that fans of JRPG-like games would enjoy.Dragon Ring may have the best intentions of creating possibly among the first fully 3D MMORPG that you can play directly on your web browser, but unfortunately, poor implementation and optimization of the graphics and even its sound might be the downfall of this game. The gameplay itself isn’t exactly very unique either, which makes me feel like this game is more of a “proof of concept”-type of game rather than an actual game that human players would actually like to play.
Although I personally wouldn’t recommend sloughing through the game at its current conditions, you might still want to check this game out. The 3D part does really bring out many of the elements in the game and if you’re lucky, your game might not have lagged as much, making it a much more bearable gaming experience.
Shards of Magic
Shards of Magic is a free-to-play turn-based RPG that is published and developed by Reality Squared Game Co and is currently available for both Android and iOS devices. The game is the straightforward sort - you'll be managing and assembling a team of heroes to fight various enemies sent your way by the villain, Dusan, as you try to collect all the shards of a magical crystal (hence, the name) that were scattered across the realm to stop Dusan from getting his hands on that crystal and using it to destroy the world. There are tons of heroes for you to collect and upgrade, as well as plenty of events, both PvE and PvP ones, for you to enjoy.Aside from its fun gameplay, Shards of Magic also provides some stunning graphics and sound - though the voice acting may leave it slightly less desirable - that will accompany you along your perilous journey. This game is as solid a mobile MMORPG as it goes and if you love casual MMOs, this is a game you might want to play.
