Mob Wars: La Cosa Nostra vs Tartaros Rebirth
Mob Wars: La Cosa Nostra
Mob Wars: La Cosa Nostra is definitely the perfect game to play if you are looking for an alternative to your favorite game, Mafia Wars or any other games like it, including Mafia Inc. It is similar in gameplay to Mafia Wars where you'll set off to build your criminal empire from the ground up by doing jobs, earning weapons, armor and vehicles, and recruiting a crew. However, this game has a much more polished interface maybe because this game came out later.It is also slightly more social due to its Elite Mobster feature where you can ask friends to help out just so you can gain some extra stat boosts. The game provides PvP, a guild-like feature called Syndicate, a pretty deep character customization, and plenty of cities for you to extend your criminal reach to. New content are added weekly as well.
Despite being somewhat text-based and old-timey, Mob Wars: La Cosa Nostra is still played by many all over the world and has entertained many more through the years. It's the perfect casual RPG you can play in small bursts throughout the day.
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.
