My Time at Portia vs Ragnarok M: Eternal Love
My Time at Portia
My Time at Portia is a charming fantasy-themed adventure RPG that is set on a gorgeous, revitalized world after a post-apocalyptic event wiped out the previous technologically-advanced civilization. In this game, you play as an up-and-coming Builder, a respected role in society, whose sole purpose is to help solve the town's problems by engineering a solution.With a gameplay which may fondly remind you of games like Harvest Moon, My Time at Portia may be grindy in an RPG sort of way (think repeated dungeon runs or resource-harvesting), but the game has a nice relaxing pace, where its quests (both main and side quests) are slowly revealed as you progress. Being a Builder, you can also complete a commission request daily to collect some cash. The game also features an elaborate gifting/relationship-building system, fun ruin-diving areas, tons of interesting characters to meet, and challenging dungeons. You can even romance and eventually marry an NPC (not all though) you like!
The best part of the game is definitely its in-depth crafting system. There are tons of machines you can build to help you generate a wide variety of materials to build other stuff. You can also unlock new machine technologies via the Research Center.
My Time at Portia feels a lot like an adorable MMORPG minus the MMO part. It has the grind, the dungeon runs... but of course, this game places a lot more emphasis on its resource-collecting, as well as crafting and building aspects. Sounds like a game you'd like to play? Well, despite still being in early access, the first chapter of the game is already ready and bugs-free, so if you do buy the game, know that you can at least get a good 40 hours or so out of it.
Ragnarok M: Eternal Love
Ragnarok M: Eternal Love is a mobile RPG based on the popular Asian MMO, Ragnarok Online. Featuring all the characters you know and love from the original, this game takes the MMO-heavy game and made it more mobile-friendly, including adding in some automation for questing and combat, allowing players to once again venture forth into the wondrous world of Rune Midgard even while they are on-the-go.The game retains the classic art style, which includes designs for the various major cities in the fantasy world, like Prontera, Payon, and Geffen. You'll get to play as one of five main classes and there are lots of PvP and PvE as well. Of course, the game has a ton of new stuff too, such as characters, mounts, pets, and gear. There's even a brand new open-world adventure, a new weather system, MVP monsters and more!
Ragnarok M: Eternal Love may not be exactly the same as its predecessor, but the game is undeniably fun and immersive. Even if it's too "casual MMO" for you, the game will definitely be able to bring you down memory lane as you play.
