Otherland vs Warmerise
Otherland
Otherland is a futuristic MMORPG that will definitely tax the very boundaries of your imagination! The game features some stunning and very diverse digital worlds that you can set off and explore to your heart’s content as well as a supposedly action-based combat system.That said, Otherland is something of an acquired taste-type of game we’d say. It can be quite hard to keep up with the game’s storyline if you have not read a word of the books or universe created by Tad Willaims which is what this game is based on. Although the graphics of the game is most certainly impressive to say the least and that the diverse worlds do keep players interested, the game’s gameplay may feel a bit lackluster due to the generic questing and frequent combat glitches.
If you are the sort of player who loves exploring new worlds or that you’re simply a huge fan of the book, Otherland is definitely a game you mustn’t miss. If not, it’s still worth it to give the game a shot, but to stay, well, that’s another matter and it's entirely up to you.
Warmerise
Warmerise , a.k.a. Warmerise Red vs Blue and Warmerise Online, is a primarily team-based MMOFPS game with a nice science fiction/futuristic-themed that may remind a player of Halo. The game provides players with 2 game modes to play, namely Team Deathmatch and Elimination, both of which have a strong emphasis on teamplay. The combat itself is a bit arcade-like since jumping around actually works as a strategy to avoid getting blown to pieces. Players also have a vast arsenal of conventional and unconventional weapons to use in this game, including mines and rocket launchers, in addition to a ton of cosmetics and suit upgrades. You can even pick up the weapons of fallen enemies or allies in the field.Warmerise isn't exactly very newbie-friendly though, since you are expected to figure out most of the controls you need. Thankfully, most of the common FPS hotkeys, like R for Reload, works in this game. However, some of the aspects might need some getting used to, such as the toggle-based scope and the 3-second invulnerability during spawn, and the fact that there is no such thing as friendly fire in this game.
Being a browser-based MMOFPS, the graphics and the gameplay in Warmerise are quite impressive. However, you should know that there aren't a lot of players for you to play with if you happen to NOT be in the US, and if you do connect to the US servers from outside the US, you can definitely expect some ping/latency issues which will impact your gameplay and overall game experience.
