Pokemon Go vs Record of Lodoss War Online
Pokemon Go
Pokemon Go is one of the world's first and most popular augmented reality game where players embark on their own personal pokemon trainer journeys in the real world (respectively) in hopes of being able to "catch 'em all". Utilizing the devices' GPS, the app will track your movement and allow you to, when within close enough proximity, detect wild Pokemon which you can then attempt to catch, or open up pokestops and gyms so you can collect items from. Players are split up into 3 teams, Mystic, Valor and Instinct, and they are often pitted against one another over the control of the Pokemon gyms around their area.In addition to legendaries appearing in the world, the game has also rather recently released exciting raids which will force you to group up to and battle boss Pokemon which has extremely high Combat Power (CP). Niantic, the developers of the game, has even organized massive Pokemon Go events throughout the world, sometimes even allowing players to remotely join in the fun.
Pokemon Go has revolutionized the gaming industry by superimposing digital Pokemon in the real world via the cameras on mobile devices, as well as popularized the use of global positioning to track a player's movement in the real world. Even until today (after the hype has apparently died down), the game is still widely played by millions all over the world. So, if you haven't already, you should definitely try this game out. This is also a no brainer if you happen to be a massive fan of Pokemon and its games.
Record of Lodoss War Online
Record of Lodoss War Online is a somewhat old-school, anime-themed MMORPG that has a unique top-down-like view (much like in Drakensang Online), a straightforward hack-and-slash combat, and a storyline that’s intriguing enough to make you stick around. Set in a world on the verge of being plunged into yet again another war, you play a promising adventurer who has uncovered a plot by the evil sorcerer, Bagnard - he is hellbent on bringing back the evil gods and their armies of doom. Naturally, you can't let his plans come to fruition.In addition to its unique Reaction skills that works in a combo-like manner, this dungeon-crawling game also features a myriad of dungeons to challenge with friends, a merc system where you can recruit NPCs to aid you in your adventures, and also a dual-leveling system where you level up both your character and your character’s ranking in the Adventurer’s Association. There are plenty of other features in this game as well, including the mercenary system where you can recruit up to 2 other NPCs to join you in your adventures; fun stat-boosting titles to earn, free teleports to town, and an account-wide vault where you can use to transfer gear or other items between characters. Players can also set up their own stalls, a.k.a. “Sales Agency”, to sell items they don’t need.
Record of Lodoss War Online may be grindy, like most MMORPGs are, but it's a pretty decent dungeon-crawling game overall. The beautiful and adorable anime graphics, the incredible title theme as well as its simple-to-grasp gameplay made it a fun game to play even in this day and age.
