Pokemon Go vs Zenonia S: Rifts in Time
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.
Zenonia S: Rifts in Time
Zenonia S: Rifts in Time is an anime-inspired MMORPG title - the first of its kind - within the Zenonia game series. Apparently, Gamevil has given up adding numbers to their single-player Zenonia series and have created something of a spin-off MMO. Regardless of the major shift from single to multiplayer, the game still retains the charm that has rocketed the series to fame in the first place - it's Legend of Zelda-like experience albeit in a more anime format.Being an MMO now, the game provids players with an online hub of sorts - a virtual town - to interact with each other and with various helpful NPCs including quest givers and PvP arena ringmasters. The game also features the usual hack-and-slash combat system, many character classes and pretty graphics.
Although it's nice that the game's now a multiplayer game, we feel like the game has not really made the most of its multiplayer function and had restricted itself in terms of the features that are available. Not to mention, having a great storyline has never been this series' storng suit and this weakness is very evident in this game.
All in all though, if you've always wanted to try an MMO version of Zenonia, this game definitely fit the bill in spite of some of its downsides. After all, it's a free game. So, download it today on your mobile devices and give it a try!
