Ragnarok M: Eternal Love vs The Falconeer
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.
The Falconeer
The Falconeer is a third-person adventure game focusing on aerial combat on the back of a warbird. Best played with a controller, the game features a massive, steampunk-themed open ocean-covered world to explore, thrilling dogfights to dive into, and quests to complete.The Falconeer features a massive open world that the player can explore to his/her heart’s content! There are many different islets featuring various points-of-interest like fortified locations, seachantress, and weaponshop that players can land on, but the most important one is probably the settlements. Here, players can take quests; buy stuff like weapons, serums to enhance your warbird, permits, etc from vendors; complete bounties, and even buy a new warbird once the pre-requisites (such as completing a time trial race within just 30 seconds) are fulfilled.
Now, in terms of combat, I’m a bit on the fence about The Falconeer. Personally, I find the controls in The Falconeer to feel rather awkward. Aiming is also very hard in this game, not because you have to aim ahead like what you’ll typically do in a tank-based game like World of Tanks but rather, aim at a fast-moving target. The crosshair will jump all over the place (if not disappear outright) during a dogfight. At one point, the crosshair disappeared entirely, turning my warbird into a sitting duck. Flying isn’t as stable as I’d like as well. Maybe this is done in the name of realism, but I’ve noticed that sometimes my warbird will dip and fly lower for no reason.
The Falconeer has some incredible, unique world-building complete with beautiful graphics and atmosphere. The only unfortunate thing about the game is probably the controls. It’s very hard to properly navigate your warbird, let alone engage in intense aerial combat when it feels like I’m trying to aim at fast-moving targets while being completely drunk. So, I’d say the game might be suitable for a more hardcore, high-skilled player base but not the average gamer.
