Record of Lodoss War Online vs Red Stone 2
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.
Red Stone 2
Red Stone 2 is an anime-themed mobile MMORPG that allows you to set up your party of heroes and venture out into the world with them to hopefully collect all that's left of the Red Stone shards while thwarting the evil Merenande's plan of using these shards to summon a powerful FireBird.Aside from some fantastic visuals and a brilliant composition of soundtracks, the game also has a fun yet engaging, semi-automated gameplay where your characters will automatically engage enemies as they encounter them but you are still required to manually activate your own character's skills whenever they are needed. Of course, if there's no need for these skills, then it's completely fine to simply let auto-combat runs its course.
Character development in Red Stone 2 can go pretty in-depth since the game provides 2 job changes and 3 major skill trees for you to invest your limited skill points in. That's not including the myriad of equipment you can equip your team with; equipment that can be further augmented and enhanced to increase their combat efficiency. It's nigh impossible to find two max level players with the exact same character build unless they intentionally made it that way.
The game has several PvE features along with 2 major PvP events, namely the arena and the massive Guild War. With the exception of the story-driven campaign, most PvE dungeons in this game are mainly there for you to obtain a certain game item, be it an equipment, a new companion, or one of the many upgrade materials, in addition to experience points and game currency.
Red Stone 2 is a really unique anime-themed MMO thanks to its immersive storyline and addictively fun gameplay. If you enjoy playing a good anime MMO on your phone, do give Red Stone 2 a try!
