Red Stone 2 vs Tartaros Rebirth
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!
Tartaros Rebirth
Tartaros Rebirth is the revived version of the anime-themed MMORPG that was popular back in the 2000s, Tartaros Online. Featuring everything you know and love from back in the day, this game has something new to offer as well, such as brand-new storylines. Like the original, you'll get to play as one of nine unique characters, each with their own personalities and skillsets. You can switch between them while you're in town, but not in dungeons or instances. Questing is the main way to level up in this game and the grind is real. However, there are tons of places for you to explore and you can even use higher level characters to complete quests for your lower level characters to turn in.The combat system is rather clunky though, so is its controls with keys that you'll probably have to rebind. Battles are played out in a semi-action-based manner, but since you can't really dodge, block or dash away from danger, all the "non-action" can be a bit underwhelming. Not to mention, the graphics isn't updated somehow and although it may have been acceptable back then, it is definitely not something that will appeal to players in this day and age.
So, in short, Tartaros Rebirth is a great anime-themed game to play, despite sharing many similarities with Dragon Nest, for nostalgic purposes but if you're simply looking for a new anime game to play, you might have a better time playing Lineage II: Revolution.
