Tartaros Rebirth vs The Lord of the Rings: Living Card Game
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.
The Lord of the Rings: Living Card Game
The Lord of the Rings: Living Card Game is a pretty sophisticated collectible card game that's based on the original physical card game, as well as the popular Lord of the Rings franchise. In this game, you'll get to embark on an exhilarating adventure with Bilbo, Gloin and their friends on a journey across the Misty Mountains.Featuring a gameplay that's intricate, unique and challenging, you'll need to battle various creatures of Mistwood, along with any of Sauron's many minions that you encounter along the way. You will get to collect tons of cards and add them to your deck via its deck-building feature. The game is currently a single-player campaign experience, but it's going to get a co-op option soon. More campaigns will be added as well.
The Lord of the Rings: Living Card Game seems like a truly challenging card game that fans of the genre can enjoy. The epic storyline, the breathtaking graphics (card art, specifically) and even the superb voice acting are amazing enough to keep you engaged from start to finish! Although the game isn't exactly a digitized version of the physical version, the changes made do make the game more suitable for its new digital platform and players.
