Tartaros Rebirth vs Yandere Simulator
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.
Yandere Simulator
Yandere Simulator is a very unique stealth-based simulation game that involves a Yandere girl or boy whom you'll be playing as and a senpai that you are creepily stalking. Despite its apparently romantic theme, the game gets dark really quickly when you realize that you will need to get rid of competitors who are gunning for your senpai by any means necessary... and yes, that sometimes means you might have to kill or at least socially destroy your rival. However, there are many factors in play, for example, you can't do anything remotely evil while your senpai is near enough to notice, or that your reputation will decrease whenever you are spotted doing anything incriminating by anybody at the high school you attend. You'll also gain access to a special skill, Yandere Vision, which allows you to have a bit of an unfair advantage since you'll get to see through walls and important figures and objects will be automatically highlighted.Due to the nature of the game, it is safe to say that this is not a game for children or maybe even impressionable teens. However, the concept that the game is based on is quite interesting to say the least and although the game is still in its alpha, the game seemed to have garnered a rather large amount of interest from the gaming community. The game's sandbox build is currently free-to-play but the full game is expected to be a buy-to-play.
