Age of Conan: Unchained vs Crowfall
Age of Conan: Unchained
Age of Conan: Unchained is an MMORPG that's based on the timeless classic comic and TV series, Conan the Barbarian. Featuring one of the best fantasy-themed lore, the game also has a very unique action-based combat system that, despite its steep learning curve, is comparable to that of TERA... though, we'd say that combat in this game is much more varied. You can weave spells, attempt to capture battlekeeps with massive siege machines and even enjoy some good ol' mounted combat that is surprisingly not at all too clunky. However, you should bear in mind that this MMO has been around for quite some time, so the graphics in this game might be a tad bit old fashioned.What we love the most about Age of Conan is that the game actually rewards players who go off the beaten track and explore the secret corners of the world that questlines will never bring you to. The shift from being a subscription-based MMO to becoming a free-to-play MMO has been very well-received too, mainly because it injects a certain amount of much-needed players into its population and well, it allows newcomers to try the game out at no cost.
All in all, Age of Conan is a solid MMORPG that is very well-suited for players who like to explore and a challenge. Hardcore fans of Conan may want to try this game out as well, even if it's only to experience the different storylines in the game.
Crowfall
Crowfall boasts as being the world's first throne war simulator where it mixes the best elements from the popular "Game of Thrones" TV show with MMOs like EVE Online. The game features an open world PvP, a player-driven economy, action-based combat and destructible environments which you can then use to your advantage when fortifying your own castle or attacking your enemy's castle. Crowfall's campaigns are pretty unique due to its varying campaign rulesets as well. Each different ruleset will give you an entirely different experience of the game. The game difficulty will even gradually increase over time, making teamwork paramount to survival.Crowfall also has a sandbox element to it in the form of its Eternal Kingdom. In this game, you'll be given a piece of land in an instanced zone to build your empire. Much like a Tetris or a jigsaw puzzle game, you can then buy extra parcels of land that comes in different shapes and sizes and add them to your Eternal kingdom to expand it. You could even grant your land to appointed vassals to rule as they please as long as they pay their dues to you, the King or Queen, and interact with your "subjects" turning your Eternal Kingdom into some sort of a social hub for you and your friends or guildmates to hang out.
Let's not forget about Crowfall's ridiculous (in a good way) amount of character class customization and advancement, allowing you to build your character literally whichever way you like.
Sounds like just the game you've been looking for? Well, if you would like to experience a Game of Thrones-like political intrigue coupled with some epic warfare that plays out on a massive scale, Crowfall's the game you'd want to keep a close eye on.
