Atlantica Online vs Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers
Atlantica Online
Atlantica Online is a pretty old MMORPG that has been around since 2008. As opposed to the usual action-based or even the hack-and-slash gameplay that most MMORPGs offer, this game is perhaps the first of its kind (and by "kind" we mean Free-to-play MMOs) to merge strategy/tactics with RPG, allowing players to fight their enemies using a team of mercs rather than just a single main hero. In fact, this gameplay formula has actually been adopted and used in many browser-based MMOs today.Although ultimately the main villian in the game is Riederani and his army, the storyline in this game is also slightly different based on which faction you choose to opt for, either the Scion or the Atlantian. There are plenty of character classes too, each playing their own roles within the team. Despite its age, Atlantica Online still sports a robust in-game economy and is a strong proponent of fairplay when it comes to PvP.
However, the best part about this game is its link to events happening in real life. The game itself is based on the real map of the world we live in and as such, major events that recently happened or had happened ages ago in our world will be manisfested, one way or another, in the game. How awesome is that?
Atlantica Online might not remotely resemble the graphical quality of today's MMORPGs, but the game itself is unique and fun enough to stick around until today. This speaks volume about the value that this game brings to the lives of many gamers worldwide, doesn't it? If you enjoy being intrigued by games and you don't really mind poorer visuals, then this is a game you should try out.
Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers
Dynasty Warriors: Godseekers takes a different path from the rest of the much loved series. Instead of hack and slash here you have a turn based strategy game that uses the characters you know in a unique way. You are once more in the 3 Kingdoms of Ancient China and this time you find a strange Mystic called Lixia who needs your help to find and control 5 elemental orbs, all of which are scattered around the world. Thus begins your adventure as you move around trying to find them and reclaim them so that the world can once more be at peace.You begin by forming a party of up to 5 characters, with stats from a preset style and skills that fit the character and what you know from other games about them. These stats determine how you fight in the battles and you have skills that level up, and of course super abilities too. All in all a different take on the game but a lot of fun and the tactical experience is well worth playing.
