Atlantica Online vs Sword Saga
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.
Sword Saga
Sword Saga is a pretty different, browser-based MMORPG from R2 Games. This game puts you in the shoes of a mercenary leader who is embroiled in a great war over the very valuable and powerful Starmoon Shards which you are charged to collect so as to put a stop to the impending demon invasion. Although Sword Saga feels like every other web-based MMORPGs that you might have played before, this game has a lot more strategic depth to than you might expect that is only revealed later on in the game.Sword Saga is also a game that's really easy to get into, and it has plenty of events and things to do to keep you engaged throughout the first few hours of the game. It may not be an innovative game but it manages to do all of the things you want/ would expect from a browser MMO game very well.
