Battle Online: Survival Island vs Zenonia S: Rifts in Time
Battle Online: Survival Island
Battle Online: Survival Island is an early access battle royale game where you have to fight against other players to survive in a gradually shrinking map. Each map in the game can house up to 15 players at a time while providing players with a ton of resources that are stored in wooden crates to pick up and collect. There isn't any crafting or base building though - just some first person shooting. You cannot loot the corpse of a player you've killed either.Granted that Battle Online: Survival Island still has a very long way to go to be remotely comparable to PUBG, this game is still pretty fun in its rudeimentary kind of way. Not to mention, by playing the game and giving the developer some feedback, you can actually help the dev turn this game into a much better mobile battle royale game for you to enjoy.
Zenonia S: Rifts in Time
Zenonia S: Rifts in Time is an anime-inspired MMORPG title - the first of its kind - within the Zenonia game series. Apparently, Gamevil has given up adding numbers to their single-player Zenonia series and have created something of a spin-off MMO. Regardless of the major shift from single to multiplayer, the game still retains the charm that has rocketed the series to fame in the first place - it's Legend of Zelda-like experience albeit in a more anime format.Being an MMO now, the game provids players with an online hub of sorts - a virtual town - to interact with each other and with various helpful NPCs including quest givers and PvP arena ringmasters. The game also features the usual hack-and-slash combat system, many character classes and pretty graphics.
Although it's nice that the game's now a multiplayer game, we feel like the game has not really made the most of its multiplayer function and had restricted itself in terms of the features that are available. Not to mention, having a great storyline has never been this series' storng suit and this weakness is very evident in this game.
All in all though, if you've always wanted to try an MMO version of Zenonia, this game definitely fit the bill in spite of some of its downsides. After all, it's a free game. So, download it today on your mobile devices and give it a try!
