Digimon Masters Online vs Tartaros Rebirth
Digimon Masters Online
Digimon Masters Online is an MMORPG that's inspired from the hugely popular (well, at least back in the 90s) Pokemon-like, digital monster-collecting franchise, Digimon. Here, you get to play as a up-and-coming Digimon trainer (if you're starting to see similarities between Pokemon and this game, you're not wrong!) where you will set off on an adventure of your own across a beautiful virtual world teeming with a wide variety of digital monsters for you to capture and collect. These monsters can also grow alongside their trainers and eventually evolve into better, and usually much cooler-looking, versions of themselves. All of these exciting features are unfortunately wrapped around a pretty standard MMORPG gameplay though, which does make the game seem like a ton of wasted potential.That being said, Digimon Masters Online is an MMORPG that players will really love especially if they like games with a "pet" (the word is used subjectively)-collection aspect. It's no Pokemon Go, admittedly, but it's really close to experiencing what it is to be a Digimon trainer.
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.
