Draconius GO vs Zenonia S: Rifts in Time
Draconius GO
Draconius GO is the game to play if you love Pokemon Go but you find that it's getting a bit dull for you. Like Pokemon Go, Draconius Go is an augmented reality game where you set off on an adventure to capture as many of the 125 dragons as you can. Each of these dragons are very well-designed (though some of them may look rather cheesy and un-dragon-like) and all of them can be upgraded. Similarly, there will be "arenas" (think "gyms") that you can attack and capture as well, though the combat system seems to be a bit more interactive and active rather than being simply a tap=fest. Not to mention, you can even get eggs that you can then ask the Mother of Dragons to help you hatch.However, interestingly, Draconius Go offers a lot more features that fans of the handheld Pokemon games would rejoice for, such as random encounters where you'll have to fend off wild dragons, and duels with other players, as well as more RPG-type elements, like artifacts which are basically your set of armor and weapons, as well as a treasure hunt where you can attempt to find all the treasure chests in the area.
Draconius Go may feel like a Pokemon Go knock-off but once you get into it, you'll quickly realize that it plays like a game that Pokemon Go could have been. So, if you've always find Pokemon Go a bit lacking, you might enjoy Draconius Go instead.
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!
