Dragomon Hunter vs Tartaros Rebirth
Dragomon Hunter
Dragomon Hunter is a Pokemon-like, anime-inspired MMORPG where you'll set off on an exciting journey of a lifetime to hunt, defeat (through exciting action-based combat) and collect as many dragomons as you can find in the beautiful world of Wyveria. Being an RPG, the game has plenty of quests for you to complete as well as a nicely-designed character progression system where every level up, and skill or equipment upgrades make a significant difference in enhancing your gameplay.Interestingly, you are also accompanied by a Hoppalong who will not only aid you in combat be it as a tank, a heal or a DPS; you can customize and level them up too. There are even thrilling missions to embark on just so you can farm for dropped mounts (you can get a mount from every creature you encounter in Wyveria) or crafting formulas, as well as professions to pick up.
Dragomon Hunter is a game that capitalizes on the fact that players often have this irresistable urge to "collect 'em all". With so many dragomons to collect, you'll find yourself replaying missions just to complete your collection or to get that rare mount that hardly anyone on your server has. This is definitely the sort of game that will appeal to players who enjoy Pokemon or any collection-focused games.
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.
