Drakensang Online vs Terraria
Drakensang Online
Drakensang Online is an extremely well-made browser-based MMORPG of the dungeon-crawling variety set in the ruined world of Dracania. Based on the hugely popular series of Drakensang games, this game features tons of dungeons (of course), 4 different modes of PvP, 4 different character classes, as well as various collectable pets and mounts. The game mechanics are pretty awesome too despite being a browser game. In fact, Drakensang Online is possibly the only dungeon crawler that you can play on your browser that is not 2D or text-based!However, like most games, there are some obvious downsides to Drakensang Online, including the lack of shared inventory between characters, the lack of trading between players and well, the quests can get a bit repetitive as you reach the higher levels. Many features in this game requires premium currency, Andermants, too, but it's good to know that at least F2P players can sink in the necessary time and effort to farm for them. Due to this, the game is not exactly a P2W but rather a "pay to get convenience".
Overall, Drakensang Online a great dungeon crawler to play, particularly if you enjoy games like Path of Exile. It may be the "lesser" version of PoE but well, you can play this game directly on your browser - what's not awesome about that?
Terraria
Terraria is one of the biggest breakout indie game of 2011 and, like Minecraft, is still incredibly popular until today. However, despite the many similarities between Terraria and Minecraft which is mainly because they are both sandbox games, Terraria is a definitely much more fleshed out version of Minecraft without all the 3D voxels but with 2D pixels instead. The great thing about Terraria though is that it has more of everything that Minecraft has - more recipes, more enemies, more pets, more bosses... well, like we said, more everything. The depth in Terraria is simply astounding!Combat also feels action-packed in spite of being 2D and interestingly, the game provides an immersive storyline that you can follow... again, unlike in Minecraft where you literally have to create your own story if you want all of that. The game is cross-platform game and supports multiplayer as well.
In short though, we'd say that Terraria is more suited to adventure-based RPG gameplay rather than Minecraft but unfortunately, not everyone likes its 2D looks. So, if you're a fan of Minecraft and you don't really mind 2D games, you should definitely check out Terraria. You'll be blown away by the overwhelming size of the content!
