Dungeon Fighter Online vs Tartaros Rebirth
Dungeon Fighter Online
Dungeon Fighter Online , developed by Neople, is a side-scrolling hack-and-slash-styled action RPG that doesn't only guarantee an intense retro-like gameplay, but also an epic storyline to boot. The game features 14 different classses, each of whom has their own stories to tell and can be further customized using a wide variety of dyes available. Classes are all well-balanced too, and even if they aren't, you can definitely expect a patch to be put in really quickly to make things fair for every player in the game.Inspired by games like Golden Axe, Double Dragon and Street Fighter, Dungeon Fighter Online provides you with that thrillingly-satisfying action-packed gameplay by adding in brilliant hit effects and incredible combos as you hack, slash, shoot, cast or punch your way through the game. Everything just feels fo fast-paced and fluid! There are also tons of fun and constant events to keep things fresh and exciting for both old and new players alike.
However, in order to prevent players from playing only 1 character exclusively, the game implements a Fatigue system which will boot you out to another character once you've spent around 2 hours plus on the previous one. There's a crafting system in this game as well, but this part of the game is, surprisingly, very easily to overlook since it's somehow not among the main aspects of the game.
That said, Dungeon Fighter Online is a pretty impressive MMO action RPG that is well-maintained and updated despite being run by a pretty small games company. The gameplay is as astounding for a side-scrolling hack-and-slash game as it can get and the anime graphics is as amazing as ever. This is definitely the sort of game fans of Elsword Online or other similar games would enjoy!
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.
