Dwarf Fortress vs Ragnarok M: Eternal Love
Dwarf Fortress
Dwarf Fortress is one of the most unique and massive fantasy game ever made using only ASCII characters and colors. The game is completely open world in the sense that you are given the freedom to play as an adventurer and set off alone or with other adventurers on an exciting journey above or below ground (or both) to seek glory, fame and riches, or to settle down and help develop your very own dwarven outpost where you can then build a fortress, establish a barony, and in general, order your dwarven subjects around. Aside from the obviously different "art style" used, the freedom of choice, and the amazing amount of details in its gameplay, the game is also unique in its world building. The virtual world created is not only randomly generated with distinct civilizations with detailed histories, hundred of points of interests like towns and caves, as well as a flourishing nature, which includes both flora and fauna.With so many amazing features packaged into a simple-looking game, it is no wonder why Dwarf Fortress is a game that has inspired a wide variety of other modern games, both indie and big triple-A ones, until today. Due to its size, you might feel daunted to dive into a game like this, but once you've learned the basics, you will find yourself fully immersed in this completely open world of symbols and colors.
Ragnarok M: Eternal Love
Ragnarok M: Eternal Love is a mobile RPG based on the popular Asian MMO, Ragnarok Online. Featuring all the characters you know and love from the original, this game takes the MMO-heavy game and made it more mobile-friendly, including adding in some automation for questing and combat, allowing players to once again venture forth into the wondrous world of Rune Midgard even while they are on-the-go.The game retains the classic art style, which includes designs for the various major cities in the fantasy world, like Prontera, Payon, and Geffen. You'll get to play as one of five main classes and there are lots of PvP and PvE as well. Of course, the game has a ton of new stuff too, such as characters, mounts, pets, and gear. There's even a brand new open-world adventure, a new weather system, MVP monsters and more!
Ragnarok M: Eternal Love may not be exactly the same as its predecessor, but the game is undeniably fun and immersive. Even if it's too "casual MMO" for you, the game will definitely be able to bring you down memory lane as you play.
