Elsword Online vs Fairy Tail: Hero's Journey
Elsword Online
Elsword Online is an anime-themed, 2D side-scrolling MMORPG where players can hack and slash their way through throngs of enemies while earning combo effects to deal maximum damage. There are up to 5 specialized characters for you to choose from and you can upgrade their fighting styles by taking on new job classes as you progress in the game. The game also boasts of having huge immersive maps that will surely delight any explorers as well as challenging and fun PvE and PvP events for both solo and group settings. If you loved playing Grand Chase, then you’ll be interested to know that Elsword Online is developed by the very same developing team.Elsword has recently been rather aggressively marketed through video ads featuring its amazingly catchy promo video, but this shouldn't deter anyone, even those who abhor heavy advertising, from truly checking the game out. This game is brilliant in its own right and will definitely appeal to players who love anime and/or Maplestory.
Fairy Tail: Hero's Journey
Fairy Tail: Hero's Journey is actually an official browser MMO game for the popular magic-dueling anime, Fairy Tail, unlike some of the anime MMOs we've encountered so far. Featuring all the familiar cast of characters, this game will pit your team of hand-picked heroes against the anime’s biggest villains as you battle your way through the Grand Magic Games and hopefully, help your guild, Fairy Tail, secure its title of being the most powerful magic guild in Fiore. However, things don’t go as planned and soon enough, you may find yourself embroiled in an adventure that’s much more intriguing…The game plays out much like your typical browser MMO. This basically means that combat is automated and questing is semi-automated as well. You won't be fighting alone either - you will eventually be able to assemble a team of mages, along with a pet and mount, to help you along in your journey. These mages, mount and pet can of course be upgraded to increase their combat efficiency and hence, your overall combat power.
Fairy Tail: Hero's Journey may have the blessing and perhaps even backing of the actual anime franchise, but the game isn't exactly breaking the typical mould that defines a browser MMO. It's fun enough for fans of the anime and for casual-like MMOs though, and if you're among the players who fall into one of these two camps, you'll want to give the game a try.
