Kitchen Scramble vs Ragnarok Online
Kitchen Scramble
Kitchen Scramble is a cooking-themed time management game that is somewhat similar to Cooking Tale though the graphics look a whole lot amazing due to the change in the camera view. However, when it comes to the gameplay, both games are pretty similar. You'll need to cook and prepare the food that your customers have ordered before they ran out of patience (patience level vary depending on customers) and leave your shop. Naturally, you'll want to serve them as soon as you can just to earn a lot more tips. These cash can then be used to upgrade your kitchen appliances - not much decorations for you to buy here though. If you need help, there are boosters you can buy as well.Kitchen Scramble features a really wide variety of dishes from different cultures and countries worldwide. Interestingly, although the game does have a travelling element to it, the cities you get to go to are rather humourously named, like "Mount Foodji" or "Sour Francisdough". It does give the game a bit more appeal, making players more eager to unlock the next city and the next one after that. Not to mention, aside from premium appliances, this game also has premium ingredients to help you earn more cash.
As much as I've enjoyed Cooking Tale, I personally prefers Kitchen Scramble mainly because of the camera view. It makes the game look nicer in a 3D-like kind of way and well, your character won't be blocking your customers either. However, if you're looking for an alternative to Kitchen Scramble or maybe a slightly easier, time management game, then you might want to check out Cooking Tale instead.
Ragnarok Online
Ragnarok Online is a timeless classic and is among one of the very first anime-themed MMORPG that's based on a popular Korean comic series of the same name (which is still pretty popular now). The game is different from any other MMOs at that time mainly due to its unique graphical approach - using 2D sprites set in a 3D game environment. The game also infuses the "kawaii" and "chibi" concepts into its characters, giving rise to the famously cute Porings in the game.Gameplay-wise, Ragnarok Online has many features that may be relatively unheard of such as giving players the ability to set up their own vendors, in addition to having an auction house, to sell off items that have farmed or crafted. The job-based character progression system in this game is also incredibly in-depth, allowing for a wider variety of character builds. There are even collectible cards that players can not only collect from every single mob type in the game, but also equip these cards to enhance their equipment and stats.
It's not at all surprising to see that even 15 years after its initial release and having to put up with competition from its fully 3D sequel, Ragnarok Online 2, this game is still going pretty strong. If you consider yourself a hardcore MMO gamer, Ragnarok Online is a game you should try the first chance you get!
