Kritika Online vs Tartaros Rebirth
Kritika Online
Kritika Online is an impressive anime-themed MMORPG that's developed based on the the popular Kritika franchise. As opposed to having an open world for you to explore, the game utilizes stage-based and pretty linear “questing” zones which end with an epic boss fight... much like what Dragon Nest uses as a premise. Similarly, the game also provide players with action-packed and brilliantly-animated moves to fight various mobs with. There are even plenty of ways for you to advance your character besides simply leveling up, and an engaging storyline featuring a tyrannical villain to boot!In all seriousness, if you’re looking for a game like Dragon Nest to play, Kritika Online is your best bet. Give it a try today!
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.
