Mabinogi vs Torchlight
Mabinogi
Mabinogi is a free-to-play anime MMORPG that has a nice blend between MMO dungeon crawler/ sandbox and life simulation. It is a rather dated game and is not very newbie-friendly in regards to its combat system and controls... unless you have someone on the inside guiding you as you play the game. The talents and rebirth system ensure that players can gradually (if they’re hardworking enough) learn all the talents if they want to. There are also plenty of dungeons, and PvP arenas that you can enjoy. If you like collecting stuff, you might be delighted to know that Mabinogi offers a plethora of pets, mounts and cosmetics that you can purchase via the in-game shop. So, join the loyal fan base at Mabinogi today and try the game out!Torchlight
Torchlight is a fun dungeon crawling game that features an epic storyline, thrilling action and a loyal pet companion, which you can customize, to boot! Assemble a team of three heroes and descend into the monsters-filled caverns below the town in search of the valuable and rare ore, Ember, as well as plenty of riches and glory. You can even take a breather in between all the monster slaying to head off to a fishing pool and go fishing. The fishes you get are surprisingly powerful though - they can be fed to your loyal companion and turn it into powerful battle allies rather than just being a pack mule.Like most dungeon crawlers, randomization is key to the gameplay, giving players a fresh new experience everytime they replay the game, but of course, mod support also gives the game an even longer lifespan. To faciliate this replayability, the game even has a retirement system in place which allow you to pass down prized equipment to your new heroes as you "retire" the old one.
Torchlight may not have enjoyed a following that's large as Diablo, but the game has its own group of loyal fans and hardcore players who still play the game. The game itself feels so much more lighthearted than the dark demonic tones of the latter and is perfect for players who enjoy dungeon crawlers but dislike being scared silly by grotesque creatures of hell.
