NosTale vs Sword Art Online
NosTale
NosTale is an anime-inspired MMORPG filled with adorable, chibi-like characters set a vibrant, colorful world. Specialize your adventurer into either a Swordsman, Archer or Mage and set off on an amazing journey to catch as many pets as you can for your collection, or if you're a tad bit more picky, to catch only the strongest pets so you can win all your battles. Sometimes, you will also get an NPC as a companion on your travels. Players are given plenty of methods to improve their own characters along with that of their pets and companions. In addition to the usual PvP and PvE content, the game even has special events that will teleport you to a limited-time mini-dungeon where you'll need to fight various creatures and enemies alone or with some friends.NosTale is actually quite similar to other cute-looking, pet-catching/collecting MMORPGs where pets play an important role in the games' combat system, much like Digimon Master Online or any Pokemon game. So, if you enjoy this sort of games, you might want to check out NosTale!
Sword Art Online
Sword Art Online , published by Instant Funs - the very people behind the successful idle-like MMO game, Pokemon Mega, is a free-to-play, anime-themed, idle-like MMORPG that puts you in the shoes of a participant in the virtual yet ruthless world of Aincrad where you have to level up and improve in order to survive. Although the game doesn't really put much focus on its storyline - it's pretty much non-existent, its gameplay can still be quite entertaining to play.As you may expect from an idle-like game, you don't really get to play your character, whether you chose the swordsman, the archer or the mage. In spite of its automatic combat, however, the game has tons of other stuff for you to do including upgrading your weapon and armor, honing your skills, and smelting items you don’t need. There are plenty of PvE dungeons, including instances where you can farm for upgrade materials or monster hunts where you can get legendary gear, as well as PvP arena and cross-server tournaments to boot!
So, regardless of whether you know what its namesake is all about, you might still want to give Sword Art Online a try especially if you enjoy idle-like MMOs. The game will just suck you right in!
