SAO’s Legend vs Tartaros Rebirth
SAO’s Legend
SAO’s Legend is an anime-themed MMORPG where the premise of the game is based on the original Sword Art Online series. In this game, you are somehow trapped in the beautiful yet deadly realm of the Fairy King and that’s not all, he apparently has some sort of score to settle with you as well. Thankfully, the king has not been a benevolent ruler and many of the fairy folk seek to overthrow him. With the support of these fairy heroes, it is now down to you to hone your team and become strong enough to defeat your captor and his minions and escape from the “fairytale hell” you’re trapped in!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.
