Tower of Fantasy
Developer: Hotta Studio | Setting: Anime, Sci-Fi | Release date: August 11, 2022 | Platform: PC, Mobile
What kind of game is this? Tower of Fantasy is an action MMORPG with colorful anime graphics. It initially reminds one of Genshin Impact.
The MMORPG offers you daily quests, an exciting main story, and stunning graphics. Moreover, you use various mounts, climb, fly or swim.
In PvE, you encounter world bosses and other monsters, explore the world and collect cores with which you draw characters. PvP is also possible.
Similar to Genshin Impact, you have the opportunity to draw different characters in so-called “special orders”. From these, you then build a team for battle.
The game apparently runs so well that “Tower of Fantasy Classic” was recently announced (via mmo-news.audio), even though the MMO is still relatively new. In addition, a major collaboration with the anime EVANGELION is starting (via playstation.com).
Guild Wars 2
Developer: ArenaNet | Setting: Fantasy | Release date: August 26, 2012 | Platform: PC
What kind of game is this? Guild Wars 2 is an MMORPG that has been continuously developed since 2012. It is aimed primarily at “casual players” who like to explore the world and experience a story as a hero. The pleasant part is the consistent level – Since release, you only reach up to level 80, there is no gear score. Once earned, items are practically useful for an infinite time.
You explore the vast game world while dynamic events keep popping up along the way, adding to the dynamic quests. Additionally, hidden achievements and the tricky jumping puzzles make the leveling phase even more diverse.
The MMORPG implements a mix of tab-targeting and action-combat in its combat system. You select your target yourself, but you have to place AoE attacks yourself and you can dodge enemy attacks.
There are PvE contents like dungeons and raids, but PvP fans also get their money’s worth. You can compete in arenas or participate in world versus world, where whole servers clash in 7-day battles.
The base game of Guild Wars 2 is free, but you have to buy the expansions. Recently, the expansion Secrets of the Obscure was released and focuses on content updates every 3 months to bridge the long content droughts of “the past”.
