Top of the best MMORPG on Android and iOS
MMORPG gaming genre, in its usual sense, appeared in the ’90s but gained popularity thanks to the iconic project Ultima Online. Creation of Origin Systems and Richard Gerriot blew up the entertainment industry. It then was incurred: Neverwinter Nights from BioWare, cult LA2 and WoW, Final Fantasy, EVE Online, and a vast number of similar works, which with excellent regularity take over from a competitor all key and not very mechanics.
With the advent of smartphones capable of pulling full-fledged MMOs, the market for games has expanded even more:
Powerful iron;
Screens with multi-touch support;
Complete independence from a particular gaming location;
Internet access from anywhere in the world.
Why not?
As a result, today, we have a total power of client projects with stunning graphics, great story, and a favorite setting- where you have to dress cooler, take a bigger baton and show everyone who is the birth father of all MMOs. It’s just like the old days.
Let’s see what the best MMORPGs on Android and iOS look like in early 2019. Some of the top projects are just gaining popularity, but already show excellent growth, worthy of veterans of the mobile market. So here we go.
Darkness Rises
Minuses
Opens our top role-playing action for Android and iOS, which will unfold in a fictional country that is enveloped in a “fog of war,” hiding fierce monsters and creatures. The rest is like in the “adult” RPG: guilds, PvP, bands, Kraft, green, and evenings. Fighting with huge epic bosses is envisaged as the apogee.
A typical set of magic, tank, and DD is available to the user. Still, the character editor will give light to top AAA games for PC: absolutely everything is set, including the size of the main female “argument.”
The gameplay is unimaginable. You get bonuses for almost any action. But in the late stages of the game, it turns sideways, because the gold rashes very little, and mobs do not faint from impact. As a result, either a green or a hard donation, to which the developer unobtrusively leads you to the handle. Is the game worth the time spent? Why not. Especially the graphics here are not worse than the latest generation consoles.
Warspear Online
In front of you is a real old-timer for mobile platforms, as it came out in the era of Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread.
The battle for so many years polished to shine: quests more than 1500, the system of character development is so extensive that some will seem redundant. Players have access to 4 classic races and about 16 classes, including magicians with paladins and sophisticated necromancers and blade-crushing spells. There are over a hundred skills and more options for the custom build.
Graphics is frankly on the amateur, because all the models are sprite, with hail from the 90s. However, it is compensated by a good fight, PvP 5 on five systems, and impressive size locations. Yes, and Warspear requirements for today’s standards are minuscule: 80 MB for the client and EDGE-connection. And it’s entirely Russian, of course.
Black Desert Mobile
The original Black Desert from head to toe licked all the famous game publishers, comparing it with Lineage 2 sample 2004. Of the positive – a vast, seamless world without downloads, there is no division into “tank,” “heel,” “support” (all – DD with individual skills for survival), unlimited cap, and independence from the group at high levels.
All the pros and cons of the original were transferred to the mobile version, including detailed customization, seamless, non-targeting system, active dodging, and the ability to jump. However, difficulties with the selection of skills for each class also did not go anywhere.
And all would be fine but at the moment the main joint of mobile MMO – language. Bless Mobile is available only in Korean and partly in English. That’s why it’s either a dictionary or an empirical method of mastering mechanics, which won’t be a problem for experienced people. The gameplay is still good.
Albion Online
On the seventh line of top 10 MMORPG for phones and tablets, one more project that has come from “the big” ground, i.e., the personal computer, has settled down. As in the previous case, the developers pixel by pixel transferred to smartphones all the combat mechanics, gameplay, graphics, and, unfortunately, paid access. On the other hand, the donation in the game is not from the word at all.
In Google Play, you will not find the project only on the official website of the developers. Special thanks to the Russian localization team and the complete absence of advertising, although for $30 on another can not be. The main advantage – cross-platform, i.e., you can stay online all the time. Your smartphone requires support for Android 5.0, 2 GB RAM, and OpenGL ES 2.0.
There are also disadvantages, namely hardcore and a high chance to lose all equipment in PvP or die from a strong monster. And control is sharpened for the most part for computers.
Crusaders of light
This mobile project was previously known as the Land of Glory. By its style and graphics, the game, in many ways, copies the legendary WoW, including skills, game mechanics, types of characters, and smaller details. This MMORPG is more suitable for hardcore players because, in most cases, it requires a swift response (danji, mass PvP, boss battles, etc.). Although there is a relaxation mode for the lazy, it is also an auto body.
In classes, everything is sad and predictable: a magician, warrior, and archer with a rigid binding on equipment, weapons, and skids. The pattern is diluted by a well-thought-out system of Kraft, mounts, single battles, and cool battles of 40×40 people. The main thing is that the smartphone pulls out such a euphonium.
The game has already been dubbed “killer” L2 Revolution, but we do not undertake to put this fact in absolute.
Novoland: The Castle In The Sky
Here’s a game from the series “put on all the best at once.” A character editor for a couple of hours killed time, and big-eyed nanny girls with legs on a meter and a half, and a gun the size of a trailer from a folder truck. Well, the combat system is pretty familiar, consisting of 4 necessary skills + attack. Also did not do without mounts, motor raids, and inter-server PvP for the soul.
Talented developers have implemented the ability to build houses, get married, chat on voice chat, and more. You can feel some pebbles from all modern browser-based MMOs of Korean and Chinese spill. But it’s nice to play in Novoland because all NPCs are friendly to lead you by the hand on the story track.
There are also disadvantages. There’s no Russian localization, periodic bugs, monotonous quests, and grinds. The class balance is limping on one leg, but they promise to fix it. If you turn a blind eye to it, the project is quite worthy.
Hundred Soul
“Thousands of Souls is a project of the Korean studio Eyedentity Games, founded their own company Hound 13. The team includes some pretty iconic figures who worked on Dragon Nest, Dungeon Strikes, and Rusty Hearts. So you can have no doubts about cool non-target MMO with exciting gameplay.
Unity is in charge of graphics, but the visual will give a forum even for UE4 projects, so cool everything is worked out here. From the side, the game looks like ported TERA, only more colorful.
From a positive note, a huge number of characters, companions with individual skills, no class restrictions, and the ability to wear anything you like. Well, according to the tradition of “boys – globalist, girls – staffs and armored bra. Unfortunately, the game has been translated only into English, but it will hardly stop MMO fans.
Rangers Of Oblivion
The project was developed with full commitment. However, the title of the best MMORPG game in Russian ROO can not get, because the Cyrillic is not yet supported. Perhaps, it is the main joint of localizers, though temporary.
From pluses, we will note the fresh character editor and, strangely enough, graphics. In real-time, you can monitor the CPU and battery bandwidth. If the scale is red – reduce the settings. Otherwise, the battery will run out in just 2-3 hours. And FPS in active scenes is easier to control because the game is very sensitive to timing and responses to the enemy’s attacks.
The combat system is typical to the ugly: 3 skills on the right, running + the usual “poke.” The weapon set is also predictable and has four types of strikes each. Swing it any way you want. And for a simpler swing, there are companions that you can upgrade to your liking.
Rappelz The Rift
This game is still under development, but you can already play the beta version. Let’s start with the main thing: there is a rigid gender binding to the class (tank and hill – men, archer, and dark magician – women). It’s not critical, but it’s a shame, you run all the same. Sötting is stylized as the European Middle Ages, but Korean “ears” stick out from everywhere. However, it is glad that the developers are friends with physics, not using skids to jump to the height of the two-story for a significant blow.
There is no system of auto-buy and autorun; for beginners, there is a guide. Feel the spirit of the games of the 2000s, when the gameplay is not cut to please the new generation of casualists. Otherwise, everything is standard: PvP, guilds, mounts from a horde of neutral mobiles.
It is not entirely clear why the players were taught to “talk,” or rather to mumble, but who will understand these Koreans. The main thing is that the graphics were a success.
AxE: Alliance vs Empire
At the top of the top is a project in the MMORPG genre with a lot of action from Chinese studio Nexon GT. Everything here is glowing, flashing, hurting, and looks as beautiful as you like. It’s a sin to complain about the graphics – Unity 5, brought to mind by developers from the Celestial Empire.
The mechanics are classical: men are brutal, women are elegant, and in Africa, there are lobbies without them. That’s just the classes are rigidly tied to the races, which in the game there are only 6, and a half – a duplicate in a different armor.
The developer offers a factional system in which the Alliance fights the Empire. Significant PvP events, battles, separate zones with free PK, and so-called “nub-kil” are declared. One drawback is that in Russia, the project is still in ZBT, albeit global.
