Rogue Lineage is the only thing slightly keeping me on this shit and i think i just quit
Vesteria is dogshit
Swordburst 2 was slightly cool at the start when i was retarded but i realized it was click simulator when i reached floor 8
World Zero has the exact same problem as Swordburst 2 but now with Pets Wow omg so cool right guys omg, strip the game of its graphics and its dogshit
Other shit like wisteria and blood samurai 2 are just either a. reroll simulators, or b. afk simulators so the devs can get robux off of premium players.
99% Anime RPG games are fundamentally bad because of their basis on adding all the cool shit behind a robux paywall,having the reroll or afk syndrome, or just having the whole kill bandit, repeat, kill stronger bandit, repeat.
Also for the fact that the only thing making most of them “anime based games” are the powers and some of the npcs. Do a quick reskin and you now have a game thats based on a different anime.
Only thing worth waiting for now is Deepwoken, AO, Boundless, Exoria, Kin of Ra, and some others
I am going to try Dungeon Slayer now and maybe Adventure Up wish me luck
Dungeon quest - The grindiest and most repetative of them all. Keeping it simple is alright, but it’s too simple. It’s literally the same thing over and over. Though the loop is addicting and i’m not one to talk because i’m level 165 in it
World Zero - The child of swordburst and dungeon quest…but anime…? It’s better than both but gets really stale really fast.
I know ive been pretty harsh on these games, (imo deservingly), each of these games has aspects i like.
I like WoM (Now AO) worldbuilding and exploration aspect and obv its magic.
I enjoy Rogues variety of classes, the exploration aspect, the drive to do more (the game has literally the perfect amount of difficulty for the older generation of players, but braindead ape supers and ultras, gank squads, boosted kids, and exploiters have ruined it.)
Swordburst was uh… i actually cant really think of anything good.
World Zero is also pretty dogshit
BS2 had faster paced combat (albeit just m1 spam) and nice graphics that makes being a samurai feel pretty cool.
But they all have extremely critcal flaws that just ruin everything about it or just really dumb small aspects of the game they dont fix that makes me realize how little the creators cared about the game. Like vesteria and World Zero’s falling out of the world glitches that just make you go
They’re trying to rework Blood Samurai 2 rn. They already trashed the racial abilities and added passives, and now they’re going to trash the combat racial passives, and are FINALLY adding what they said they would long ago, that being the stance skill trees.
BS2 still has hope. It’s going back to its original plans.
Oh, and although it’s dead right now, and EXP gain is slow as fuck without players (The only optimal ways to gain EXP are through player kills and trading with players. There are no mobs to farm.), Realm of Ruin is pretty cool
Adventure Up is a dungeon quest clone that pretends to be unique and has somehow convinced numerous people that it is.
Dungeon Slayer is actually cool, though, I 100% suggest trying it.
To list one you’ve probably already played, voxlblade is nice.
Another good one is PWNED: Aeternae Memori, it looks very anime but its actually unique.
Can’t forget Heroes! 2, made by Davidii, its a real hidden gem that’s almost completely died out but its getting remade.
Fantastic Frontier is nice.
Lords of Nomrial is a classic but it suffers from some of the things you mentioned in this post.
anddd that’s all of the good ones I know that you didn’t list off the top of my head.
