Tibia is one of the pioneers of the MMORPG genre.However, it also offers an excellent class system and immersive gameplay. Realm of the Mad God is a pixel fantasy MMORPG, which has an extremely simplified and colourful visual style.It has sophisticated pixel graphics which looks close to realism, delightful animations and isometric angle of view.
Wild Terra is a sandbox survival game in a medieval setting.Sprites could consist of only two to three dozen pixels, and often looked pretty comical, which can not be said about the background: they almost always looked beautiful. Of course, this only applies to games from the late 90s: at the dawn of the first video games, pixel graphics looked as primitive as possible, and sometimes without the context of the game, it was difficult to guess what was happening on the screen. Sometimes it was painted so well that the game looked like it was using compressed photo format or hand-drawn pictures. The sprites had complex colour transitions and meticulously drawn details. Back in time, artists were trying to recreate the most realistic picture, but using only the pixel-art with a limited amount of colours. The retro Pixel MMO Games had a completely different style.
Sometimes the sprites are animated as usual pictures, which makes the graphics even smoother. In modern pixel games, all of the animations are smooth. The sprites are usually sharp, well conveying the mood of characters and objects. Instead of it, you can see the bright patches of reflected light of any colour, and light shades, just a couple of tones darker than the primary colour. It has almost no transitions between shadow and light the depth of objects is often not displayed. In modern games, pixel style usually has plain bright shades, with the full-colour palette. Usually, Pixel MMO Games are indie projects, because this type of graphics is quite cheap, attractive and unusual at the same time.
