Ancient Aliens: The Game vs Lapse: A Forgotten Future
Ancient Aliens: The Game
Ancient Aliens: The Game is a conspiracy-themed idle city-building adventure game based on the popular TV documentary series on The History Channel, Ancient Aliens. In this game, you play as an alien hybrid who is hell-bent on learning the truth. To do so, you'll need to work with Ancient Astronaut Theorists to uncover evidence. You will also abduct primitive humans and tweak their DNA to help them advance to the next stage of civilization, just so you can further exploit the Earth's rich natural resources just to build impressive monuments to placate your alien overlords.Idle mobile games are a dime a dozen nowadays, but this game manages to stand out simply by tapping into the little voice in each of our heads that say "What if?". The "story", if you can even call it that, can be as mind-bogglingly shocking, and confusing, as the documentary series, but if you enjoy a good alien-related conspiracy or two, Ancient Aliens: The Game is definitely a game you'll want to play.
Lapse: A Forgotten Future
Lapse: A Forgotten Future is a simple yet thought-provoking mobile game where you play as a president of a nation that's set in a post-apocalyptic world. As someone in such a powerful position, you have the power to make or break your country simply with a swipe of your finger while making decisions based on what you think is best for your people. There are 4 important stats you'll need to keep an eye on while you make your decisions as well. Every decision you make will impact these stats either by increasing or lowering them. You will want to keep them balanced and away from the bottom line. Once any one of these stats reached zero, your game will end.Unlike what many players may think, Lapse has several endings and you can reach them depending on the choices you make. Every choice has its own consequences, though not all of them can be immediately discerned.
The popularity that Lapse: A Forgotten Future has enjoyed is not very surprising since it has a gameplay which may bring to mind other morally-gray games, such as Paper, Please! If you like games that will challenge you to think, this is a game you'll want to try out!
