Fallout Shelter vs Flame in the Flood
Fallout Shelter
Fallout Shelter is a unique simulation game based on the highly-popular survival RPG series, Fallout. This game lets you play the role of the all-powerful Overseer of a fallout vault. It is now your responsibility to take care of the well-being of your people and expand your vault by adding in a variety of rooms.Aside from ensuring that your vault dwellers are getting the resources they need to survive, you'll also be expected to equip them with the strength (by leveling them up), the equipment and the stats they need to defend the vault from any invasive forces, be it a team of raiders attacking from the outside, or a swarm of radroaches attacking from within, or even disasters.
You can send your vault dwellers out into the wasteland to explore and gather important loot as well - loot that can then be re-appropriated to your own people or be broken down into parts that can then be used to build new weapons and outfits. The items that you get will be added to your collection too.
In short, Fallout Shelter is a very addictive management game that doesn't only appeal to fans of the Fallout series but also anyone who love playing games of the similar genre. Be sure to check it out!
Flame in the Flood
Flame in the Flood is a rather unique survival game that's developed by the ex-developers of Bioshock. Instead of featuring an open world, the game places you on a rickety raft, which you can then upgrade as you gather the necessary materials, that's being dragged down a long windy river. The waters aren't always smooth and easily navigatable as you might expect and from time to time, particularly in between "zones", you'll encounter a stretch of whitewater rapids that will truly challenge your rafting skills.In this game, you will also encounter locations where you can dock your raft at and explore. From churches to farms, each location offers varying amount of resources for you to gather, and if you're lucky, a place for you to take shelter for the night. These locations aren't all safe though! Aside from the more harmless wildlife like rabbits, you may encounter dangerous animals that can cause severe harm to your character - you may even die either from being gored by a wild boar or from injuries sustained from the fight.
As a survival game, there are several indicators that you'll need to keep your eyes on. Fail to do so and you may die of exhaustion, thirst, hunger or hypothermia. The game also features a pretty in-depth crafting system where you can produce useful items like bandages for your wounds and clothes to keep your character warm.
Flame in the Flood is a truly hardcore survival game. It's merciless in its gameplay, pitting you against challenges after challenges until your character can take no more. If you get frustrated easily, this is definitely not for you, but if you love a challenge, you might just want to give this game a try.
