Fallout Shelter vs This War of Mine
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!
This War of Mine
This War of Mine is an indie, 2D survival management game that, unlike most games in its genre, is set not in a post-apocalyptic world but in a war-torn country. Despite being war-themed, the game doesn't cast you into the role of the brave soldier but of the average citizen trying to make the best of the situation and to survive long enough until the war breaks (if it ever).Due to this twist of perspective, along with the fact that every decision and action you make has consequences, both mentally and physically, on the character who did the deed as well as the team, the game ended up having a very tragic undertone and atmosphere throughout its gameplay. After all, you do have to make some difficult decisions in an effort to keep your people alive. From time to time, special events may also pop up and you will need to make a decision to be involved or to stay out of it.
Survival is also another important aspect of the game, and as such, you will need to scavenge for supplies and ensure that your people are well-fed and watered. Materials, tools, and items you gathered over your trips outdoors can be used to craft something else or be sold for some extra cash. During wartime, people are naturally more cautious and for some, more aggressive. It's wise to be careful whenever you encounter other "people" (they are NPCs), especially armed ones, lest your character get slain and your team stumbles straight into depression.
This War of Mine made headlights and game history with its challenging gameplay and of course, its brutally-honest look at the true victims of war. If you think your heart is ready to go through a rollercoaster of emotions, most of which are of the "sad" sort, then, you simply must give this game a try.
