Knights & Dragons vs Wasteland 2
Knights & Dragons
Knights & Dragons is a fun fantasy-themed RPG that is quite similar to Artix's popular browser-based 2D RPG, AdventureQuest, in terms of its art style and the humor it uses in its dialogue and storyline. In this game, you play as a Knight-Commander of the Kingdom, who was sent to the kingdom's frontier to push back against the horde of relentless monsters sent to attack the people by the evil Dark Prince. Aside from being able to assemble a team of noble knights, you can even capture battle pets that will help bolster certain stats, in addition to contributing some DPS, during combat.Not to mention, you will also get to build a base of some sort in this game. The base mainly houses some structures that will either help you upgrade or craft armor, or help you by generating coins passively over time. There's also a PvP arena for you to test your mettle against rival knights, a gacha-style Chance Chest where you can potentially win powerful armor sets, and even a guild system.
Knights & Dragons may look like a kid's RPG on the surface, much like AdventureQuest did, but if you really get into the game, you'll find that the game has plenty of depth, a pretty interesting storyline and a host of characters that are quite funny.

Wasteland 2
Wasteland 2 is the exciting sequel to the legendary Wasteland 1. However, unlike the text-heavy original, this new game provides an incredibly-polished, turn-based strategic gameplay that will bring to mind games like Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics. You'll also get to reprise your role as the enigmatic leader of the Desert Ranger squad and assemble a team that can handle a wide range of weapons and preferably people with personalities which you can work with. Thankfully, it's nice that the game actually lets you customize the personality traits of your squad aside from customizing their looks and their loadouts.Like the previous game, the storyline is heavily based on your decisions and the consequences that came out of these decisions, some of which may even change the lives of the characters in the game. Wasteland is also a bit more tactical than its predecessor, allowing you to tactically maim your enemies to slow them down, for example. You can even kick down or stealthily pick the lock on doors if you don't feel like going on a hunt for the key.
With so many accolades and praises under its belt, Wasteland 2 proved that an age-old franchise can be revived with critical success. inXile Entertainment and their massive Kickstarter community definitely deserved a huge pat in the back for bringing Wasteland back for the younger generation to experience.
