Lapse: A Forgotten Future vs Melting World Online
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!
Melting World Online
Melting World Online is a strategy RPG set in what seems to be an alien world. Featuring a unique old school-look, this game more than makes up for its dated graphics with an in-depth and surprisingly strategic gameplay. Aside from the timed turn-based combat, which is modelled after Fallout games' VATS system and is designed to keep you on your toes, you'll also get to assemble your own team of mechs (along with their mech pilots) to bring into the battlefield.The most intriguing part of the gameplay, however, is how you can customize your mech. Instead of giving you fixed slots to put your weapons and armor in, you get a grided box for each part of your mech, namely the cockpit, left and right arms, the body and left and right legs, where you can attempt to squeeze in as many weapons and armor as you can. After all, the more weapons you have means the more attacking options you'll have, while having more armor means your mech can take a lot more punishment from the enemy before going down.
Melting World Online may not win any prizes when it comes to its nostalgic 90s visuals, but its gameplay is definitely worth a look, especially if you're a huge fan of strategy games.
