Lapse: A Forgotten Future vs Wasteland 1: The Original Classic
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!
Wasteland 1: The Original Classic
Wasteland 1: The Original Classic is the father of modern post-apocalyptic RPGs and rightfully so. Set in the year 2087 after an all-out nucler war, the game lays out the precedence for games like the very first Fallout game. In fact, from the game itself, you can see some of the similarities. That said, Wasteland 1 is a lot more old-school than Fallout 1 and hence, there are plenty more undesirable aspects, bugs and glitches that may make anyone albeit a hardcore fan to throw up their hands in despair.Nevertheless, Wasteland 1 is still a classic in many ways. It is possibly among the first games with a consequence-driven reactive world, for instance, and it has a party-based system allowing you to recruit people to help you on your quest to find out what's threatening the very survival of the remnants of humanity aside from the usual roving mutants and raiders.
Despite the novelty, we honestly wouldn't recommend Wasteland 1 to anyone who has not played the game before when it was first released... back when games were still primarily text-based. Instead, if you'd like to experience a much better and advanced version of Wasteland 1, you should get Wasteland 2.
