Melting World Online vs Punk Wars
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.
Punk Wars
Punk Wars is a turn-based strategy game featuring four warring factions, the Steampunk, the Dieselpunk, Atompunk, and Steelpunk – no cyberpunk though since it would likely be unfair to the other factions. In this game, you’ll get to battle for the supremacy of your faction of choice and dominate the battlefield. Each faction comes with its own unique units, buildings, and special resource. There’s also a map with plenty of Points-of-Interests to explore and events to respond to as you play.In a nutshell, Punk Wars is a 4x grand strategy game that’s designed for beginners to the genre or for experienced players to enjoy some casual play. It’s not as in-depth as many other popular games within its genre, but it does feature a refreshing theme, really cool art and 3D assets, and some fun albeit small-ish maps. So, if you know what you’ll be getting going in, you might find Punk Wars to be a rather fun game to play.
