Melting World Online vs Supreme Commander 2
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.
Supreme Commander 2
Supreme Commander 2 is the exciting sequel to the popular real-time strategy game franchise. In this game, players will get to create massive armies under the banner of one of the three different factions, namely The United Earth Federation (UEF), the Cybran Nation and the Illuminate. The game's campaign details the storyline of three commanders from different factions, letting you experience an engaging storyline behind each commander's reasons that drive them in this seemingly endless war. Players get to also customize every unit they recruit, including experimental units with hidden skills that can be unlocked via research. Best yet, everything feels faster than the previous game.Like the previous game, the multiplayer aspect of Supreme Commander 2 can be rather lacking unless you've got friends to play the game with. That said, this is still a pretty nice follow-up in the game series and is a must-buy for fans of the original.
