Punk Wars vs Wasteland 2
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.
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.
