Wasteland 1: The Original Classic vs XCOM 2
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.
XCOM 2
XCOM 2 is the highly anticipated and very well-received sequel to XCOM: Enemy Unknown, the award-winning strategy game of the year 2012. Set in world dominated by aliens 20 years into the future, XCOM 2 puts you in charge of the remnants of the decimated XCOM forces who will be lending their skills and abilities to humanity's growing resistance movement. XCOM 2 offers players with a whole new list of resistance fighters to recruit, an intriguing tactically-based guerrilla combat, a wide variety of enemies, and an in-depth technology tree for you to unlock.Interestingly, in addition to a 1-on-1 party-based multiplayer game mode, the game also provides tools for its community of players to create not only their own maps but also their own campaigns, aliens, classes, and gameplay features. They can even share their creations with the world.
Fans of XCOM will be delighted with this sequel mainly because it is so much better in every possible way. Sounds like a game you'd like to play? Well, buy the game today - you wopn't regret it, that's for sure!
