Advanced Wars vs Wasteland 2
Advanced Wars
Advanced Wars is a rather unique turn-based strategy game where you play as the tactical advisor for the Orange Star Army when war broke out between Orange Star and its neighbors. With invading armies positioned at the borders of your homeland, you'll need to take command of a wide variety of ground, air and naval forces to defend your home and survive the war. The terrain and weather play important roles during your tactical and strategic planning, and you'll be wise to take note of those factors before deploying your units.Advanced Wars is one of the classic strategy games that are nintendo-only. With over 100 maps and stages to play, you'll definitely have hours to sink into this game.
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.
