Ancient Aliens: The Game vs Vanquish
Ancient Aliens: The Game
Ancient Aliens: The Game is a conspiracy-themed idle city-building adventure game based on the popular TV documentary series on The History Channel, Ancient Aliens. In this game, you play as an alien hybrid who is hell-bent on learning the truth. To do so, you'll need to work with Ancient Astronaut Theorists to uncover evidence. You will also abduct primitive humans and tweak their DNA to help them advance to the next stage of civilization, just so you can further exploit the Earth's rich natural resources just to build impressive monuments to placate your alien overlords.Idle mobile games are a dime a dozen nowadays, but this game manages to stand out simply by tapping into the little voice in each of our heads that say "What if?". The "story", if you can even call it that, can be as mind-bogglingly shocking, and confusing, as the documentary series, but if you enjoy a good alien-related conspiracy or two, Ancient Aliens: The Game is definitely a game you'll want to play.
Vanquish
Vanquish puts you into the shoes of government operative, Sam Gideon, who is part of the elite group of operatives that has their own Augmented Reaction Suit which give them superior firepower, superhuman speed and agility as well as a certain amount of suave as they take down groups of hostile and deadly robots. The combat system in this game is incredibly well-made and unique. Aside from having a bullet time system, it also provides players with a smooth gameplay, be it when they are performing kinetic melee moves or when they are trading gunfire with the robots.However, many players have mentioned about the flaw when it comes to weapon upgrades in this game. Unlike most games, you actually have to be equipping the correct gun type in order to pick up the upgrade cube, which randomly appears. It does provide players with the incentive to keep replaying the game but it can be pretty frustrating if you had to give up picking up a hard-earned cube because you don't have the weapon you need.
Besides this downside though, Vanquish is among the top-most third-person shooters that have excellent, well-designed mechanics. If you enjoy smooth combat and a cool and somewhat Halo-like suit, then this is definitely the game for you!
