Ancient War vs Lapse: A Forgotten Future
Ancient War
Ancient War is a brand-new MMO RPG/strategy game that you can play for free directly on Facebook. In this game, you will need to choose one of 3 factions to join, namely Thebes, Athens or Sparta, before setting off to develop your city-state, recruit legendary heroes and their associated battalions, and take on your enemies.The gameplay here is pretty generic in many ways, but there are a couple features that stand out although they are not entirely unique. One such feature is the world map. Unlike many other games within the same genre, the world map feels a lot more real and alive as you can see the boundaries of each faction being drawn and re-drawn as players of the same faction work together to conquer other faction's city-states.
Another feature is the faction hierarchy. Each faction is governed by the players themselves and only the strongest players will be able to climb the ranks and assume one of the 4 important positions in the hierarchy. If you are the best of the lot, you can even be appointed King.
Ancient War isn't exactly a refreshingly unique browser MMO game, but it is not your run-of-the-mill game either. The gameplay is quite decent and the epic Greek-theme that it has may appeal to you as well.
Lapse: A Forgotten Future
Lapse: A Forgotten Future is a simple yet thought-provoking mobile game where you play as a president of a nation that's set in a post-apocalyptic world. As someone in such a powerful position, you have the power to make or break your country simply with a swipe of your finger while making decisions based on what you think is best for your people. There are 4 important stats you'll need to keep an eye on while you make your decisions as well. Every decision you make will impact these stats either by increasing or lowering them. You will want to keep them balanced and away from the bottom line. Once any one of these stats reached zero, your game will end.Unlike what many players may think, Lapse has several endings and you can reach them depending on the choices you make. Every choice has its own consequences, though not all of them can be immediately discerned.
The popularity that Lapse: A Forgotten Future has enjoyed is not very surprising since it has a gameplay which may bring to mind other morally-gray games, such as Paper, Please! If you like games that will challenge you to think, this is a game you'll want to try out!
