Europa Universalis IV vs Wargame 1942
Europa Universalis IV
Europa Universalis IV is the fourth game in the award-winning Europa Universalis franchise. Similar to its predecessors, the game has everything you'd need to build your own nation from the ground up and guide it through the ages. The freedom in which you get to customize your giverning style, your nation and even your game is simply ridiculous (in a good way) and of course, the best selling point of this series is that almost everything is based on accurate historical references, be it a historical figure or an event. This time around you'll get to grow your nation over a much wider span of history, arrange royal marriages, form coalitions, support rebels in proxy wars and more. You can even cooperate with up to 32 different players to govern a single nation. The multiplayer mode apparently now has an improved chat and a new matchmaking system.Unfortunately, the major downside about this game is that the developers, Paradox Interactive, have apparently "sold-out" by adding in features that should have been in the original game into DLCs that players actually have to pay extra for, ending up spending over $200 for just a single game. Not to mention, many players have complained that the DLCs they release are priced at the same price point despite having progressively lower amount of content.
That said, the game is still an epic masterpiece and a worthy sequel to the Europa Universalis series, but the game's hardcore player base is admittedly not happy, and honestly, we wouldn't recommend getting this game unless you can get all of the DLCs dirt cheap... maybe like in a bundle.
Wargame 1942
Wargame 1942 is an MMORTS that allows you to influence the fate of the world by joining, albeit virtually, the Second World War. Set up a strong economy to support your military operations and mobilize your troops to defend your country from hostile invasions. You can generate money passively via factories and residential buildings and money can then be used to obtain ammunition from ammunition facilities, and crude oil that can then be refined into gasoline or diesel, as well as to carry out intelligence missions. There are also a ton of units you can recruit and upgrade as well as branches on the tech tree to unlock.Due to its intricacies, Wargame 1942 may not be an easy game to get into, but with wise decisions and strategic fleet deployments, you’ll stand a chance to take over the entire map and be one of the most revered yet feared leaders!
