The Walking Dead: Road to Survival vs Wasteland 1: The Original Classic
The Walking Dead: Road to Survival
The Walking Dead: Road to Survival is a post-apocalyptic-themed survival strategy/RPG that is somewhat based off on the insanely-popular TV show, The Walking Dead. Featuring a whole new storyline for you to experience, the game allows you to not only interact with your favorite characters; you can even choose which path your story goes by deciding which action to take when a major issue occurs.Being an RPG, the game allows you to assemble your own team of survivors-slash-fighters and upgrade them via several ways. You will also need to build up your town, head out on frequent supply runs or when worse comes to worst, you can even raid other people's bases for resources you need.
The Walking Dead: Road to Survival is not only a fun and addictive game in its own right; it is the sort of well-made game that fans of the show would simply love to play.
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.
