Empire Earth vs Lapse: A Forgotten Future
Empire Earth
Empire Earth lets you take the reins of a newborn civilization and nurture it so it'd grow into a formidable empire that can eventually dominate the globe. But of course, your rise to power will not go unchallenged, so expect the need to flex your military muscles from time to time or employ some diplomatic action to ensure the expansion of your empire. As you go through various eras until the final, hypothetical "nano era", you'll need to invest in upgrading your technology both for your normal citizens and for your military just so your empire can keep up with the times and have both military might and economic strength growing in tandem. Multiplayer is also available but only through LAN.Empire Earth may not have been as popular as Age of Empires, but it is still a pretty renowned real-time strategy game back in the day. If you love the genre, you'll definitely enjoy playing this game.
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!
