Lapse: A Forgotten Future vs Might & Magic: Heroes VII
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!
Might & Magic: Heroes VII
Might & Magic: Heroes VII is the latest (and perhaps most disappointing) installment of the classic turn-based RPG series, Might & Magic. It's not that the gameplay is horridly bad - it's actually somewhat the opposite. Many fans have liked the variety this installment has brought, especially the six different faction campaigns that you can enjoy, each with their own stories and landscapes of course. This game also has a nice, low-key empire building aspect where you'll manage your city, gather resources and recruit extra armies to help you take down your enemies. The synergy between the heroes and their armies is well-designed too, and not to mention, the game has a nice skirmish mode where you can simply test your skills against an AI whereby both of you are given maximum power.However, all those aside, Might & Magic: Heroes VII is possibly one of the buggiest games ever made for the franchise. The game crashes pretty often and the bugs, although rarely game-breaking, are incredibly annoying. The multiplayer mode is also practically non-existant mainly because it doesn't even work. Worst yet, the developers apparently have given up trying to fix the game and left the game almost as broken as the day it was released.
So, considering all of that, we really couldn't recommend getting Might & Magic: Heroes VII unless you can get it at a "way below market price" range or you'll just end up regretting all the wasted money.
