The Battle of Polytopia vs Wasteland 2
The Battle of Polytopia
The Battle of Polytopia is a fun turn-based strategy game that has a really unique art style and is the flagship game of the small indie game studio in Sweden, Midjiwan. Choose any of the tribes available and set off on an exciting adventure across a rich and diverse world filled with places to explore, and areas to claim for your empire. Best yet, the game generates a random map whenever you start a new game, giving you literally unlimited replayability.Since its release, The Battle of Polytopia has been really well-received, rocketing the small indie company to substantial fame, which admittedly is a pretty high feat, especially for a company's first game. So, if you are a fan of turn-based strategy games, you'll want to try this game out.
Wasteland 2
Wasteland 2 is the exciting sequel to the legendary Wasteland 1. However, unlike the text-heavy original, this new game provides an incredibly-polished, turn-based strategic gameplay that will bring to mind games like Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics. You'll also get to reprise your role as the enigmatic leader of the Desert Ranger squad and assemble a team that can handle a wide range of weapons and preferably people with personalities which you can work with. Thankfully, it's nice that the game actually lets you customize the personality traits of your squad aside from customizing their looks and their loadouts.Like the previous game, the storyline is heavily based on your decisions and the consequences that came out of these decisions, some of which may even change the lives of the characters in the game. Wasteland is also a bit more tactical than its predecessor, allowing you to tactically maim your enemies to slow them down, for example. You can even kick down or stealthily pick the lock on doors if you don't feel like going on a hunt for the key.
With so many accolades and praises under its belt, Wasteland 2 proved that an age-old franchise can be revived with critical success. inXile Entertainment and their massive Kickstarter community definitely deserved a huge pat in the back for bringing Wasteland back for the younger generation to experience.
