The quick way to describe Golf Club: Wasteland ($2.99) is this: what if the Super Stickman Golf series had a post-apocalyptic story that mocked the state of modern society" The games aren’t entirely the same, but if you like 2D golf, and its unique take on verticality and hazards that regular golf games don’t have, you definitely need to check this out. The whole game takes place on a post-apocalyptic Earth, as you visit from Mars and play a few holes on the Earth links, which take you through the crumbling wastelands after the Great Catastrophe. Whatever happened on Earth, not a lot of people stuck around, and those that stuck around…aren’t doing great. This leads to an interesting narrative golfing experience, which is not something I ever expected to say.
At its core, Golf Club: Wasteland is a 2D golfing game, and you don’t need me to explain how golfing works. The controls are simple to use, as you tap and hold anywhere on screen, and pull back to aim. You don’t have any specific clubs, and can theoretically putt at any time by just aiming horizontally. Remembering that you can aim from anywhere is a major key, because if you just try to start aiming from where your golfer is, you will likely run into the edge of the screen, and mess up your shots. however, being able to tap and drag to aim from anywhere on screen, once you fully realize this, makes the game a lot easier to play! I do wish that it showed your previous shot...
