You lost your memory in a world that lost its past. Survive the wastes, scavenge supplies, fight enemies, navigate factions and recover fragments of lost knowledge to piece together a history no faction remembers the same way. Travel between settlements, scavenge food, medicine, weapons and supplies, fight mutants, machines and hostile survivors, and manage the constant dangers of sickness, scarce resources and deadly journeys. Every faction has its own beliefs, interests and version of the past. Build relationships, earn trust, trade, complete quests and decide where your loyalties lie — but do not expect anyone to give you the whole truth. Knowledge is part of survival. Discover records, strange messages and fragments of lost information that reveal pieces of the world before the catastrophe. Different factions remember history differently, and the more you uncover, the more complicated the picture becomes. Build your character, improve skills and equipment, learn how enemies fight, explore dangerous locations and make each journey count. Death ends the current survivor’s run, but not everything you achieved is necessarily lost. Memory Wastes brings the depth and systems of a post-apocalyptic survival RPG to mobile without reducing the experience to a simplified mobile format. Survive the wastes. Recover what was forgotten. Decide what the past means when nobody remembers it the same way.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Memory Wastes at none against Rift Gate's shown. Rift Gate's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
