"Excellent turn-based gameplay!"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

It took me a little while to get into it, but after a while I found myself enjoying this game quite a lot.

Wasteland 2 is a turn-based squad tactics RPG. You create 4 characters (or select them from a pre-made character list), giving each one their own specialisations. In addition to a variety of combat skills (pistols, shotguns, bladed melee weapons, etc), you can choose several non-combat skills (lock-picking, safe-cracking, trap disarming). Some skills have uses in both combat and non-combat situations – e.g. Computer science can be used to open doors with electronic locks and to neutralise robot enemies.

The game has good replay value, between the character customisation and the side quests, which can be resolved in multiple ways. There are also extra followers that you can meet in your journeys, which means that you can have up to 7 people in your team at once. With a wide variety of weapons and enemies and two large areas to explore, there's a enough content for a couple of play-throughs.

The graphics aren't amazing, though. The music is a little hit and miss too, but the sound effects are good.

If you're into turn-based games, I highly recommend.

"Awesome turn-based apocalyptic RPG"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

It's been a while since I played turn-based RPG's and looked around and found this little gem. It's not the latest game, but it's brilliant! Graphics aren't bad, story's good, combat is nice.

And it's a change from your typical sword and sorcery RPG.

"Great"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

AWSOME game. Taking ages to finish. It's not quiet fallout 2, but way better than tactics or fallout 3. A few combat drawbacks and unit placement issues but the publisher seams good on releasing patches. At first I didn't like steam but the ability to stream from my game beast to the little lounge room pc and still play at full processor power off a ssd is helping me put up with slower loading times than the next gen consoles I've become used to.

Description

Wasteland 2 is the direct sequel to 1988’s Wasteland, the first-ever post-apocalyptic computer RPG and the inspiration behind the Fallout series. Until Wasteland, no other CRPG had ever allowed players to control and command individual party members for tactical purposes or given them the chance to make moral choices that would directly affect the world around them. Wasteland was a pioneer in multi-path problem solving, dripping in choice and consequence and eschewing the typical one-key-per-lock puzzle solving methods of its peers, in favor of putting the power into players’ hands to advance based on their own particular play style.

The Wasteland series impressive and innovative lineage has been preserved at its very core, but modernized for the fans of today with Wasteland 2. Immerse yourself in turn-based tactical combat that will test the very limits of your strategy skills as you fight to survive a desolate world where brute strength alone isn’t enough to save you. Deck out your Ranger squad with the most devastating weaponry this side of the fallout zone and get ready for maximum destruction with the RPG-style character advancement and customization that made the first Wasteland so brutal. Save an ally from certain death or let them perish – the choice is yours, but so are the consequences.
