Unfortunately all but two members of the Ranger squad you’re part of are wiped out in the tutorial, including the leader, so your two characters must establish a Ranger HQ and build it up from scratch. His children have gone rogue and he wants you to hunt them down for him to help him maintain power. You play as Rangers who are heading to Colorado to help The Patriarch in exchange for provisions for your group back in Arizona. Obviously it’s set in a post-apocalypse and it requires a massive time investment, but otherwise the similarities to the modern examples are few and far between. Wasteland 3 has far more in common with those tactical, turn based RPGs than what Fallout has become under Bethesda and it’s all the better for it. The original Wasteland was a precursor to Fallout, the old, good ones.

A lot of this was presumably meant to be fairly subtle satire but the state of the world has got so bad this year that it’s depressing how predictable it all apparently was.Septemin PS4 / Reviews tagged fallout / post-apocalypse / rpg / strategy / tactical / wasteland / xcom by Gareth The game starts with a tragicomic disclaimer pointing out that work began on it years ago, as a purposefully exaggerated pastiche of modern politics, and the fact that so much of it has ‘been mirrored by our current reality’ was not originally planned for.Īlthough Wasteland 3 features a cult that worships Ronald Reagan and a band of killer clowns it also includes a corrupt paramilitary police force that rules through fear and misinformation and has a refugee crisis that illuminates just how cruel and fascistic the Patriarch’s leadership really is. In gameplay terms most of what Wasteland 3 is trying to do has already been done better by Original Sin 2 but what makes it interesting is the setting and the characters, which are obviously completely different.

One thing that was obvious from the various acquisitions is that Microsoft wants more first party role-playing games, as they now have Playground working on a new Fable and Obsidian making Avowed. We’re still yet to discover what attracted Microsoft to Compulsion but Wasteland 3 offers a pretty good explanation for why they snapped up inXile. Forza Horizon creators Playground Games and State Of Decay developer Undead Labs made sense but the likes of Compulsion Games (We Happy Few) and inXile were developers most people had never even heard of.
When Microsoft started buying up studios to bolster their in-house development many were surprised at some of the choices. The original inspiration for Fallout returns with a new sequel that portrays a worryingly plausible post-apocalyptic future. Wasteland 3 – art imitates life (pic: Deep Silver)
