WASTELAND 3 REVIEW FREE
Like a lot of modern games the character creation and development mechanics are class free, letting you free wheel the progression trees to create your own unique build. You get to make basic changes to your characters’ appearance, picking their face, hair, height, voice and clothes.įrom there you go on to pick a basic backstory, starting weapons, attributes, skills and quirks. For those looking to carve their own path from the get-go, character creation is par for the course in the genre. The stock characters offer a decent selection for those in a hurry and stick fairly closely to the traditional model/tropes seen in most modern post-apocalypse TVs, movies and games. Specifically, you can pick between the combat-focused Young Rangers, melee-driven Punk Lovers, stealthy Father Daughter, science-led Mentor and Student and A-team-esque Tech Heads. If you don’t want to build a character you can pick between a selection of pre-built squads, each of which come with a unique specialisation, look and backstory. In multiplayer each player takes control of a single protagonist, while in single player you manage two. Once the opening cutscene finishes you’re tasked to either pick from a selection of prebuilt characters or create your own custom hero, again exactly like Divinity Original Sin. This may make Wasteland 3 not terribly original, but, despite the gameplay and settings feeling very similar to other franchises, it still manages to be fun because it gets nearly all the basics right.įor anyone that’s played a Divinity, Pillars or Shadowrun game the mechanics will feel instantly familiar. Before Bethesda bought Fallout and turned it into an open-world, first-person RPG the franchise was also an isometric, turn-based RPG.

WASTELAND 3 REVIEW SERIES
Wasteland and Fallout are two series with very similar histories. If this sounds similar to the plot of a Fallout game, it should. The game follows on from the events of the first two games, seeing you travel to Colorado at the behest of the region’s self appointed leader, “the Patriarch”, who needs help quelling a slew of potential rebellions against him. These are a group of elite soldiers looking to restore order in a post-apocalyptic America suffering in the aftermath of a nuclear war. The game puts you in the shoes of a Ranger. Outside of tweaks to the character creation and development mechanics the only big difference between it and other titles in the genre is its setting. It tasks you to step into the shoes of a fictional hero, build a crew of ramshackle soldiers and survive amidst a hostile landscape. Wasteland 3 is a new isometric, turn-based tactical RPG in the same vein as the popular Pillars of Eternity, Divinity and Shadowrun series of games. Just go and buy it.īut, if you’re still on the fence, or confused about what that means, here are the specifics. That’s the short version and if you know what that means and like the idea there’s no need to keep reading this review. Wasteland 3 is Divinity Original Sin in post-apocalypse America.
