Wasteland
2 is a strategy Role Playing Game that immerses the player in tactical
turn-based combat, RPG-style character advancement and customization,
and deep choices that affect the narrative and memorable cast of
characters. 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.
