Waste Walkers

Really solid nuclear post-apocalypse RPG. I had a good time going through the world, scavenging for supplies and fighting. If you enjoy S.T.A.L.K.E.R. or Fallout and are familiar with RPGmaker games, you'll like this game too. I've yet to play through the DLCs yet, but they look promising as well! I'd give this game a 9/10. Definitely among the top-tier RPGmaker games I've gone through. Even though I set my playthrough on hardcore, it felt pretty easy from start to end. It had its moments of difficulty -- like [spoiler]encountering both gun-type bandits, pyros, and bombers[/spoiler] -- but the biggest spike in difficulty was in the optional arena questline.

Its setting immediately evokes the desolation of beloved wasteland-themed franchises, yet it retains a distinctly independent charm that makes it stand apart from many modern RPGs. At the heart of the experience is its extensive customization system. Players are free to shape their survivor through various attributes, equipment choices, and progression paths, allowing for a highly personalized journey through the wasteland. The game's open-ended structure rewards experimentation, whether players prefer direct confrontation, careful preparation, or a more ba…

The story isn't deep, but the writing is good. A nice, open world where you can run around and explore, with turn-based combat, and lots of things to think about while playing. I enjoyed my time with it.

Great gameplay, lots of customization and a story with depth. I enjoy it!
