About WASTED

✦ AI summary

Get wasted by mutating your character through irradiated booze and gear while battling through procedurally generated underground bunkers packed with raiders, mutants, and deadly traps in this roguelike where permadeath is final. Build up your persistent homebase, make allies with quirky wasteland characters, and shape the future of post-apocalyptic California through your choices and actions.

Kill, drink, and kill some more in WASTED, a roguelike post-apocalyptic pub crawler set in a lawless wasteland that lives and dies by the rules “Get wasted, or get wasted trying.”

When a thermonuclear blitzkrieg deprives America of its greatest minds, the very hardiest specimens of humanity cling on to life. From the ashes of old America, a new world emerges, and an ersatz, post-apocalyptic, stillborn 80’s continues indefinitely, populated entirely by the toughest, meanest, and outright dumbest of God’s creations, the Wasters.

Live the life of a Waster, fighting tooth and nail, bullets and baseball bats over the most precious of unnatural resources, a liquid from beneath the sands that fuels all of un-civilization: Booze. Gain strange mutational Hangovers and explore the Coolers, mysterious underground bunkers, in search of powerful weapons, impressive armor, and a nice stiff drink to top it all off. Who knows, maybe you'll uncover some old world secrets while you're at it.

Or don't, because death comes quick in the Western Wastes, and what's yours today just might be picked off your pile of guts tomorrow.

KEY FEATURES



Get Wasted...
Customize your character through the S.H.O.T.S. system by drinking irradiated bottles of Booze. Gain powerful Hangovers and mutate yourself with a myriad of permanent abilities. Bolster your strengths by wearing gnarly, 80's inspired clothing, and arm yourself with an impressive array of things to beat, shoot, disintegrate, or explode your enemies with!

...Or Get Wasted Trying
Explore giant, procedurally generated Coolers in search of loot, but beware vicious raiders, disgusting mutants, and a plethora of deadly traps that'll stop at nothing to turn you into a messy pile of guts. Make your way to the bottom-most level of the Cooler in any way you choose: sneaking your way past your foes, obliterating them with brute force, or maybe even fooling them into fighting one another. Scrounge up ammo and items from your surroundings and loot the bodies of dead enemies for their stuff. Just take care not to overextend yourself - when your character dies, they're gone for good.

Carve Out Your Own Little Slice Of The Wastes
Build up your persistent player home and keep it stocked with weapons and supplies to keep you alive and ticking. Carve out your own little slice of the wastes by fitting your house with amenities like workbenches, kitchens, and gardens and decorate it with junk you find through your travels. Should the wastelands relieve you of your livelihood, your stuff will live on for the next Waster who stumbles upon your home.

Leave Your Mark
The choices you make and the way you act will have profound effects on the future of the Western Wastes. Visit the various locales of the Western Wastes of California, trade sheets of TP for valuable supplies, and help other Wasters out by taking on their requests. Make friends with the wasteland's, um, more "interesting" personalities, and you'll be rewarded with unique goods and services. Who knows, you might even end up altering the future of the wastelands forever!

The ghost makes the game feel not fun but if you disable the ghost game feels pointless and empty. Most of us bought this game because an Adult Swim commercial told us to ten years ago. I miss those days. [b]Take me back[/b]

[h1] Appear to be roguelike shooter with quirky characters that have oversized heads. Set in wastelands, where you enter shelters and loot them for TP (currency in game). Do some side missions. Inventory have limit for up to 10 items. Have to be quick or exterminator pops out trying to obliterate you so exploration have limited time. Music is unfitting. Gameplay is ok. Mixed feelings about this one. Solution - play Borderlands. [/h1]

A fun little FPS dungeon crawler with an 80's motif and a pretty decent sound track (talking about the radio music mostly). A lot of people complain about the Purifier/Hunter, but nobody seems to mention that YOU CAN TURN IT OFF. Yes, when you start a new game you have the option to play without it for a less rushed experience. Giving you the opportunity to explore every nook and cranny. Try it!

I like it but it's BS you get to create your character only for it to die and be replaced by a randomly created new one, 90% of time ugly as ♥♥♥♥.
