How it feels

A methodical, tactical turn-based RPG that feels like navigating a hostile, irradiated wasteland with strategic combat and faction-driven choices.

What players say

Players praise the retro-futuristic setting and the many ways to solve problems, especially stealth and low-intelligence runs. However, many report that the game falls apart after a strong first act, with a non-existent ending, dull side quests, and a few game-breaking bugs.
