And available on GoG.com (DRM free) and Steam.

I've backed the project on Kickstarter and can't wait to play it later this evening! Can't believe it's been some 25 years since I've played the original.

Hi Para, I saw it.

Never played the original, mind giving a short rundown what kind of gameplay to expect and why you like it?

Wasteland 2 is a 'classic' RPG set in a post-apocalyptic world. You create a group of rangers and set out into the wastes to bring justice and peace. Or create general mayhem. wink

The original Wasteland basically served as major inspiration for the Fallout series.

You travel on world map to various locations, explore them and face various enemies in turn-based combat. Story and atmosphere are a very important part of the game, there's a lot of text to be read.

You like Fallout 1+2? Chances are good you'll like Wasteland 2.

Here's a review from PC Gamer.

Thanks, I admit I only played FO3... not the earlier ones, but I recognized the similarity.

Might be worth a go. There's another very good isometric RPG on GOG also, nice to see people release new titles on that storefront.

Would that be Shadowrun Returns?
I was actually thinking to buy that one. I have enough Steam dosh, made by selling those collectible cards, to pick that up for free... Anyone can recommend?

Actually, maybe I open another thread...

Cool checked out the beta and can't wait to play the final, the original and FO1 and FO2 were some of my favorite RPG games.

Also as far as KickStarter goes this was a great deal as I got a digital (steam) copy for being a $15 KS backer.

I got Wasteland 2 as a backer reward for Tides of Numenera, another RPG in the same vein of Torment.

Or Divinity: Original Sin?
