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. Still, you have PLENTY of methods to counter enemies and grow really powerful against them. Like Fear & Hunger, knowing your enemies makes fights against them really manageable. Story-wise, it's short but pretty immersive. It may be a bit predictable, but that's nothing against it. [spoiler] This may be me wishing for a happier end, but it would be cool if you could actually save your family from Snare without them dying. Then, you could have them live back in the eco-center once you finish claiming it as your own colony.[/spoiler] It's to give you a primary goal laid out, alongside the side-quests and other activities. Even once you finish the main story, there's still a lot more you can do in the game -- lots of people still could use your help, after all. The base-building part was a surprise to me! It's nice being able to hire a hazmat crew to treat your lingering radiation! Just wish the travel guide could take you there from the other colonies. That would've made it feel like the eco-center is more involved as a "spot of refuge" for people to seek out. Oh, and major props to Corrosive Studios! They're very active when it comes to support and helping out with people's issues. I got stuck on one of the quests near the end, and they were able to get to my discussion post really quickly! Plus, the Steam guides are helpful to familiarize yourself with the game or get hints on where to go. I'd recommend the game for that fact alone, honestly.

Nice

Approved

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.

It's a great game. Took me a few deaths in the beginning figuring out which "build" (talents etc.) I wanted to lean more to. There will always be room in my heart for these low bit games. I like the speed at which you level and weaponize at. Seems pretty balanced that way for progression. -If this type of game is not your cup of tea, don't play it and thumbz down. The down review is for crap games left to die and or with bad dev's. Regardless of your preferred genre. Thumbz downing a game because your old arze potato can't play when 11k others can is also an idiot reason to so.

- So fun to play, rating 86/100

For what it is, Waste Walkers is a fun game. It's compact, and can be pretty repetitive, and you never need to get more than one companion. Once you have a companion, you'll never feel the need to ever switch them out for another. I wish there was more content. BTW the sleeping bag makes basic medical items (those that don't heal effects) worthless. Get the sleeping bag lmao. Nothing like sleeping with your party six times in a row while bandits walk toward you.

post apoc the rpg maker way. May not look good, and the world may not be that big, but it has its charms. Though you are limited on your character's appearance, you do have stats and perks to choose which effect your game play. Loot, crafting, companions, and quests can also be found. When you are done with the main game there is dlc to be bought.

This was the second title by Corrosive Studios that I played, the first being Lawless Lands. A simple Indie RPG in a post nuclear apocalypse setting. I put in around 12 hours to finish the main quest and side quests. Was worth my $3.
