Wasteland Remastered is a modern version of the classic 80s RPG, featuring "completely overhauled graphics, sound, and expanded musical score". We'll chuck a more in-depth description of the game down below, alongside a link to the game's launch trailer from back in 2020.
"The year is 2087, nearly a century after an all-out nuclear war turned vast swaths of the Earth into a radioactive hellscape. You are a Desert Ranger, a band of stalwart lawmen who are the only hope left in what was once the American southwest, and good people’s last defense against hunger, sickness, ravaging raiders, and mutants.
Now something more secretive and sinister is menacing humanity, and it's your job to investigate. Recruit help and follow leads—the choices you make will shape the world around you. Choose wisely, your life and the lives of those you’re sworn to protect depend on it."
