Wastelander - Fallout meets SimCity in this roguelike strategy game

Welcome to the world of Wastelander

The post-apocalyptic survival of Fallout meets the PC classic SimCity in a new roguelike strategy game, now available on Steam with a small discount.

Fallout is the ultimate post-apocalyptic survival game. You scavenge for weapons, barely survive on old boxes of Sugar Bombs, and gradually rebuild settlements, protecting them with - ahem - the help of Preston Garvey. On the other hand, SimCity is a cold-hearted PC classic, one of the first city builders and a testament to the fact that a simple concept and a clear user interface can create one of the greatest gaming experiences of all time. So, if Fallout is great and SimCity is also great, what if we bring them together? Introducing Wastelander, a new roguelike strategy game that has just launched on Steam with a nice introductory discount.

Turn-based Colony Building Game

Wastelander is a turn-based colony building game. The extensive campaign takes place on randomly generated maps. The goal is simple: starting from absolutely nothing, you must explore the hostile alien planet around you, unlock new fields, and begin building all the necessities for survival in the harsh, quasi-nuclear landscape.

The Planet Fights Back

However, here's the twist: like the devastating radiation storms that ravage the Glowing Sea, the planet in Wastelander fights back aggressively. You are essentially on a timer to mine resources, construct amenities, and complete your entire infrastructure before the environment ultimately destroys you.

Daily Challenges and Variable Difficulty Levels

There are daily challenges, various difficulty levels, and the entire visual design is reminiscent of classic strategy games. Even better: since it has just been released, you can get Wastelander at a discount.

For Fans of Classic Strategy Games

If you enjoy a challenging strategy game that combines long-term planning with quick thinking and miss the days of SimCity and War Wind, you can now get Wastelander on Steam.
