WASTED screams that it was influenced by Borderlands, albeit with a lower poly count. So you will die.īorders on the lands of the lands at the borderĬell Shading has kept some games from looking like crap years later, with Borderlands being the game which came to mind as soon as I was shunted into the Wastes. But in spite of these touches, the combat isn't a walk in the park. Winding up your melee attacks is a nice touch, shooting works perfectly well. If the attack doesn't instakill your target, you become detected - just like in BethSofts' most lucrative franchises - and every enemy in the immediate area attacks. The stealth feels a lot like that in Skyrimor Fallout 4, where you have a hidden meter and attacks on unaware enemies nets you a damage bonus. The final option is to make your enemies feel stupid - which is surprisingly hard to do with enemies this dumb - and ninja it up. Wind up for the most powerful of hits, or spam attack to get fast but weak hits in - you can even break down locked doors with explosions, blunt force, or by tinkering with them (lock picking). If you prefer looking at your prey directly in the eyes, take a knife, baseball bat, or your fists and hit things. You can also take the longer range approach with rifles, or be a dumb John Wick and use pistols. Take a DUZI ( WASTEDs version of an UZI) and breeze through ammo, but also kill rather quickly - killing is made a duzi. I'll fight you! Cause duh.That's what we do!Ĭombat gives you a surprising number of options with melee, guns, or stealth. To get these, you must take on a cooler run, which involves going deep underground into a cooler. Down a bottle of Booze, and you'll get a banging hangover, plus a mutation which grants you extra resistance to damage, speed, strength, or damage output. WASTED is a roguelike with RPG and dungeon crawler elements, where you scavenge for Booze, guns, armor, and radioactive buffs. Zombies do make an appearance, and they explode when they die. You play as a Waster, the least braindead survivor in the Wastes. Even if I'm not very impressed with toilet humour, it actually works rather well in the WASTED. Yep, childish humor is the name of the day, as WASTED is littered with both intelligent jokes and some very childish ones. There is a good reason for TP being as good as money - because of the radiation, everyone has the runs. The cause, Booze, is also the fuel of the land and toilet paper (TP) is the new form of currency. The game is set in a post-apocalypse where nuclear war has wiped out all of the intelligent people, and the survivors are dumb due to radiation. (I say sad, it's not actually sad.) While it's not breaking any rules, or doing anything crazy and new, WASTED is a fun little game with a few quirks both good and bad. The sad truth is, WASTED is actually pretty good.
