Wasteland, released in 1988, launched the post-apocalyptic role-playing game genre that spawned spiritual successors such as Fallout and Last of Us.

After an ambush, you are the sole survivor in a team of Desert Rangers dispatched to make contact with the Patriarch, ruler of Colorado. Sounds simple? As it turns out, the Desert Rangers find themselves entangled in a web of deceit, betrayal and twists, with many factions to engage in the freezing Colorado wastelands.

You can have up to six members in your squad at any one time. And I highly recommend mixing characters with different skill sets such as medic, barter, charisma and computer hacking into your active squad. Like its predecessor, Wasteland 3 is played via a third-person isometric view with turn-based combat gameplay. Each squad member have a certain number of action points, which are needed for actions such as moving and firing a weapon. You have to plan properly during battle.

Furthermore, it is through these dialogues that you are able to move the gripping story forward and affect its final outcome. There were times when I actually stopped the game and pondered what I should say and do next.
