![]() ![]() ![]() Overall, the original core experience was retained, for better or worse. It remains very menu heavy in general, with something as simple as skill-use requiring multiple clicks. Enemy groups are represented on the field with unique pieces, but combat itself takes place in a text box. ![]() The UI may be new, but it’s still best navigated via keyboard with minor mouse input. There is no tutorial for example, and you’re expected to have given the manual a quick perusal before starting. Make no mistake, the game remains a product of its time, new looks aside. The game itself also received a few major quality of life upgrades, but newcomers will be hard-pressed to believe it. The new cinematics feature brand new animation and art alongside full voice-acting. Those of us who have played the original will recognize all its charms retained while newer players will find something far more visually inviting. Much like WarCraft III: Reforged, the fine line between modernizing and remaining true is expertly maneuvered. Brand new cinematics with full voice-acting, redrawn and reanimated portraits, and a new 3D board game style for maps and models. It’s far more than a simple resolution upgrade, as everything has been remade from the ground up.

Fallout actually exists at all because Interplay couldn’t get the original Wasteland rights back, so they ripped themselves off. It’s a simple sleek look that is nonetheless charming.įor those who have no idea what Wasteland even is, the easiest explanation is it’s literally Fallout. ![]()
