Alright, for a majority of what so many people do not know about the origins of this game is it's history. Most people think this is a videogame copying Ninja Turtles and Xcom when this is actually not of the case(Maybe the video game adaption might have touched upon it, but still, the game is older than Xcom). The video game originally was not a video game. It was a tabletop game very much like White Wolf, Dungeons & Dragons, Gamma World, Star Frontiers etc. Mutant Year Zero "Roleplaying At The End Of Days". Year Zero came out in the late 80's whilst Ninja Turtles came out in the early 80's. The videogame is just the newest game adaptation is all really. Yeah, Mutant Year Zero came out before Xcom existed and it was very surprising, shocking to me that they remade it and it's comeback as a videogame instead of the books of which I had been familiar with for years. I absolutely love that they brought and shown some of the things originally from the roleplay books although there are obvious differences. If you have noticed the Dice in the loading screens, that's a throwback to the original tabletop. The game system is a D6 system, very simple, but however the translation to english is a little awkward as the game originally is from Europe. And the other video game, The Miasma Chronicles hits the other areas, the claim that it's not the same Year Zero world is not very convincing to me as in the tabletop version you could play mutants that were either born, created from the effects of the zone rot(Radiation) or experimentaion, animal mutants being the results of experimentation, robots created by man and abandoned through time left to rot and wait for their humans to return and normal human beings that have a hold of high technological gadgets gone to hiding, abandoning everything to survive from the Red Plague. I absolutely love the game and the turn based part is just the vibes of the tabletop version of what it originally was. Please check it out if you want.
