Loved the game back when. If your on a windows 8 machine don't purchase this till it's fixed. First Time I've gotten a game here (I've got about 30) that doesn't work.
I'm a backer and I played the original back in 86. Been a post apocalypse rpg guy ever since. Twilight 2000, Gamma world you name it. This game is without a doubt very heavy on the reading. Know that going in. Don't like reading in your games? Go away. That being said the story line is deep and prolonged and for the most part very enjoyable. They really needed to bring in a better writer for there comedic nuances. Much of it came off like that uncle we all have that thinks he's funny but only makes you sit there in uncomfortable silence. My sadness for this game comes from the combat system. I think they had a vision for what they wanted it to be. Unfortunately they couldn't bring it to realization and decided that even knowing that they wouldn't rethink it. A squad based game that wont allow for simultaneous commands is inexcusable. The fact that the game will not allow you to initiate combat is incomprehensible. All you can do is blindly shoot at a moving target that is almost impossible to hit outside turn based combat and then hope that the enemy notices and then graces you with the start of turn based combat. It's absurd. These things can be easily fixed. Having had an extended beta period tells me that these issues are well known to the designers. There for they are just holding there breath and stamping there feet in denial. Probably there just prattling on about a vision for the game. This tells me that the likelihood these issues will be addressed at about 0%. Lets hope the mod community will pick up the slack. Then my 2 will bump to a 4.
